Description

We extend the construction of the relativistic Toda chains as integrable systems on the Poisson submanifolds in Lie groups beyond the case of the A-series. For the simply laced case this is just a direct generalization of the well-known relativistic Toda chains procedure, and we construct explicitly the set of Ad-invariant integrals of motion on symplectic leaves, which can be described using Poisson quivers, which are just blown-up Dynkin diagrams. We also demonstrate how to get the set of 'minimal' integrals of motion, using the co-multiplication rules for the corresponding Lie algebras. In the non-simply laced case the corresponding Bogoyavlensky–Coxeter–Toda systems are constructed using the Fock–Goncharov folding of the corresponding Poisson submanifolds. We discuss also how this procedure can be extended for the affine case beyond the A-series, and consider explicitly an example from the affine D-series. (paper)
