Abstract: We define a 1-parameter family of r-matrices on the loop algebra of sl2, defining compatible Poisson structures on the associated loop group, which degenerate into the rational and trigonometric structures, and study the Manin triples associated to them.


The concept of bi-Hamiltonian structures on manifolds is known to play an important role in the study of classical integrable systems. An example of bi-Hamiltonian manifolds comes from the theory of Poisson-Lie groups. The rational and trigonometric structures on loop groups are compatible. Accordingly a natural question arises: Find higher compatible Poisson structures on these groups. In this letter the authors answer this question in the \(SL_2\) case. They introduce a 1-parameter family of \(r\)-matrices on the loop algebra of \(sl_2\) which defines a family of compatible Poisson structures on the associated loop group. By an operation of shifting of the spectral parameter, the \(r\)-matrices degenerate into the rational and trigonometric ones.
