A family of integrable maps associated with the Volterra lattice (Q6586975)

In [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 53 No 11, Article ID 115201 (2020; Zbl 1514.39010)] \textit {G. Gubbiotti} et al. classified four-dimensional birational maps of recurrence type that have the form \(\varphi: (w_0, w_1, w_2, w_3) \rightarrow (w_1, w_2, w_3, F(w_0, w_1, w_2, w_3))\), with a suitable rational function \(F\) of affine coordinates \((w_0, w_1, w_2, w_3) \in \mathbb{C}^4\). Here \(\varphi\) is invariant under the involution \(i: (w_0, w_1, w_2, w_3) \rightarrow (w_3, w_2, w_1, w_0)\). Such maps have two functionally independent polynomial invariants with certain specified degree patterns. In particular, the first three of these maps are Liouville integrable, having a nondegenerate Poisson bracket with the first two integrals in involution.\N\NIn the current paper the authors show how one of these Liouville integrable maps corresponds to genus-2 solutions of the infinite Volterra lattice. They note also that this map is the genus-2 case of a family of maps related to the Stieltjes continued fraction expansion of a function on a hyperelliptic curve of genus \(g \geq 1\).\NThey also study the corresponding nondegenerate Poisson bracket.
