Toric degenerations of Gelfand-Cetlin systems and potential functions (Q968820)

A flag manifold of type \(A\) admits a special completely integrable system, the Gelfand-Cetlin system [\textit{V. Guillemin} and \textit{S. Sternberg}, J. Funct. Anal. 52, 106--128 (1983; Zbl 0522.58021)]. The paper studies these systems via toric geometry. The central result of the paper is the existence of a toric degeneration of a Gelfand-Cetlin system to an integrable system given by a toric variety and its moment map. The authors apply their result to compute the potential function for Lagrangian torus fibers of the Gelfand-Cetlin system, following closely \textit{K. Fukaya, Y.-G. Oh, H. Ohta} and \textit{K. Ono} [Duke Math. J. 151, No. 1, 23--175 (2010; Zbl 1190.53078)]. The results are used to prove the existence of a non-displacable Lagrangian torus in the flag manifold, an analogue of Theorem 1.5 in [loc. cit.]. The last section relates the potential function for Lagrangian torus fibers of the classical Gelfand-Cetlin system on the full flag manifold to the phase function for an integral representation of the solution to the quantum Toda lattice.
