Abstract: In our previous papers we described the structure of trajectories of the symmetric Toda system on normal real forms of various Lie algebras and showed that it was totally determined by the Hasse diagram of the Bruhat order on the corresponding Weil group. This note deals with the simplest non-split real Lie algebra, mathfrakso(2,4). It turns out, that the phase diagram in this case is also closely related with the Bruhat order of the relative Weyl group, but a bit more information is necessary to describe the dimensions of the trajectory spaces.


In the previous works of the authors [Commun. Math. Phys. 330, No. 1, 367--399 (2014; Zbl 1305.37030); SIGMA, Symmetry Integrability Geom. Methods Appl. 12, Paper 084, 25 p. (2016; Zbl 1391.37045); Theor. Math. Phys. 193, No. 2, 1574--1592 (2017; Zbl 1383.37045); translation from Teor. Mat. Fiz. 193, No. 2, 193--213 (2017)] the phase portraits of Toda flow on normal real forms of semisimple algebras were analyzed. Such phase portraits coincide with the Hasse diagram of the Bruhat order on a Weyl group. This paper is related to the above mentioned papers and similar results are reported. \par In this paper the Toda system on the simplest non-split real form of a Lie algebra, that is $\mathfrak{so}(2,4),$ is studied. First, the Toda system on a semisimple real Lie algebra and its properties are recalled. Then the case of the matrix Lie group SO(2,4) is considered. Furthermore, the Morse function of the Toda field is described. Finally, the diagram depicting the structure of the trajectories of the system is given.
