Bi-Hamiltonian Structures > s.a. integrable
systems; quantum systems.
* Idea: (M, 
, H, ', H'),
such that (, H)
and (', H')
induce the same Hamiltonian vector fields (equations of motion).
* Useful tensor: Can
define the 1-1 tensor Sab:= 'acbc;
satisfies 
X_H Sab
= 0.
* Conserved quantities: Can
be obtained by K0:= ln |det S|; Kn:= (1/n) tr Sn.
* Nijenhuis tensor: Defined using S, by
Nabm:=
Sac
c Sbm – Sbc c Sam – Scm (a Sbc – b Sac)
,
which is Lie-derived by XH. The system is integrable if N = 0.
