Abstract
The Kahan discretization of the Lotka-Volterra system, associated with any skew-symmetric graph Γ, leads to a family of rational maps, parametrized by the step size. When these maps are Poisson maps with respect to the quadratic Poisson structure of the Lotka-Volterra system, we say that the graph Γ has the Kahan-Poisson property. We show that if Γ is connected, it has the Kahan-Poisson property if and only if it is a cloning of a graph with vertices \(1,2,\dots ,n\), with an arc i → j precisely when i < j, and with all arcs having the same value. We also prove a similar result for augmented graphs, which correspond with deformed Lotka-Volterra systems and show that the obtained Lotka-Volterra systems and their Kahan discretizations are superintegrable as well as Liouville integrable.
期刊介绍:
MPAG is a peer-reviewed journal organized in sections. Each section is editorially independent and provides a high forum for research articles in the respective areas.
The entire editorial board commits itself to combine the requirements of an accurate and fast refereeing process.
The section on Probability and Statistical Physics focuses on probabilistic models and spatial stochastic processes arising in statistical physics. Examples include: interacting particle systems, non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, integrable probability, random graphs and percolation, critical phenomena and conformal theories. Applications of probability theory and statistical physics to other areas of mathematics, such as analysis (stochastic pde''s), random geometry, combinatorial aspects are also addressed.
The section on Quantum Theory publishes research papers on developments in geometry, probability and analysis that are relevant to quantum theory. Topics that are covered in this section include: classical and algebraic quantum field theories, deformation and geometric quantisation, index theory, Lie algebras and Hopf algebras, non-commutative geometry, spectral theory for quantum systems, disordered quantum systems (Anderson localization, quantum diffusion), many-body quantum physics with applications to condensed matter theory, partial differential equations emerging from quantum theory, quantum lattice systems, topological phases of matter, equilibrium and non-equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics, multiscale analysis, rigorous renormalisation group.
