On generalizations of the pentagram map: discretizations of AGD flows

Mathematical Physics 2011-03-28 v1 math.MP

Abstract

In this paper we investigate discretizations of AGD flows whose projective realizations are defined by intersecting different types of subspaces in \RPm\RP^m. These maps are natural candidates to generalize the pentagram map, itself defined as the intersection of consecutive shortest diagonals of a convex polygon, and a completely integrable discretization of the Boussinesq equation. We conjecture that the kk-AGD flow in mm dimensions can be discretized using one k1k-1 subspace and k1k-1 different m1m-1-dimensional subspaces of \RPm\RP^m.
