The conditions

and the bidimension-
a~ity
of
the eigenspaces
of
T
was extracted
jkm
the e~tence
of
dynamics
with infinitely many degrees
of
freedom, admitting a
Lax
representation (see
Part
IV).
The fact that nonlinear fi~ld theories, inte~ble
~th
the inverse
scattering method show an endomorphism, invariant under the dynamics, with
van~h~~g ~~e~hu~s
tor~~on
and b~dime~iona~ inv~~ant eigenspa~s, s~ggested
that the analysis
of
the integrability
of
dynamical systems could be realized,
instead that
in
terms
of
a mixed tensor field
T,
rather than s~p~ectic struc-
ture
w.
The integrabi$i~y conditions
in
terms
of
symplectic structures
w
strictly de-
pend on the finite dimensionality
of
the space and cannot easily be extended to
the infinite-dimensional case. On the contrary, the integrability
in
terms
of
T
is expressed by conditions which do not depend on the finite number
of
degrees
of fieedom
of
the
dynamical system
A.
Remark
20
It
is worth remarking that the vector field
A
is
not taken to be
a
priori
a
~~mi~tonian vector field.
As
we shall see
in
Part IV, integ~bi~ity
of
dissipative dynamics can be put
in
the same setting
by
assuming diflerent
spectral hy~thesis for the tensor field

Let
us
now study the problem
of
constructing invariant mixed tensor fields,
with the appropriate properties (also called a
recursion operator),
for a given

A.
If
