A note about integrable systems on low-dimensional Lie groups and Lie algebras Alexey V. Bolsinov Jinrong Bao 2134/38371 https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/journal_contribution/A_note_about_integrable_systems_on_low-dimensional_Lie_groups_and_Lie_algebras/9389150 The goal of the paper is to explain why any left-invariant Hamiltonian system on (the cotangent bundle of) a 3-dimensonal Lie group G is Liouville integrable. We derive this property from the fact that the coadjoint orbits of G are two-dimensional so that the integrability of left-invariant systems is a common property of all such groups regardless their dimension. We also give normal forms for left-invariant Riemannian and sub-Riemannian metrics on 3-dimensional Lie groups focusing on the case of solvable groups, as the cases of SO(3) and SL(2) have been already extensively studied. Our description is explicit and is given in global coordinates on G which allows one to easily obtain parametric equations of geodesics in quadratures. 2019-07-22 09:09:30 Integrable systems Lie groups Geodesic flow Left-invariant metric Sub-Riemannian structure Mathematical Sciences not elsewhere classified
