On Grassmannian Description of the Constrained KP Hierarchy
This note develops an explicit construction of the constrained KP hierarchy within the Sato Grassmannian framework. Useful relations are established between the kernel elements of the underlying ordinary differential operator and the eigenfunctions of the associated KP hierarchy as well as between the related bilinear concomitant and the squared eigenfunction potential.
Integrable Extensions of N=2 Supersymmetric KdV Hierarchy Associated with the Nonuniqueness of the Roots of the Lax operator
We preesent a new supersymmetric integrable extensions of the a=4,N=2 KdV hierarchy. The root of the supersymmetric Lax operator of the KdV equation is generalized, by including additional fields. This generalized root generate new hierarchy of integrable equations, for which we investigate the hamiltonian structure. In special case our system describes the interaction of the KdV equation with the two MKdV equations.
Exact Kink Solitons in the Presence of Diffusion, Dispersion, and Polynomial Nonlinearity
We describe exact kink soliton solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations in the generic form u_{t} + P(u) u_{x} + \nu u_{xx} + \delta u_{xxx} = A(u), with polynomial functions P(u) and A(u) of u=u(x,t), whose generality allows the identification with a number of relevant equations in physics. We emphasize the study of chirality of the solutions, and its relation with diffusion, dispersion, and nonlinear effects, as well as its dependence on the parity of the polynomials $P(u)$ and $A(u)$ with respect to the discrete symmetry $u\to-u$. We analyze two types of kink soliton solutions, which are also solutions to 1+1 dimensional phi^{4} and phi^{6} field theories.
Multiplicity A_m Models
Models generalizing the su(2) XX spin-chain were recently introduced. These XXC models also have an underlying su(2) structure. Their construction method is shown to generalize to the chains based on the fundamental representations of the A_m Lie algebras. Integrability of the new models is shown in the context of the quantum inverse scattering method. Their R-matrix is found and shown to yield a representation of the Hecke algebra. The diagonalization of the transfer matrices is carried out using the algebraic Bethe Ansatz. I comment on eventual generalizations and possible links to reaction-diffusion processes.
From Ramond Fermions to Lame Equations for Orthogonal Curvilinear Coordinates
We show how Ramond free neutral Fermi fields lead to a $\tau$-function theory of BKP type which describes iso-orthogonal deformations of systems of ortogonal curvilinear coordinates. We also provide a vertex operator representation for the classical Ribaucour transformation.
Connection formulae for degenerated asymptotic solutions of the fourth Painleve equation
All possible 1-parametric classical and transcendent degenerated solutions of the fourth Painleve equation with the corresponding connection formulae of the asymptotic parameters are described.
On integrability of a (2+1)-dimensional perturbed Kdv equation
A (2+1)-dimensional perturbed KdV equation, recently introduced by W.X. Ma and B. Fuchssteiner, is proven to pass the Painlev\'e test for integrability well, and its 4$\times $4 Lax pair with two spectral parameters is found. The results show that the Painlev\'e classification of coupled KdV equations by A. Karasu should be revised.
Quantization of cohomology in semi-simple Lie algebras
The space of realizations of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra by first order differential operators is naturally isomorphic to H^1 with coefficients in the module of functions. The condition that a realization admits a finite-dimensional invariant subspace of functions seems to act as a kind of quantization condition on this H^1. It was known that this quantization of cohomology holds for all realizations on 2-dimensional homogeneous spaces, but the extent to which quantization of cohomology is true in general was an open question. The present article presents the first known counter-examples to quantization of cohomology; it is shown that quantization can fail even if the Lie algebra is semi-simple, and even if the homogeneous space in question is compact. A explanation for the quantization phenomenon is given in the case of semi-simple Lie algebras. It is shown that the set of classes in H^1 that admit finite-dimensional invariant subspaces is a semigroup that lies inside a finitely-generated abelian group. In order for this abelian group be a discrete subset of H^1, i.e. in order for quantization to take place, some extra conditions on the isotropy subalgebra are required. Two different instances of such necessary conditions are presented.
