nLab Toda lattice

Overview

Toda lattice is a particular completely integrable system, a model of a 1-dimensional crystal. It can be generalized to general root systems. Integrability of Toda lattice has been shown in Flashka 1974 using an interpretation as a flow on the space of symmetric tridiagonal matrices.

Relation to other models

Toda lattice can be obtained by reduction from Wess-Zumino models.
