Hamiltonian pairs associated with skew-symmetric Killing tensors on spaces of constant curvature (Q1896960)

Let \(u = \{u^1(x), \dots, u^n(x)\}\) denote the vector functions and \(F = \int f(u, u_x, \dots) dx\), \(G=\int g(u, u_x, \dots) dx\) the functionals. The authors investigate the conditions for the Poisson brackets \[ \{F,G\} = \int {\delta F\over \delta u^i (x)} \Omega^{ij} {\delta G\over \delta u^j (x)} dx, \] where \(\Omega^{ij}\) is equal to either \(A^{ij} = g^{ij}(u)d - g^{is} (u) \Gamma^j_{sk} (u) u^k_x + cu^i_x d^{-1} u^j_x\) or to \(\omega^{ij} (u)\), which is a skew-symmetric tensor, to be compatible. In other words, \(A^{ij}\), \(\omega^{ij}\) form a Hamiltonian pair, i.e. \(\omega^{ij}\) is a Killing tensor. As an application they show that the corresponding hierarchy of integrable systems coincides with the Heisenberg ferromagnet equations and construct the proper Killing tensors on the \(n\)-dimensional sphere.
