We introduce a new integrable system hierarchy which is a restriction of the AKNS nxn hierarchy coming from an unusual splitting of the loop algebra. This splitting comes from an automorphism of the loop algebra instead of an automorphism of SL(n,C). It is known that the 2x2 KdV is the standard KdV hierarchy.

The $\hat B_n^{(1)}$-hierarchy is constructed from the standard splitting of the affine Kac-Moody algebra $\hat B_n^{(1)}$, the Drinfeld-Sokolov $\hat B_n^{(1)}$-KdV hierarchy is obtained by pushing down the $\hat B_n^{(1)}$-flows along certain gauge orbit to a cross section of the gauge action. In this paper, we (1) u…

We present some general results on properties of the bihamiltonian cohomologies associated to bihamiltonian structures of hydrodynamic type, and compute the third cohomology for the bihamiltonian structure of the dispersionless KdV hierarchy. The result of the computation enables us to prove the existence of bihamilton…

Super tau-covers extend bihamiltonian hierarchies' symmetries.

Proves existence and uniqueness of loop equation solutions for semisimple Frobenius manifolds.

This is the third in a series of papers attempting to describe a uniform geometric framework in which many integrable systems can be placed. A soliton hierarchy can be constructed from a splitting of an infinite dimensional group $L$ as positive and negative subgroups L_+, L_- and a commuting sequence in the Lie algebr…

Using spectral sequences techniques we compute the bihamiltonian cohomology groups of the pencil of Poisson brackets of dispersionless KdV hierarchy. In particular this proves a conjecture of Liu and Zhang about the vanishing of such cohomology groups.

Integrable flows on null curves in anti-de Sitter 3-space studied.

Using methods of math.DG/0304245 and [I.S.Krasil'shchik and P.H.M.Kersten, Symmetries and recursion operators for classical and supersymmetric differential equations, Kluwer, 2000], we accomplish an extensive study of the N=1 supersymmetric Korteweg-de Vries equation. The results include: a description of local and non…

We study the heat kernel asymptotics for the Laplace type differential operators on vector bundles over Riemannian manifolds. In particular this includes the case of the Laplacians acting on differential p-forms. We extend our results obtained earlier for the scalar Laplacian and present closed formulas for all heat in…

The local motion of a null curve in Minkowski 3-space induces an evolution equation for its Lorentz invariant curvature. Special motions are constructed whose induced evolution equations are the members of the KdV hierarchy. The null curves which move under the KdV flow without changing shape are proven to be the traje…

Constructs integrable hierarchies for generalized Frobenius manifolds with non-flat unity.

We investigate the deformation theory of the simplest bihamiltonian structure of hydrodynamic type, that of the dispersionless KdV hierarchy. We prove that all of its deformations are quasi-trivial in the sense of B. Dubrovin and Y. Zhang, that is, trivial after allowing transformations where the first partial derivati…

Quantization needs evaluation of all of states of a quantized object rather than its stationary states with respect to its energy. In this paper, we have investigated moduli $\CMeP$ of a quantized elastica, a quantized loop with an energy functional associated with the Schwarz derivative, on a Riemann sphere $\PP$. The…

We review progress on the generalized Witten conjecture and some of its major ingredients. This conjecture states that certain intersection numbers on the moduli space of higher spin curves assemble into the logarithm of the tau function of a semiclassical limit of the r-th Gelfand-Dickey (or KdV_r) hierarchy. Addition…

Study null curves and their motion in 3D flat space-time, leading to integrable hierarchies.

The manifold $\mathcal{M}$ of star-shaped curves in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is considered via the theory of connections on vector bundles, and cyclic $\mathcal{D}$-modules. The appropriate notion of an "integral curve" (i.e. certain admissible deformations) on $\mathcal{M}$ is defined, and the resulting space of admissible defo…

The paper explores geometric aspects of Miura transformations in integrable systems.

We prove the genus zero part of the generalized Witten conjecture relating moduli spaces of spin curves to Gelfand-Dickey hierarchies. That is, we show that intersection numbers on the moduli space of stable r-spin curves assemble into a generating function which yields a solution of the semiclassical limit of the KdV_…

We construct a local action of the group of rational maps from $S^2$ to $GL(n,C)$ on local solutions of flows of the ZS-AKNS $sl(n,C)$-hierarchy. We show that the actions of simple elements (linear fractional transformations) give local Bäcklund transformations, and we derive a permutability formula from different fact…

New integrable systems derived from Nijenhuis geometry.

The coupled KdV-mKdV system arises as the classical part of one of superextensions of the KdV equation. For this system, we prove its complete integrability, i.e., existence of a recursion operator and of infinite series of symmetries.

