A 3D generalisation of QRT and the construction of integrable birational systems

Presented by Dr. Jaume ALONSO on 22 Jun 2023 from 15:30 to 16:00

Content

When completely integrable Hamiltonian systems are discretised, the resulting discrete-time systems are often no longer integrable themselves. This is the so-called "problem of integrable discretisation". Two known exceptions to this situation in 3D are the Kahan discretisations of the Euler top and the Zhukovski-Volterra gyrostat with one non-zero linear parameter $\beta$, both of degree 3. The integrals of these systems define pencils of quadrics. By analysing the geometry of these pencils, we develop a framework that generalises QRT maps and QRT roots to 3D, which allows us to create new integrable maps as a composition of two involutions. We show that under certain geometric conditions, the new maps become of degree 3. We use these results to create new families of discrete integrable maps and we solve the problem of integrability of the Zhukovski-Volterra gyrostat with two $\beta$'s. This is a joint work with Yuri Suris and Kangning Wei.
