Abstract: It is well known that the compatible linear and quadratic Poisson brackets of the full symmetric and of the standard open Toda lattices are restrictions of linear and quadratic r-matrix Poisson brackets on the associative algebra mathrmgl(n,mathbbR). We here show that the quadratic bracket on mathrmgl(n,mathbbR), corresponding to the r-matrix defined by the splitting of mathrmgl(n,mathbbR) into the direct sum of the upper triangular and orthogonal Lie subalgebras, descends by Poisson reduction from a quadratic Poisson structure on the cotangent bundle T∗mathrmGL(n,mathbbR). This complements the interpretation of the linear r-matrix bracket as a reduction of the canonical Poisson bracket of the cotangent bundle.
