We report on the the trigonometric spin Ruijsenaars--Sutherland hierarchy derived recently by Poisson reduction of a bi-Hamiltonian hierarchy associated with free geodesic motion on the Lie group U(n). In particular, we give a direct proof of a previously stated result about the form of the second Poisson bracket in terms of convenient variables., Comment: Contribution to the proceedings of the XXXVIII Workshop on Geometric Methods in Physics (Bialowieza, June 2019), 9 pages

We investigate the trigonometric real form of the spin Ruijsenaars-Schneider system introduced, at the level of equations of motion, by Krichever and Zabrodin in 1995. This pioneering work and all earlier studies of the Hamiltonian interpretation of the system were performed in complex holomorphic settings; understanding the real forms is a non-trivial problem. We explain that the trigonometric real form emerges from Hamiltonian reduction of an obviously integrable 'free' system carried by a spin extension of the Heisenberg double of the ${\rm U}(n)$ Poisson-Lie group. The Poisson structure on the unreduced real phase space ${\rm GL}(n,\mathbb{C}) \times \mathbb{C}^{nd}$ is the direct product of that of the Heisenberg double and $d\geq 2$ copies of a ${\rm U}(n)$ covariant Poisson structure on $\mathbb{C}^n \simeq \mathbb{R}^{2n}$ found by Zakrzewski, also in 1995. We reduce by fixing a group valued moment map to a multiple of the identity, and analyze the resulting reduced system in detail. In particular, we derive on the reduced phase space the Hamiltonian structure of the trigonometric spin Ruijsenaars-Schneider system and we prove its degenerate integrability., Comment: 52 pages, 1 figure. v2: typos removed, final version

Integrable many-body systems of Ruijsenaars--Schneider--van Diejen type displaying action-angle duality are derived by Hamiltonian reduction of the Heisenberg double of the Poisson-Lie group $\mathrm{SU}(2n)$. New global models of the reduced phase space are described, revealing non-trivial features of the two systems in duality with one another. For example, after establishing that the symplectic vector space $\mathbb{C}^n\simeq\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ underlies both global models, it is seen that for both systems the action variables generate the standard torus action on $\mathbb{C}^n$, and the fixed point of this action corresponds to the unique equilibrium positions of the pertinent systems. The systems in duality are found to be non-degenerate in the sense that the functional dimension of the Poisson algebra of their conserved quantities is equal to half the dimension of the phase space. The dual of the deformed Sutherland system is shown to be a limiting case of a van Diejen system., Comment: 39 pages, some stylistic changes and typos removed in v2

Integrable deformations of the hyperbolic and trigonometric ${\mathrm{BC}}_n$ Sutherland models were recently derived via Hamiltonian reduction of certain free systems on the Heisenberg doubles of ${\mathrm{SU}}(n,n)$ and ${\mathrm{SU}}(2n)$, respectively. As a step towards constructing action-angle variables for these models, we here apply the same reduction to a different free system on the double of ${\mathrm{SU}}(2n)$ and thereby obtain a novel integrable many-body model of Ruijsenaars--Schneider--van Diejen type that is in action-angle duality with the respective deformed Sutherland model., Comment: 21 pages, v2: typos removed, references updated

We investigate the possibilities of observing the decay mode for $^{124}$Xe in which two electrons are captured, two neutrinos are emitted, and the final daughter nucleus is in its ground state, using dark matter experiments with liquid xenon. The first upper limit of the decay half-life is calculated to be 1.66$\times10^{21}$ years at a 90% confidence level (C.L.) obtained with the published background data from the XENON100 experiment. Employing a known background model from the Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment, we predict that the detection of double-electron capture of $^{124}$Xe to the ground state of $^{124}$Te with LUX will have approximately 115 events, assuming a half-life of 2.9 $\times$ 10$^{21}$ years. We conclude that measuring $^{124}$Xe 2$\nu$ double-electron capture to the ground state of $^{124}$Te can be performed more precisely with the proposed LUX-Zeplin (LZ) experiment., Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, and 2 tables

