Bi-Hamiltonian structure of spin Sutherland models: the holomorphic case

Abstract: We construct a bi-Hamiltonian structure for the holomorphic spin Sutherland hierarchy based on collective spin variables. The construction relies on Poisson reduction of a bi-Hamiltonian structure on the holomorphic cotangent bundle of GL(n,C), which itself arises from the canonical symplectic structure and the Poisson structure of the Heisenberg double of the standard GL(n,C) Poisson--Lie group. The previously obtained bi-Hamiltonian structures of the hyperbolic and trigonometric real forms are recovered on real slices of the holomorphic spin Sutherland model.
