In this paper we try to outline, in a simple and informal way, some of the deep links connecting the classical theory of separation of variables (of the Hamilton-Jacobi equations) and the geometry of bihamiltonian manifold. Our aim is to present a new "test of separability" for a special class of Hamiltonian integrable systems defined on bihamiltonian manifolds. This class contains the Gel'fand-Zakharevich systems, which play an important role in the theory of soliton equations.

Abstract
In this paper we try to outline, in a simple and informal way, some of the deep links connecting the classical theory of separation of variables (of the Hamilton-Jacobi equations) and the geometry of bihamiltonian manifold. Our aim is to present a new "test of separability" for a special class of Hamiltonian integrable systems defined on bihamiltonian manifolds. This class contains the Gel'fand-Zakharevich systems, which play an important role in the theory of soliton equations. This paper is a kind of introduction to a forthcoming paper of the same authors, to which we refer for more details, proofs, and referencesI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
