Abstract: Various integrable geodesic flows on Lie groups are shown to arise by taking moments of a geodesic Vlasov equation on the group of canonical transformations. This was already known for both the one- and two-component Camassa-Holm systems. The present paper extends our earlier work to recover another integrable system of ODE's that was recently introduced by Bloch and Iserles. Solutions of the Bloch-Iserles system are found to arise from the Klimontovich solution of the geodesic Vlasov equation. These solutions are shown to form one of the legs of a dual pair of momentum maps. The Lie-Poisson structures for the dynamics of truncated moment hierarchies are also presented in this context.

Review text

Various integrable flows on Lie groups are known to arise by taking moments of a geodesic Vlasov equation on the group of canonical transformations. This was already known for both one- and two-component Camassa-Holm systems. Now the study adds more remarky about the Lie-Poisson bracket for the Vlasov equation. The Hamiltonian structure of the Vlasov moments and their truncations is discussed. The geodetic Vlasov equation is formulated and its dual pair is presented. The geometric footing of the kinetic theory is illustrated. It is shown how both of the Camassa-Holm systems are obtained as geodesic equations on kinetic moments. The Bloch- Iserles system is derived from the statistical moment equations and the Klimonovich solutions are presented which turn out to form one of the legs of a dual pair of momentum maps.
