In this paper we present an overview of the connection between completely integrable systems and the background geometry of the flow. This relation is better seen when using a group-based concept of moving frame introduced by Fels and Olver…
We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the integrability in quadratures of geodesic flows on homogeneous spaces $M$ with invariant and central metrics. The proposed integration algorithm consists in using a special canonical…

The paper reveals clear links between the differential-difference Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy and the (continuous) Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy, together with their symmetries, Hamiltonian structures and conserved quantities. They…
The Hamiltonian structure of the monodromy preserving deformation equations of Jimbo {\it et al } is explained in terms of parameter dependent pairs of moment maps from a symplectic vector space to the dual spaces of two different loop…
We prove the integrability of geodesic flows on the Riemannian g.o. spaces of compact Lie groups, as well as on a related class of Riemannian homogeneous spaces having an additional principal bundle structure.
We consider a geodesic flow on a compact manifold endowed with a Riemannian (or Finsler, or Lorentz) metric satisfying some generic, explicit conditions. We couple the geodesic flow with a time-dependent potential, driven by an external…
In this paper the two-dimensional Benney system describing long wave propagation of a finite depth fluid motion and the multi-dimensional Russo--Smereka kinetic equation describing a bubbly flow are considered. The Hamiltonian approach…
We formulate Euler-Poincar\'e equations on the Lie group Aut(P) of automorphisms of a principal bundle P. The corresponding flows are referred to as EPAut flows. We mainly focus on geodesic flows associated to Lagrangians of Kaluza-Klein…

The Camassa-Holm (CH) and Hunter-Saxton (HS) equations have an interpretation as geodesic flow equations on the group of diffeomorphisms, preserving the $H^1$ and $\dot{H}^1$ right-invariant metrics correspondingly. There is an analogy to…
We show that the motion on the n-dimensional ellipsoid is complete integrable by exhibiting n integrals in involution. The system is separable at classical and quantum level, the separation of classical variables being realized by the…
Axisymmetric and stationary solutions are constructed to the Einstein--Vlasov and Vlasov--Poisson systems. These solutions are constructed numerically, using finite element methods and a fixed-point iteration in which the total mass is…
Carnot groups are subRiemannian manifolds. As such they admit geodesic flows, which are left-invariant Hamiltonian flows on their cotangent bundles. Some of these flows are integrable. Some are not. The space of k-jets for real-valued…
We propose a new condition $\aleph$ which enables to get new results on integrable geodesic flows on closed surfaces. This paper has two parts. In the first, we strengthen Kozlov's theorem on non-integrability on surfaces of higher genus.…
Many PDEs (Burgers' equation, KdV, Camassa-Holm, Euler's fluid equations,...) can be formulated as infinite-dimensional Lie-Poisson systems. These are Hamiltonian systems on manifolds equipped with Poisson brackets. The Poisson structure is…
A new important relation between fluid mechanics and differential geometry is established. We study smooth steady solutions to the Euler equations with the additional property: the velocity vector is orthogonal to the gradient of the…

Isospectral flows are abundant in mathematical physics; the rigid body, the the Toda lattice, the Brockett flow, the Heisenberg spin chain, and point vortex dynamics, to mention but a few. Their connection on the one hand with integrable…
We employ the curve shortening flow to establish three new results on the dynamics of geodesic flows of closed Riemannian surfaces. The first one is the stability, under $C^0$-small perturbations of the Riemannian metric, of certain flat…
