Abstract
Most of the work done in the past on the integrability
structure of the Classical Heisenberg Spin Chain (CHSC) has been
devoted to studying the su(2) case, both at the continuous and
at the discrete level. In this paper we address the problem of
constructing integrable generalized ''Spin Chains'' models, where
the relevant field variable is represented by a N × N
matrix whose eigenvalues are the Nth roots of unity. To
the best of our knowledge, such an extension has never been
systematically pursued. In this paper, at first we obtain the
continuous N × N generalization of the CHSC through the
reduction technique for Poisson-Nijenhuis manifolds, and exhibit
some explicit, and hopefully interesting, examples for 3 × 3
and 4 × 4 matrices; then, we discuss the much more
difficult discrete case, where a few partial new results are
derived and a conjecture is made for the general case.
Key words:
integrable systems; Heisenberg chain; Poisson-Nijenhuis manifolds; geometric reduction; R-matrix; modified Yang-Baxter.
