For completely integrable systems, finding the coordinates on the phase space in which the flows are particularly simple is a basic problem to solve. A moduli-theoretic description of the phase space of an integrable system in terms of spectral curves and line bundles serves as a way to tackle this problem. After reviewing the old work of David Ben-Zvi and Tom Nevins on the Calogero-Moser system, I will consider the analogous results for a closely related relativistic analogue of the CM system: the Ruijsenaars-Schneider system.

Finally, if time permits I will introduce a pair of problems that benefit from this perspective on the RS system: proving the 2D Toda-RS correspondence, and a new way of understanding the quantization of the RS system in terms of MacDonald difference operators
