Generalized Toda mechanics associated with classical Lie algebras and their reductions

Abstract

For any classical Lie algebra $g$, we construct a family of integrable generalizations of Toda mechanics labeled a pair of ordered integers $(m,n)$. The universal form of the Lax pair, equations of motion, Hamiltonian as well as Poisson brackets are provided, and explicit examples for $\mathfrak{g}=B_r,C_r,D_r$ with $m,n\le 3$ are also given. For all $m,n$, it is shown that the dynamics of the $(m,n-1)$- and the $(m-1,n)$-Toda chains are natural reductions of that of the $(m,n)$-chain, and for $m=n$, there is also a family of symmetrically reduced Toda systems, the $(m,m{)}_{\mathrm{Sym}}$-Toda systems, which are also integrable. In the quantum case, all $(m,n)$-Toda systems with $m>1$ or $n>1$ describe the dynamics of standard Toda variables coupled to noncommutative variables. Except for the symmetrically reduced cases, the integrability for all $(m,n)$-Toda systems survive after quantization.
