Review: | ||
Many of the Perelomov's original papers are mostly appreciated for their timeliness and high scientific standards rather than accessibility. Somebody has to have told him: This time he decided to write a review-type commentary on the relevance of the Poisson structures for Hamiltonian systems and on the explicit integration of the classical equations of motion of the Calogero-Sutherland and Toda type in the more expanded form, more immediately accessible to non-specialists, using many examples and explicit illustrations. With the main attention constrained to the A-series (of cases characterized by the special unitary Lie algebra symmetry), the review might very well serve as an expository introduction to the reading of the original papers in their completeness and, in particular, to the detailed study of his famous book ``A. M. Perelomov, Integrable systems of classical mechanics and Lie algebras. I, Birkhaeuser, Basel, 1990". | ||
