For the rational, elliptic and trigonometric r-matrices, we exhibit the links between three "levels" of Poisson spaces: (a) Some finite-dimensional spaces of matrix-valued holomorphic functions on the complex line; (b) Spaces of spectral curves and sheaves supported on them; (c) Symmetric products of a surface. We have, at each level, a linear space of compatible Poisson structures, and the maps relating the levels are Poisson. This leads in a natural way to Nijenhuis coordinates for these spaces. At level (b), there are Hamiltonian systems on these spaces which are integrable for each Poisson structure in the family, and which are such that the Lagrangian leaves are the intersections of the symplective leaves over the Poisson structures in the family. Specific examples include many of the well-known integrable systems., Comment: 26 pages, Plain Tex

We exhibit the elliptic Calogero-Moser system as a Hitchin system of G-principal Higgs pairs. The group G, though naturally associated to any root system, is not semi-simple. We then interpret the Lax pairs with spectral parameter of [dP1] and [BSC1] in terms of equivariant embeddings of the Hitchin system of G into that of GL(N)., Comment: 22 pages, Plain Tex

A correspondence between 1) rank 2 completely integrable systems of Jacobians of algebraic curves and 2) (holomorphically) symplectic surfaces was established in a previous paper by the first author. A more general abelian variety that occurs as a Liouville torus of integrable systems is a prym variety associated to a triple (S,W,V) consisting of a curve S, a finite group W of automorphisms of S and an integral representation V. Often W is a Weyl group of a reductive group and V is the root lattice. We establish an analogous correspondence between: i) Rank 2 integrable systems whose Liouville tori are generalized prym varieties Prym(S_u,W,V) of a family of curves S_u, u in U. ii) Varieties X of dimension 1+dim(V) with a W-action and an invariant V-valued 2-form. If V is one dimensional X is a symplectic surface. We obtain a rigidity result: When the dimension of V is at least 2, under mild additional assumptions, all the quotient curves $S_u/W$ are isomorphic to a fixed curve C. This rigidity result imposes considerable constraints on the variety X: X admits a W-invariant fibration to C and the generic fiber has an affine structure modeled after V. Examples discussed include: Hitchin systems, reduced finite dimensional coadjoint orbits of loop algebras, and principal bundles over elliptic K3 surfaces., Comment: 53 pages

The method of constructing spectral Darboux coordinates on finite dimensional coadjoint orbits in duals of loop algebras is applied to the one pole case, where the orbit is identified with a coadjoint orbit in the dual of a finite dimensional Lie algebra. The constructions are carried out explicitly when the Lie algebra is $\frak{sl}(2,\bold R),\ \frak{sl}(3, \bold R),$ and $\frak{so}(3, \bold R)$, and for rank two orbits in $\frak{so}(n, \bold R)$. A new feature that appears is the possibility of identifying spectral Darboux coordinates associated to ``dynamical" choices of sections of the associated eigenvector line bundles; i.e. sections that depend on the point within the given orbit., Comment: AMSTeX 16pgs

Darboux coordinates are constructed on rational coadjoint orbits of the positive frequency part $\wt{\frak{g}}^+$ of loop algebras. These are given by the values of the spectral parameters at the divisors corresponding to eigenvector line bundles over the associated spectral curves, defined within a given matrix representation. A Liouville generating function is obtained in completely separated form and shown, through the Liouville-Arnold integration method, to lead to the Abel map linearization of all Hamiltonian flows induced by the spectral invariants. Serre duality is used to define a natural symplectic structure on the space of line bundles of suitable degree over a permissible class of spectral curves, and this is shown to be equivalent to the Kostant-Kirillov symplectic structure on rational coadjoint orbits. The general construction is given for $\frak{g}=\frak{gl}(r)$ or $\frak{sl}(r)$, with reductions to orbits of subalgebras determined as invariant fixed point sets under involutive automorphisms. The case $\frak{g=sl}(2)$ is shown to reproduce the classical integration methods for finite dimensional systems defined on quadrics, as well as the quasi-periodic solutions of the cubically nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. For $\frak{g=sl}(3)$, the method is applied to the computation of quasi-periodic solutions of the two component coupled nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation., Comment: 61 pgs
