Polynomial Lax representation of the Nahm equations

ID: polynomial-lax-representation-of-the-nahm-equations

Put , and , and define
Direct expansion gives . The Nahm equations imply , and , so . In any finite-dimensional matrix representation, cyclicity of the matrix trace gives
Thus 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.
