Double bracket flows, toda flows and rigid body toda

In this paper we consider certain gradient and Hamiltonian flows on adjoint orbits that generalize the Toda lattice flow. The Toda lattice can be shown to be a gradient flow on a suitable orbit. Here we discuss related gradient flows and consider the generalization of the Toda lattice flow to the Toda rigid body flow.
