Discrete Geodesic Flows on Stiefel Manifolds
2020
We study integrable discretizations of geodesic flows of Euclidean metrics on the cotangent bundles of the Stiefel manifolds $$V_{n,r}$$
. In particular, for $$n=3$$
and $$r=2$$
, after the identification $$V_{3,2}\cong\mathrm{SO}(3)$$
, we obtain a discrete analog of the Euler case of the rigid body motion corresponding to the inertia operator $$I=(1,1,2)$$
. In addition, billiard-type mappings are considered; one of them turns out to be the “square root” of the discrete Neumann system on $$V_{n,r}$$
.
