Abstract: We propose a new family of natural generalizations of the pentagram map from 2D to higher dimensions and prove their integrability on generic twisted and closed polygons. In dimension $d$ there are $d-1$ such generalizations called dented pentagram maps, and we describe their geometry, continuous limit, and Lax representations with a spectral parameter. We prove algebraic-geometric integrability of the dented pentagram maps in the 3D case and compare the dimensions of invariant tori for the dented maps with those for the higher pentagram maps constructed with the help of short diagonal hyperplanes. When restricted to corrugated polygons, the dented pentagram maps coincide between themselves and with the corresponding corrugated pentagram map. Finally, we prove integrability for a variety of pentagram maps for generic and partially corrugated polygons in higher dimensions.

Review text

The pentagram map was originally introduced by \textit{R. Schwartz} [Exp. Math. 1, No. 1, 71--81 (1992; Zbl 0765.52004)], and was defined on plane convex polygons. Later, the map was extended to include twisted polygons in dimension 2 as well. There are various attempts and different approaches to extend this map to higher dimensions. In this paper, the authors introduce ``the dented pentagram maps as the integrable generalised pentagram maps that unify the previous approaches. For these dented pentagram maps, the authors describe their geometry, their Lax representation and, in dimension 3, it is proven their algebraic-geometric integrability.
