CALOGERO-MOSER AND TODA SYSTEMS FOR TWISTED AND UNTWISTED AFFINE LIE-ALGEBRAS

The elliptic Calogero-Moser Hamiltonian and Lax pair associated with a general simple Lie algebra G are shown to scale to the (affine) Toda Hamiltonian and Lax pair. The limit consists in taking the elliptic mo dulus tau and the Calogero-Moser couplings m to infinity, while keepin g fixed the combination M = m e(i pi delta tau) for some exponent delt a. Critical scaling limits arise when 1/delta equals the-Coxeter numbe r or the dual Coxeter number for the untwisted and twisted Calogero-Mo ser systems respectively; the limit consists then of the Toda system f or the affine Lie algebras G((1)) and (G((1)))(boolean OR). The limits of the untwisted or twisted Calogero-Moser system, for delta less tha n these critical values, but non-zero, consists of the ordinary Toda s ystem, while for delta = 0, it consists of the trigonometric Calogero- Moser systems for the algebras G and G(boolean OR) respectively.
