This paper introduces a new class of Lie systems that are Hamiltonian relative to a $k$-contact manifold. We show that a recent distributional approach to $k$-contact manifolds along with a related $k$-contact Hamiltonian vector field…
A natural way of generalising Hamiltonian toric manifolds is to permit the presence of generic isolated singularities for the moment map. For a class of such ``almost-toric 4-manifolds'' which admits a Hamiltonian $S^1$-action we show that…
We introduce spin Calogero-Moser systems associated with root systems of simple Lie algebras and give the associated Lax representations (with spectral parameter) and fundamental Poisson bracket relations. Our analysis is based on a…
We give an exposition of how the Kauffman bracket arises for certain systems of anyons, and do so outside the usual arena of Temperley-Lieb-Jones categories. This is further elucidated through the discussion of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra and…
It is well known in general relativity that trajectories of Hamiltonian systems lift to geodesics of pp-wave spacetimes, an example of a more general phenomenon known as the "Eisenhart lift." We review and expand upon the benefits of this…
These are the notes for a Part III course given in the University of Cambridge in autumn 1998. They contain an exposition of the representation theory of the Lie algebras of compact matrix groups, affine Kac-Moody algebras and the Virasoro…
This is a companion to a recent investigation of K-theoretical invariants for symmetric spaces. We introduce a new class of cycles in K-groups, which are connected to elements of an underlying root lattice. This will be needed for a…
The dual space of the Cartan subalgebra in a Kac-Moody algebra has a partial ordering defined by the rule that two elements are related if and only if their difference is a non-negative or non-positive integer linear combination of simple…
There exist principal $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ subalgebras for hyperbolic Kac-Moody Lie algebras. In the case of rank 2 symmetric hyperbolic Kac-Moody Lie algebras, certain $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ subalgebras are constructed. These subalgebras are…
We give a combinatorial construction, not involving a presentation, of almost all untwisted affine Kac--Moody algebras modulo their one-dimensional centres in terms of signed raising and lowering operators on a certain distributive lattice…
A new approach to integrability of affine Toda field theories and closely related to them KdV hierarchies is proposed. The flows of a hierarchy are explicitly identified with infinitesimal action of the principal abelian subalgebra of the…
In this paper, we find a two-parameter family of coupled Painlev\'e systems in dimension four with affine Weyl group symmetry of type $D_3^{(2)}$. We also find a four-parameter family of 2-coupled $D_3^{(2)}$-systems in dimension eight with…
Recently, Iwahori-Hecke algebras were associated to Kac-Moody groups over non-Archimedean local fields. In a previous paper, we introduced principal series representations for these algebras and partially generalized Kato's irreducibility…
Two-component hyperbolic system of equations generated by ordinary differential Painlev\'e I \[ u_{yy}=6u^2+y \] and Painlev\'e III \[ yuu_{yy}=yu^2_{y}-uu_y+\delta y+\beta u+\alpha u^3 +\gamma yu^4 \] equations are considered, where…
We extend a conjugacy Theorem of Cartan subalgebras, originally established for symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebras, to the broader context of affine Kac-Moody superalgebras. Along the way, we obtain several results that deepen our…
The appearance of a generalized (or Borcherds-) Kac-Moody algebra in the spectrum of BPS dyons in N=4, d=4 string theory is elucidated. From the low-energy supergravity analysis, we identify its root lattice as the lattice of the T-duality…
Some new Hamiltonian systems of quasi-Painlev\'e type are presented and the analogue of Okamoto's space of initial conditions computed. Using the geometric approach that was introduced originally for the identification problem of Painlev\'e…
We provide evidence for the existence of a family of generalized Kac-Moody(GKM) superalgebras, G_N, whose Weyl-Kac-Borcherds denominator formula gives rise to a genus-two modular form at level N, Delta_{k/2}(Z), for (N,k)=(1,10), (2,6),…
For a generic Painlev\'e 5 equation we characterise all the asymptotics in a right half plane near the point at infinity, that is, we find classified explicit solutions that are, by the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence, labelled with…
We study a similarity reduction of the modified Yajima-Oikawa hierarchy. The hierarchy is associated with a non-standard Heisenberg subalgebra in the affine Lie algebra of type A_2^{(1)}. The system of equations for self-similar solutions…
