چکیده
In this paper we show that Poisson brackets linked to geometric flows of curves on flat Riemannian manifolds are Poisson reductions of the Kac–Moody bracket of SO(n). The bracket is reduced to submanifolds defined by either the Riemannian or the natural curvatures of the curves. We show that these two cases are (formally) Poisson equivalent and we give explicit conditions on the coefficients of the geometric flow guaranteeing that the induced flow on the curvatures is Hamiltonian.

Integrable Systems Associated to Curves in Flat Galilean and Lorentzian Manifolds
This article examines the relationship between geometric Poisson brackets and integrable systems in flat Galilean, and Lorentz manifolds. First, moving frames are used to calculate differential invariants of curves and to write invariant evolution equations. The moving frames are created to ensure that the Galilean moving frame is the limit of the Lorentz one as c → ∞. Then, associated integrab...
متن کاملOn Integrable Systems in 3-dimensional Riemannian Geometry
In this paper we introduce a new infinite dimensional pencil of Hamiltonian structures. These Poisson tensors appear naturally as the ones governing the evolution of the curvatures of certain flow of curves in three dimensional Riemannian manifolds with constant curvature. The curves themselves are evolving following arc-length preserving geometric evolutions for which the variation of the curv...
متن کاملOn Completely Integrable Geometric Evolutions of Curves of Lagrangian Planes
In this paper we find a explicit moving frame along curves of Lagrangian planes invariant under the action of the symplectic group. We use the moving frame to find a family of independent and generating differential invariants. We then construct geometric Hamiltonian structures in the space of differential invariants and prove that, if we restrict them to a certain Poisson submanifold, they bec...
متن کاملHamiltonian Evolutions of Curves in Classical Affine Geometries
In this paper we study geometric Poisson brackets and we show that, if M = (G n IRn)/G endowed with an affine geometry (in the Klein sense), and if G is a classical Lie group, then the geometric Poisson bracket for parametrized curves is a trivial extension of the one for unparametrized curves, except for the case G = GL(n, IR). This trivial extension does not exist in other nonaffine cases (pr...
متن کاملGeometric Hamiltonian Structures on Flat Semisimple Homogeneous Manifolds
In this paper we describe Poisson structures defined on the space of Serret-Frenet equations of curves in a flat homogeneous space G/H where G is semisimple. These structures are defined via Poisson reduction from Poisson brackets on Lg∗, the space of Loops in g∗. We also give conditions on invariant geometric evolution of curves in G/H which guarantee that the evolution induced on the differen...
