On the geometry of certain isospectral sets in the full Kostant-Toda lattice (Q1816557)

We use momentum mappings on generalized flag manifolds and their momentum polytopes to study the geometry of the level sets of the 1-chop integrals of the full Kostant-Toda lattice in certain isospectral submanifolds of the phase space. We derive expressions for these integrals in terms of Plücker coordinates on the flag manifolds in the case that all eigenvalues are zero and compare the geometry of the base locus of their level set varieties with the corresponding geometry for distinct eigenvalues. Finally, we illustrate and extend our results in the context of all the full \(\text{sl} (3, \mathbb{C})\) and \(\text{sl} (4, \mathbb{C})\) Kostant-Toda lattices.
