Bi-Hamiltonian flows and their realizations as curves in real semisimple homogeneous manifolds (Q600632)

In recent years, bi-Hamiltonian integrable systems have been related to invariant flows of curves in different types of manifolds through geometric realizations, that is, evolutions of curves inducing the integrable system on its curvatures, or differential invariants in general. In particular, the author has linked bi-Hamiltonian structures of certain integrable systems to a process that reduces well-known compatible Poisson brackets on the manifolds of loops in the dual of the Lie algebra to the manifold of differential invariants. In this paper, the reduction process is described for the manifold of differential invariants of parametrized curves for any homogeneous manifold of the form \(G/H\), with \(G\) semisimple. The author also proves that the equations that are Hamiltonian with respect to the first of these reduced brackets have a realization as an invariant flow of curves in \(G/H\). Hamiltonian structures associated to \(SO(n+1)/SO(n)\) are studied here in detail.
