Abelian varieties, surfaces of general type and integrable systems.
We consider a hamiltonian system which, in a special case and under the gauge group SU(2), can be considered as a reduction of the Yang-Mills field equations. We prove explicitly, using the Lax spectral curve technique and the van Moerbeke-Mumford method, that the flows generated by the constants of motion are straight lines on the Jacobi variety of a genus two Riemann surface.
