Abstract

The pentagram map is a completely integrable system defined on the moduli space of polygons. The integrals for the system are certain weighted homogeneous polynomials, which come in pairs: E1,O2,E2,O2,... In this paper we prove that Ek = Ok for all k, when these integrals are restricted to the space of polygons which are inscribed in a conic section. Our proof is essentially a combinatorial analysis of the integrals.
