Abstract

We study holomorphic integrable systems on the hyperkähler manifold $G \times S_{\mathrm{reg}}$, where $G$ is a complex semisimple Lie group and $S_{\mathrm{reg}}$ is the Slodowy slice determined by a regular $\mathfrak{sl}_2 (\mathbb{C})$-triple. Our main result is that this manifold carries a canonical abstract integrable system, a foliation-theoretic notion recently introduced by Fernandes, Laurent–Gengoux, and Vanhaecke. We also construct traditional integrable systems on $G \times S_{\mathrm{reg}}$, some of which are completely integrable and fundamentally based on Mishchenko and Fomenko’s argument shift approach.
