They can be considered as a family of commuting time-dependent Hamiltonian systems on the direct product of $n$ copies of $m\\times m$ matrix algebras equipped with the standard linear Poisson bracket. In this paper we present a new canonical Hamiltonian formulation of the general Schlesinger equations $S_{(n,m)}$ for all $n$, $m$ and we compute the action of the symmetries of the Schlesinger equations in these coordinates.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2007-01-10T14:29:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "32G34", "34M55", "53D30" ], "keywords": [ "canonical structure", "symmetries", "standard linear poisson bracket", "commuting time-dependent hamiltonian systems", "general schlesinger equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 92, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math.....11261D" } } }