This paper goes some way in explaining how to construct an integrable hierarchy of flows on the space of conformally immersed tori in n-space. These flows have first occured in mathematical physics -- the Novikov-Veselov and Davey-Stewartson hierarchies -- as kernel dimension preserving deformations of the Dirac operat…

A tensorial approach to the theory of classical Hamiltonian integrable systems is proposed, based on the geometry of Haantjes tensors. We introduce the class of symplectic-Haantjes manifolds (or $ω\mathscr{H}$ manifolds), as a natural setting where the notion of integrability can be formulated. We prove that the existe…

We consider 2-surfaces arising from the Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation. The surfaces corresponding to KdV are in a three dimensional Minkowski space. They contain a family of quadratic Weingarten and Willmore-like surfaces. We show that a subset of KdV surfaces can be obtained from a variational principle where the L…

We construct explicit solutions to continuous motion of discrete plane curves described by a semi-discrete potential modified KdV equation. Explicit formulas in terms the $τ$ function are presented. Bäcklund transformations of the discrete curves are also discussed. We finally consider the continuous limit of discrete …

On base of three-dimensional flat metrics obtained with the help of solutions of the KdV-equation were constructed the examples of six-dimensional metrics, which are determined by the help of solutions of Krichever-Novikov and KdV. Their properties are discussed.

The paper explores continuous limits of pentagram maps and their relation to KdV equations.

We study the relation between the centro-affine geometry of star-shaped planar curves and the projective geometry of parametrized maps into $\RP^1$. We show that projectivization induces a map between differential invariants and a bi-Poisson map between Hamiltonian structures. We also show that a Hamiltonian evolution …

Geometric transformations on null curves in AdS induce KdV solutions.

The Virasoro-Bott group endowed with the right-invariant $L^2$-metric (which is a weak Riemannian metric) has the KdV-equation as geodesic equation. We prove that this metric space has vanishing geodesic distance.

The paper studies geometric Airy curve flows on R^n and their properties.

Solitary waves are localized gravity waves that preserve their consistency and henceforth their visibility through properties of nonlinear hydrodynamics. Solitary waves have finite amplitude and spread with constant speed and constant shape. In this paper, we have used Lie group of transformation method to solve (3 + 1…

The Cartan's method of equivalence and moving coframe method has been applied to solve the local equivalence problem for KDV-type equations under the action of a pseudo-group of contact transformations. The structure equations, the sets of differential invariants for symmetry groups and equivalent conditions of these e…

It is well-known that the LIE(Locally Induction Equation) admit soliton-type solutions and same soliton solutions arise from different and apparently irrelevant physical models. By comparing the solitons of LIE and Killing magnetic geodesics, we observe that these solitons are essentially decided by two families of iso…

Higher KdV flows on spaces of closed equicentroaffine plane curves are studied and it is shown that the flows are described as certain multi-Hamiltonian systems on the spaces. Multi-Hamiltonian systems describing higher mKdV flows are also given on spaces of closed Euclidean plane curves via the geometric Miura transfo…

The geodesic equation for the right invariant $L^2$-metric (which is a weak Riemannian metric) on each Virasoro-Bott group is equivalent to the KdV-equation. We prove that the corresponding energy functional, when restricted to paths with fixed endpoints, has no local minima. In particular solutions of KdV don't define…

We relate Miura type transformations (MTs) over an evolution system to its zero-curvature representations with values in Lie algebras g. We prove that certain homogeneous spaces of g produce MTs and show how to distinguish these spaces. For a scalar translation-invariant evolution equation this allows to classify all M…

Let $R^{n+1, n}$ be the vector space $R^{2n+1}$ equipped with the bilinear form $(X,Y)=X^t C_n Y$ of index $n$, where $C_n= \sum_{i=1}^{2n+1} (-1)^{n+i-1} e_{i, 2n+2-i}$. A smooth $γ: R\to R^{n+1,n}$ is {\it isotropic} if $γ, γ_x, \ldots, γ_x^{(2n)}$ are linearly independent and the span of $γ, \ldots, γ_x^{(n-1)}$ is …

Study applies inverse scattering to BKM systems, linking spectra and integrable systems.

Euler derived elastica equation using modern mathematical concepts.

An efficient method to construct Hamiltonian structures for nonlinear evolution equations is described. It is based on the notions of variational Schouten bracket and l*-covering. The latter serves the role of the cotangent bundle in the category of nonlinear evolution PDEs. We first consider two illustrative examples …

The Darboux-Egoroff system of PDEs with any number $n\ge 3$ of independent variables plays an essential role in the problems of describing $n$-dimensional flat diagonal metrics of Egoroff type and Frobenius manifolds. We construct a recursion operator and its inverse for symmetries of the Darboux-Egoroff system and des…

The paper generalizes Monge-Ampère equations and their solutions in differential geometry.

We sketch out a new geometric framework to construct Hamiltonian operators for generic, non-evolutionary partial differential equations. Examples on how the formalism works are provided for the KdV equation, Camassa-Holm equation, and Kupershmidt's deformation of a bi-Hamiltonian system.

In this paper we relate the geometric Poisson brackets on the Grassmannian of 2-planes in R^4 and on the (2,2) Moebius sphere. We show that, when written in terms of local moving frames, the geometric Poisson bracket on the Moebius sphere does not restrict to the space of differential invariants of Schwarzian type. But…