Singular sector of the KP hierarchy, $\bar{\partial}$-operators of non-zero index and associated integrable systems
Integrable hierarchies associated with the singular sector of the KP hierarchy, or equivalently, with $\dbar$-operators of non-zero index are studied. They arise as the restriction of the standard KP hierarchy to submanifols of finite codimension in the space of independent variables. For higher $\dbar$-index these hierarchies represent themselves families of multidimensional equations with multidimensional constraints. The $\dbar$-dressing method is used to construct these hierarchies. Hidden KdV, Boussinesq and hidden Gelfand-Dikii hierarchies are considered too.
Bihamiltonian Geometry, Darboux Coverings, and Linearization of the KP Hierarchy
We use ideas of the geometry of bihamiltonian manifolds, developed by Gel'fand and Zakharevich, to study the KP equations. In this approach they have the form of local conservation laws, and can be traded for a system of ordinary differential equations of Riccati type, which we call the Central System. We show that the latter can be linearized by means of a Darboux covering, and we use this procedure as an alternative technique to construct rational solutions of the KP equations.
Imprimitively generated Lie-algebraic Hamiltonians and separation of variables
Turbiner's conjecture posits that a Lie-algebraic Hamiltonian operator whose domain is a subset of the Euclidean plane admits a separation of variables. A proof of this conjecture is given in those cases where the generating Lie-algebra acts imprimitively. The general form of the conjecture is false. A counter-example is given based on the trigonometric Olshanetsky-Perelomov potential corresponding to the A_2 root system.
Pfaffian form of the Grammian determinant solutions of the BKP hierarchy
The Grammian determinant type solutions of the KP hierarchy, obtained through the vectorial binary Darboux transformation, are reduced, imposing suitable differential constraint on the transformation data, to Pfaffian solutions of the BKP hierarchy.
Pfaffian Solutions for the Manin-Radul-Mathieu SUSY KdV and SUSY sine-Gordon Equations
We reduce the vectorial binary Darboux transformation for the Manin-Radul supersymmetric KdV system in such a way that it preserves the Manin-Radul-Mathieu supersymmetric KdV equation reduction. Expressions in terms of bosonic Pfaffians are provided for transformed solutions and wave functions. We also consider the implications of these results for the supersymmetric sine-Gordon equation.
Initial boundary value problem on a half-line for the MKdV equation
Initial boundary value problem on a half-line for the Modified KdV equation is considered with the boundary conditions equal to zero at the origin and initial condition chosen arbitrary decreasing rapidly enough and this problem is plunged into the scheme of the inverse scattering method. Here the inverse scattering problem is reduced to the Riemann problem on a system of rays on the complex plane.
Phonon Scattering by Breathers in the Discrete Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation
Linear theory for phonon scattering by discrete breathers in the discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equation using the transfer matrix approach is presented. Transmission and reflection coefficients are obtained as a function of the wave vector of the input phonon. The occurrence of a nonzero transmission, which in fact becomes perfect for a symmetric breather, is shown to be connected with localized eigenmodes thresholds. In the weak-coupling limit, perfect reflection are shown to exist, which requires two scattering channels. A necessary condition for a system to have a perfect reflection is also considered in a general context.
M\"obius invariant integrable lattice equations associated with KP and 2DTL hierarchies
Integrable lattice equations arising in the context of singular manifold equations for scalar, multicomponent KP hierarchies and 2D Toda lattice hierarchy are considered. These equation generate the corresponding continuous hierarchy of singular manifold equations, its B\"acklund transformations and different forms of superposition principles. They possess rather special form of compatibility representation. The distinctive feature of these equations is invariance under the action of M\"obius transformation. Geometric interpretation of these discrete equations is given.