We construct a Poisson isomorphism between the formal Poisson manifolds g^* and G^*, where g is a finite dimensional quasitriangular Lie bialgebra. Here g^* is equipped with its Lie-Poisson (or Kostant-Kirillov-Souriau) structure, and G^* with its Poisson-Lie structure. We also quantize Poisson-Lie dynamical r-matrices of Balog-Feher-Palla., Comment: 9 pages

Poisson-Lie (PL) dynamical r-matrices are generalizations of dynamical r-matrices, where the base is a Poisson-Lie group. We prove analogues of basic results for these r-matrices, namely constructions of (quasi)Poisson groupoids and of Poisson homogeneous spaces. We introduce a class of PL dynamical r-matrices, associated to nondegenerate Lie bialgebras with a splitting; this is a generalization of trigonometric r-matrices with an abelian base. We prove a composition theorem for PL dynamical r-matrices, and construct quantizations of the polarized PL dynamical r-matrices. This way, we obtain quantizations of Poisson homogeneous structures on G/L (G a semisimple Lie group, L a Levi subgroup), thereby generalizing earlier constructions., Comment: 36 pages

The gauge action of the Lie group $G$ on the chiral WZNW phase space ${\cal M}_{\check G}$ of quasiperiodic fields with $\check G$-valued monodromy, where $\check G\subset G$ is an open submanifold, is known to be a Poisson-Lie (PL) action with respect to any coboundary PL structure on $G$, if the Poisson bracket on ${\cal M}_{\check G}$ is defined by a suitable monodromy dependent exchange $r$-matrix. We describe the momentum map for these symmetries when $G$ is either a factorisable PL group or a compact simple Lie group with its standard PL structure. The main result is an explicit one-to-one correspondence between the monodromy variable $M \in \check G$ and a conventional variable $\Omega \in G^*$. This permits us to convert the PL groupoid associated with a WZNW exchange $r$-matrix into a `canonical' PL groupoid constructed from the Heisenberg double of $G$, and consequently to obtain a natural PL generalization of the classical dynamical Yang-Baxter equation., Comment: 22 pages, v2: with clarifying remarks added in the introduction

We derive a generalization of the classical dynamical Yang-Baxter equation (CDYBE) on a self-dual Lie algebra $\cal G$ by replacing the cotangent bundle T^*G in a geometric interpretation of this equation by its Poisson-Lie (PL) analogue associated with a factorizable constant r-matrix on $\cal G$. The resulting PL-CDYBE, with variables in the Lie group G equipped with the Semenov-Tian-Shansky Poisson bracket based on the constant r-matrix, coincides with an equation that appeared in an earlier study of PL symmetries in the WZNW model. In addition to its new group theoretic interpretation, we present a self-contained analysis of those solutions of the PL-CDYBE that were found in the WZNW context and characterize them by means of a uniqueness result under a certain analyticity assumption., Comment: 13 pages, LaTeX2e.

We present the synthesis and structural characterisation of a transition metal oxide hydride, LaSrCoO_3H_{0.7}, which adopts an unprecedented structure in which oxide chains are bridged by hydride anions to form a two- dimensional extended network. The metal centers are strongly coupled by their bonding with both oxide and hydride ligands to produce magnetic ordering up to at least 350 K. The synthetic route is sufficiently general to allow the prediction of a new class of transition metal-containing electronic and magnetic materials., Comment: 6 pages, including 3 figures

A family of special cases of the integrable Euler equations on $so(n)$ introduced by Manakov in 1976 is considered. The equilibrium points are found and their stability is studied. Heteroclinic orbits are constructed that connect unstable equilibria and are given by the orbits of certain 1-parameter subgroups of SO(n). The results are complete in the case $n=4$ and incomplete for $n>4$., Comment: 15 pages, LaTeX, minor stylistic changes in v2
