Abstract
This paper is a sequel to [Caine A., Pickrell D., Int. Math. Res. Not., to appear, arXiv:0710.4484], where we
studied the Hamiltonian systems which arise from the Evens-Lu
construction of homogeneous Poisson structures on both compact and
noncompact type symmetric spaces. In this paper we consider loop
space analogues. Many of the results extend in a
relatively routine way to the loop space setting, but new issues
emerge. The main point of this paper is to spell out the meaning
of the results, especially in the SU(2) case. Applications
include integral formulas and factorizations for Toeplitz
determinants.
Key words:
Poisson structure; loop space; symmetric space; Toeplitz determinant.
