Abstract

Let xRnx\in\mathbb{R}^{n}. For ϕ:RnRn\phi:\mathbb{R}^{n}\mapsto\mathbb{R}^{n} and tRt\in\mathbb{R}, we put ϕt=t1ϕ(xt)\phi^{t}=t^{-1}\phi(xt). A projective flow is a solution to the projective translation equation ϕt+s=ϕtϕs\phi^{t+s}=\phi^{t}\circ\phi^{s}, t,sRt,s\in\mathbb{R}. Previously we have developed an arithmetic, topologic and analytic theory of 22-dimensional projective flows: rational, algebraic, unramified, abelian flows, commuting flows. The current paper is devoted to highly symmetric flows - superflows. Within flows with a given symmetry, superflows are unique and optimal. Our first result classifies all 22-dimensional superflows. For any positive integer dd, there exists the superflow ϕD2d+1\phi_{\mathbb{D}_{2d+1}} whose group of symmetries is the dihedral group D2d+1\mathbb{D}_{2d+1}. In the current paper we explore the superflow ϕD5\phi_{\mathbb{D}_{5}}, which leads to investigation of abelian functions over curve of genus 66. The 33-dimensional theory of projective flows is more involved. We investigate two different 33-dimensional superflows, whose group of symmetries are, respectively, the full tetrahedral group T^\widehat{\mathbb{T}} (all symmetries of a tetrahedron), and the octahedral group O\mathbb{O} (orientation preserving symmetries of an octahedron), both isomorphic, though non-equivalent as representations. The generic orbits of the first flow are space curves of genus 11, and the flow itself can be analytically described in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions. The generic orbits of the second flow are curves of genus 99, and the flow itself can be described in terms of Weierstrass elliptic functions (via reduction of hyper-elliptic functions to elliptic). In the second part of this work we will classify all 33-dimensional superflows (including the icosahedral superflow), and in the third we investigate superflows over C\mathbb{C}.
