Singular Manakov Flows and Geodesic Flows on Homogeneous Spaces

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

We prove complete integrability of the Manakov-type SO(n)-invariant geodesic flows on homogeneous spaces SO(n)/SO(k1)×...×SO(kr)SO(n)/SO(k_1)\times...\times SO(k_r), for any choice of k1,...,krk_1,...,k_r, k1+...+kr≤nk_1+...+k_r\le n. In particular, a new proof of the integrability of a Manakov symmetric rigid body motion around a fixed point is presented. Also, the proof of integrability of the SO(n)-invariant Einstein metrics on SO(k1+k2+k3)/SO(k1)×SO(k2)×SO(k3)SO(k_1+k_2+k_3)/SO(k_1)\times SO(k_2)\times SO(k_3) and on the Stiefel manifolds V(n,k)=SO(n)/SO(k)V(n,k)=SO(n)/SO(k) is given.
