Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0726.00014.] Loop algebras provide the modern context for integrable Hamiltonian systems. The loop algebra typically admits a decomposition into subalgebras one of which can be exponentiated to a group action whose coadjoint orbits in the other subalgebra are symplectic manifolds. Invariant functions on these are candidate Hamiltonians for integrable systems. The present paper surveys a number of recent results in this approach focussing on the case where the Lax operator is rational in the loop parameter. In particular the authors consider the problem of distinct representations of a given integrable equation by Lax pairs, the extension of the linearization procedure to the case of singular spectral curves and the relationship between the algebraic geometry of spectral curves and the symplectic geometry of rational coadjoint orbits. In the case of ``generic spectral curves the authors discuss a Hamiltonian interpretation of the Abel map.
