dc.description.abstract | In this paper we consider the geometry of Hamiltonian flows on the cotangent bundle of coadjoint orbits of compact Lie groups and on symmetric spaces. A key idea here is the use of the normal metric to define the kinetic energy. This leads to Hamiltonian flows of the double bracket type. We analyze the integrability of geodesic flows according to the method of Thimm. We obtain via the double bracket formalism a quite explicit form of the relevant commuting flows and a correspondingly transparent proof of involutivity. We demonstrate for example integrability of the geodesic flow on the real and complex Grassmannians. We also consider right invariant systems and the generalized rigid body equations in this setting. | en_US |