Geometric B\"acklund--Darboux transformations for the KP hierarchy
We shown that, if you have two planes in the Segal-Wilson Grassmannian that have an intersection of finite codimension, then the corresponding solutions of the KP hierarchy are linked by B\"acklund-Darboux transformations (BDT). The pseudodifferential operator that performs this transformation is shown to be built up in a geometric way from elementary BDT's and is given here in a closed form. The geometric description of elementary DBT's requires that one has a geometric interpretation of the dual wavefunctions involved. This is done here with the help of a suitable algebraic characterization of the wavefunction. The BDT's also induce transformations of the tau-function associated to a plane in the Grassmannian. For the Gelfand-Dickey hierarchies we derive a geometric characterization of the BDT'ss that preserves these subsystems of the KP hierarchy. This generalizes the classical Darboux-transformations. we also determine an explicit expression for the squared eigenfunction potentials. Next a connection is laid between the KP hierarchy and the 1-Toda lattice hierarchy. It is shown that infinite flags in the Grassmannian yield solutions of the latter hierarchy. these flags can be constructed by means of BDT's, starting from some plane. Other applications of these BDT's are a geometric way to characterize Wronskian solutions of the $m$-vector $k$-constrained KP hierarchy and the construction of a vast collection of orthogonal polynomials, playing a role in matrix models.
DNA Transcription Mechanism with a Moving Enzyme
Previous numerical investigations of an one-dimensional DNA model with an extended modified coupling constant by transcripting enzyme are integrated to longer time and demonstrated explicitly the trapping of breathers by DNA chains with realistic parameters obtained from experiments. Furthermore, collective coordinate method is used to explain a previously observed numerical evidence that breathers placed far from defects are difficult to trap, and the motional effect of RNA-polymerase is investigated.
Extending Hamiltonian Operators to Get Bi-Hamiltonian Coupled KdV Systems
An analysis of extension of Hamiltonian operators from lower order to higher order of matrix paves a way for constructing Hamiltonian pairs which may result in hereditary operators. Based on a specific choice of Hamiltonian operators of lower order, new local bi-Hamiltonian coupled KdV systems are proposed. As a consequence of bi-Hamiltonian structure, they all possess infinitely many symmetries and infinitely many conserved densities.
Schlesinger Transformations for Linearisable Equations
We introduce the Schlesinger transformations of the Gambier equation. The latter can be written, in both the continuous and discrete cases, as a system of two coupled Riccati equations in cascade involving an integer parameter n. In the continuous case the parameter appears explicitly in the equation while in the discrete case it corresponds to the number of steps for singularity confinement. Two Schlesinger transformations are obtained relating the solutions for some value $n$ to that corresponding to either n+1 or n+2.
Degenerate Frobenius manifolds and the bi-Hamiltonian structure of rational Lax equations
The bi-Hamiltonian structure of certain multi-component integrable systems, generalizations of the dispersionless Toda hierarchy, is studies for systems derived from a rational Lax function. One consequence of having a rational rather than a polynomial Lax function is that the corresponding bi-Hamiltonian structures are degenerate, i.e. the metric which defines the Hamiltonian structure has vanishing determinant. Frobenius manifolds provide a natural setting in which to study the bi-Hamiltonian structure of certain classes of hydrodynamic systems. Some ideas on how this structure may be extanded to include degenerate bi-Hamiltonian structures, such as those given in the first part of the paper, are given.
'Universality' of the Ablowitz-Ladik hierarchy
The aim of this paper is to summarize some recently obtained relations between the Ablowitz-Ladik hierarchy (ALH) and other integrable equations. It has been shown that solutions of finite subsystems of the ALH can be used to derive a wide range of solutions for, e.g., the 2D Toda lattice, nonlinear Schr\"odinger, Davey-Stewartson, Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) and some other equations. Similar approach has been used to construct new integrable models: O(3,1) and multi-field sigma models. Such 'universality' of the ALH becomes more transparent in the framework of the Hirota's bilinear method. The ALH, which is usually considered as an infinite set of differential-difference equations, has been presented as a finite system of functional-difference equations, which can be viewed as a generalization of the famous bilinear identities for the KP tau-functions.
