Classifying the Metrics for Which Geodesic Flow on the Group $SO(n)$ is Algebraically Completely Integrable

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the rich interaction between the Kowalewski-Painlev\'{e} analysis, the properties of algebraic completely integrable (a.c.i.) systems, the geometry of its Laurent series solutions, and the theory of Abelian varieties. We study the classification of metrics for which geodesic flow on the group $SO(n)$ is a.c.i. For $n=3$, the geodesic flow on $SO(3)$ is always a.c.i., and can be regarded as the Euler rigid body motion. For $n=4$, in the Adler-van Moerbeke's classification of metrics for which geodesic flow on $SO(4)$ is a.c.i., three cases come up; two are linearly equivalent to the Clebsch and Lyapunov-Steklov cases of rigid body motion in a perfect fluid, and there is a third new case namely the Kostant-Kirillov Hamiltonian flow on the dual of $so(4)$. Finally, as was shown by Haine, for $n\geq 5$ Manakov's metrics are the only left invariant diagonal metrics on $SO(n)$ for which the geodesic flow is a.c.i.
