[For the entire collection see Zbl 0733.00016.] It is well known tha large classes of integrable Hamiltonian systems can be formulated as isospectral Hamiltonian flows with respect to the natural Lie-Poisson structure on the dual of a loop algebra, or more precisely as equations of Lax type \[ \dot L(\lambda)=[M(\lambda,L(\lambda)),L(\lambda)]. \] When \(L(\lambda)\) is a polynomial or a rational function, these can be integrated using methods of algebraic geometry. In the paper under review the authors put the above integration into a Hamiltonian framework and explain that it is in essence just the Liouville generating function of canonical transformation theory.