Dubrovin equations and integrable systems on hyperelliptic curves
We introduce the most general version of Dubrovin-type equations for divisors on a hyperelliptic curve of arbitrary genus, and provide a new argument for linearizing the corresponding completely integrable flows. Detailed applications to completely integrable systems, including the KdV, AKNS, Toda, and the combined sine-Gordon and mKdV hierarchies, are made. These investigations uncover a new principle for 1+1-dimensional integrable soliton equations in the sense that the Dubrovin equations, combined with appropriate trace formulas, encode all hierarchies of soliton equations associated with hyperelliptic curves. In other words, completely integable hierarchies of soliton equations determine Dubrovin equations and associated trace formulas and, vice versa, Dubrovin-type equations combined with trace formulas permit the construction of hierarchies of soliton equations.
On the integrability of nonlinear partial differential equations
We investigate the integrability of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (NPDEs). The concepts are developed by firstly discussing the integrability of the KdV equation. We proceed by generalizing the ideas introduced for the KdV equation to other NPDEs. The method is based upon a linearization principle which can be applied on nonlinearities which have a polynomial form. We illustrate the potential of the method by finding solutions of the (coupled) nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation and the Manakov equation which play an important role in optical fiber communication. Finally, it is shown that the method can also be generalized to higher-dimensions.
Separation of Variables in the Elliptic Gaudin Model
For the elliptic Gaudin model (a degenerate case of XYZ integrable spin chain) a separation of variables is constructed in the classical case. The corresponding separated coordinates are obtained as the poles of a suitably normalized Baker-Akhiezer function. The classical results are generalized to the quantum case where the kernel of separating integral operator is constructed. The simplest one-degree-of-freedom case is studied in detail.
Non-classical symmetries and the singular manifold method: A further two examples
This paper discusses two equations with the conditional Painleve property. The usefulness of the singular manifold method as a tool for determining the non-classical symmetries that reduce the equations to ordinary differential equations with the Painleve property is confirmed once more
An Approach to Master Symmetries of Lattice Equations
An approach to master symmetries of lattice equations is proposed by the use of discrete zero curvature equation. Its key is to generate non-isospectral flows from the discrete spectral problem associated with a given lattice equation. A Volterra-type lattice hierarchy and the Toda lattice hierarchy are analyzed as two illustrative examples.
$A_n^{(1)}$ Toda Solitons: a Relation between Dressing transformations and Vertex Operators
Affine Toda equations based on simple Lie algebras arise by imposing zero curvature condition on a Lax connection which belongs to the corresponding loop Lie algebra in the principal gradation. In the particular case of $A_n^{(1)}$ Toda models, we exploit the symmetry of the underlying linear problem to calculate the dressing group element which generates arbitrary $N$-soliton solution from the vacuum. Starting from this result we recover the vertex operator representation of the soliton tau functions.
Polynomial rings of the chiral $SU(N)_{2}$ models
Via explicit diagonalization of the chiral $SU(N)_{2}$ fusion matrices, we discuss the possibility of representing the fusion ring of the chiral SU(N) models, at level K=2, by a polynomial ring in a single variable when $N$ is odd and by a polynomial ring in two variables when $N$ is even.
From One-Component KP Hierarchy to Two-Component KP Hierarchy and Back
We show that the system of the standard one-component KP hierarchy endowed with a special infinite set of abelian additional symmetries, generated by squared eigenfunction potentials, is equivalent to the two-component KP hierarchy.
Berezinian Construction of Super-Solitons in Supersymmetric Constrained KP Hierarchies
We consider a broad class of consistently reduced Manin-Radul supersymmetric KP hierarchies (MR-SKP) which are supersymmetric analogs of the ordinary bosonic constrained KP models. Compatibility of these reductions with the MR fermionic isospectral flows is achieved via appropriate modification of the latter preserving their (anti-)commutation algebra. Unlike the general unconstrained MR-SKP case, Darboux-Backlund transformations do preserve the fermionic isospectral flows of the reduced MR-SKP hierarchies. This allows for a systematic derivation of explicit Berezinian solutions for the super-tau-functions (super-solitons) for these models.
