Outer automorphisms of \(sl(2)\), integrable systems, and mappings (Q1568003)

This paper deals with the Lax matrices for integrable Hamiltonian systems and discrete integrable mappings. The author demonstrates how simple algebraic properties of finite-dimensional Lie algebras can be effectively used to construct and study integrable systems and itnegrable mappings. To this end the author considers the Lie algebra \(g= sl(2)\). It is known that outer automorphisms of infinite-dimensional representations of \(g= sl(2)\) generate a broad class of integrable systems and integrable mappings. As a result these outer automorphisms are used to construct the Lax matrices for Hamiltonian integrable systems of Stäckel type and discrete integrable mappings related to these integrable systems are considered.
