Polynomial Lax representation of the Nahm equations
ID: polynomial-lax-representation-of-the-nahm-equations
Put , and , and defineDirect expansion gives . The Nahm equations imply , and , so . In any finite-dimensional matrix representation, cyclicity of the matrix trace givesThus every coefficient of the degree-at-most- matrix trace polynomial is conserved. At projective infinity the polynomial is interpreted as a section of , not a globally holomorphic scalar function on the complex projective line.