Relationship Between the Energy Eigenstates of Calogero-Sutherland Models With Oscillator and Coulomb-like Potentials
We establish a simple algebraic relationship between the energy eigenstates of the rational Calogero-Sutherland model with harmonic oscillator and Coulomb-like potentials. We show that there is an underlying SU(1,1) algebra in both of these models which plays a crucial role in such an identification. Further, we show that our analysis is in fact valid for any many-particle system in arbitrary dimensions whose potential term (apart from the oscillator or the Coulomb-like potential) is a homogeneous function of coordinates of degree -2. The explicit coordinate transformation which maps the Coulomb-like problem to the oscillator one has also been determined in some specific cases.
Darboux transformations for twisted so(p,q) system and local isometric immersion of space forms
For the n-dimensional integrable system with a twisted so(p,q) reduction, Darboux transformations given by Darboux matrices of degree 2 are constructed explicitly. These Darboux transformations are applied to the local isometric immersion of space forms with flat normal bundle and linearly independent curvature normals to give the explicit expression of the position vector. Some examples are given from the trivial solutions and standard imbedding T^n\to R^{2n}.
Equations of Geodesic Deviation and the Inverse Scattering Transform
Solutions of equations of geodesic deviation in three- and four- dimensional spaces obtained by the inverse scattering transform are considered. It is shown that in the case of three-dimensional space solutions of geodesic deviation equations are reduced to solutions of the well-known Zakharov-Shabat problem. In four- dimensional space system of geodesic deviation equations is associated with $3\times 3$ matrix Schr\"{o}dinger equation, and dependence on parameters defined by the nonlinear equations of three-wave interaction.
The construction of Frobenius manifolds from KP tau-functions
Frobenius manifolds (solutions of WDVV equations) in canonical coordinates are determined by the system of Darboux-Egoroff equations. This system of partial differential equations appears as a specific subset of the $n$-component KP hierarchy. KP representation theory and the related Sato infinite Grassmannian are used to construct solutions of this Darboux-Egoroff system and the related Frobenius manifolds. Finally we show that for these solutions Dubrovin's isomonodromy tau-function can be expressed in the KP tau-function.
Finite gap integration of a discrete Euler top
In [1] new discretizations of the Euler top have been found. They can be discribed with a Lax pair with a spectral parameter on an elliptic curve. This is used in this paper to perform a finite gap integration.
Binary Nonlinearization of AKNS Spectral Problem under Higher-Order Symmetry Constraints
Binary nonlinearization of AKNS spectral problem is extended to the cases of higher-order symmetry constraints. The Hamiltonian structures, Lax representations, $r$-matrices and integrals of motion in involution are explicitly proposed for the resulting constrained systems in the cases of the first four orders. The obtained integrals of motion are proved to be functionally independent and thus the constrained systems are completely integrable in the Liouville sense.
Localized solitons of hyperbolic su(N) AKNS system
Using the nonlinear constraint and Darboux transformation methods, the (m_1,...,m_N) localized solitons of the hyperbolic su(N) AKNS system are constructed. Here "hyperbolic su(N)" means that the first part of the Lax pair is F_y=JF_x+U(x,y,t)F where J is constant real diagonal and U^*=-U. When different solitons move in different velocities, each component U_{ij} of the solution U has at most m_i m_j peaks as t tends to infinity. This corresponds to the (M,N) solitons for the DSI equation. When all the solitons move in the same velocity, U_{ij} still has at most m_i m_j peaks if the phase differences are large enough.
On The KMS Condition for the critical Ising model
Using the KMS condition and exchange algebras we discuss the monodromy and modular properties of two-point KMS states of the critical Ising model.
On fusion algebra of chiral $SU(N)_{k}$ models
We discuss some algebraic setting of chiral $SU(N)_{k}$ models in terms of the statistical dimensions of their fields. In particular, the conformal dimensions and the central charge of the chiral $SU(N)_{k}$ models are calculated from their braid matrices. Futhermore, at level K=2, we present the characteristic polynomials of their fusion matrices in a factored form.
