Relationships between algebraic curves and integrable systems (14H70) Completely integrable finite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems, integration methods, integrability tests (37J35) Relations of infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian and Lagrangian dynamical systems with algebraic geometry, complex analysis, and special functions (37K20)
The paper is centered around the following theorem of \textit{E. Markman} [Compos. Math. 93, 255--290 (1994; Zbl 0824.14013)]: {There is an algebraically integrable system on the moduli space of meromorphic Higgs bundles on a curve.} The major part of the paper is a discussion of the many ingredients from algebraic and symplectic geometry which go into the proof (and indeed the statement) of the theorem. Topics covered include: symplectic and Poisson manifolds, integrable systems, moment maps, vector bundles on algebraic curves, their moduli spaces and stacks, Higgs bundles and their symplectic geometry. A final section discusses examples, further developments, and open problems. The paper is largely complementary to the paper [\textit{R. Donagi} and \textit{E. Markman}, in: Integrable systems and quantum groups, Lect. Notes Math. 1620, 1--119 (1996; Zbl 0853.35100)] which gives a more formal introduction to the subject. The paper under review is an admirable introduction to a fascinating, but difficult and eclectic, topic. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1050.37002].
