Non-integrability vs. integrability in pentagram maps (Q478625)

In this work, some recent results on integrable cases for higher-dimensional generalizations of the 2D pentagram map are revised and discussed in a natural framework for the notion of a discrete integrable Hamiltonian map. It is shown that in many cases, the pentagram map cannot be included into integrable flows as a time-one map. In the article it is discussed how the corresponding notion of discrete integrability can be extended to include jumps between invariant tori. A universal class of pentagram-type maps is defined and a projective duality for them is described. Numerical evidence that certain generalizations of the integrable 2D pentagram map are non-integrable is obtained and a conjecture for a necessary condition of their discrete integrability is presented.
