Abstract: We introduce two algebraic completely integrable analogues of the Mumford systems which we call hyperelliptic Prym systems, because every hyperelliptic Prym variety appears as a fiber of their momentum map. As an application we show that the generic fiber of the momentum map of the periodic Volterra lattice ${\displaystyle }$dot a_i=a_i(a_{i-1}-a_{i+1}), qquad i=1,...,n,quad a_{n+1}=a_1,${\displaystyle }$ is an affine part of a hyperelliptic Prym variety, obtained by removing $n$ translates of the theta divisor, and we conclude that this integrable system is algebraic completely integrable.

Review text

The authors introduce two algebraic completely integrable systems, similar to the even and Mumford systems. To show that the hyperelliptic Prym systems are algebraic completely integrable systems they exhibit a family of compatible (linear) Poisson structures, making these systems multi-Hamiltonian. As an application they study the algebraic geometry and the Hamiltonian structure of the periodic Volterra lattice \[ \dot a_i= a_i(a_{i-1}-a_{i+1}), \quad i=1,\dots, n,\;a_{n+1}= a_1. \tag{1} \] Moreover, they give a precise description of the fibers of the momentum map of (1) and prove their algebraic complete integrability.
