Re-factorising a QRT map

Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems 2019-06-04 v1

Abstract

A QRT map is the composition of two involutions on a biquadratic curve: one switching the xx-coordinates of two intersection points with a given horizontal line, and the other switching the yy-coordinates of two intersections with a vertical line. Given a QRT map, a natural question is to ask whether it allows a decomposition into further involutions. Here we provide new answers to this question and show how they lead to a new class of maps, as well as known HKY maps and quadrirational Yang-Baxter maps.