Inversion of the linearized Korteweg-deVries equation at the multi-soliton solutions
Uniform estimates for the decay structure of the $n$-soliton solution of the Korteweg-deVries equation are obtained. The KdV equation, linearized at the $n$-soliton solution is investigated in a class $\WW$ consisting of sums of travelling waves plus an exponentially decaying residual term. An analog of the kernel of the time-independent equation is proposed, leading to solvability conditions on the inhomogeneous term. Estimates on the inversion of the linearized KdV equation at the $n$-soliton are obtained.
On the Solution of a Painlev\'e III Equation
In a 1977 paper of McCoy, Tracy and Wu there appeared for the first time the solution of a Painlev\'e equation in terms of Fredholm determinants of integral operators. This equation is $\psi''(t)+t^{-1}\psi'(t)=(1/2) \sinh 2\psi+2\alpha t^{-1} \sinh\psi$, a special case of the Painlev\'e III equation. The proof in the cited paper is complicated, and the purpose of this note is to give a more straightforward one. First we give an equivalent formulation of the solution in terms of the kernel ${e^{-t (x+x^{-1})/2}\over x+y}\Big|{x-1\over x+1}\Big|^{2\alpha}$. There are already in the literature relatively simple proofs of the fact that when $\alpha=0$ Fredholm determinants of this kernel give solutions to the equation. We extend this result here to general $\alpha$.
Legendre transformations on the triangular lattice
The main purpose of the paper is to demonstrate that condition of invariance with respect to the Legendre transformations allows effectively isolate the class of integrable difference equations on the triangular lattice, which can be considered as discrete analogues of relativistic Toda type lattices. Some of obtained equations are new, up to the author knowledge. As an example, one of them is studied in more details, in particular, its higher continuous symmetries and zero curvature representation are found.
On Some One-Parameter Families of Three-Body Problems in One Dimension: Exchange Operator Formalism in Polar Coordinates and Scattering Properties
We apply the exchange operator formalism in polar coordinates to a one-parameter family of three-body problems in one dimension and prove the integrability of the model both with and without the oscillator potential. We also present exact scattering solution of a new family of three-body problems in one dimension.
On Explicit Parametrisation of Spectral Curves for Moser-Calogero Particles and its Applications
The system of $N$ classical particles on the line with the Weierstrass $\wp$ function as potential is known to be completely integrable. Recently D'Hoker and Phong found a beautiful parameterization by the polynomial of degree $N$ of the space of Riemann surfaces associated with this system. In the trigonometric limit of the elliptic potential these Riemann surfaces degenerate into rational curves. The D'Hoker-Phong polynomial in the limit describes the intersection points of the rational curves. We found an explicit determinant representation of the polynomial in the trigonometric case. We consider applications of this result to the theory of Toeplitz determinants and to geometry of the spectral curves. We also prove our earlier conjecture on the asymptotic behavior of the ratio of two symplectic volumes when the number of particles tends to infinity.
Hypercomplex Integrable Systems
In this paper we study hypercomplex manifolds in four dimensions. Rather than using an approach based on differential forms, we develop a dual approach using vector fields. The condition on these vector fields may then be interpreted as Lax equations, exhibiting the integrability properties of such manifolds. A number of different field equations for such hypercomplex manifolds are derived, one of which is in Cauchy-Kovaleskaya form which enables a formal general solution to be given. Various other properties of the field equations and their solutions are studied, such as their symmetry properties and the associated hierarchy of conservation laws.
Bethe ansatz solution of a closed spin 1 XXZ Heisenberg chain with quantum algebra symmetry
A quantum algebra invariant integrable closed spin 1 chain is introduced and analysed in detail. The Bethe ansatz equations as well as the energy eigenvalues of the model are obtained. The highest weight property of the Bethe vectors with respect to U_q(sl(2)) is proved.
A Bethe ansatz solution for the closed $U_{q}[sl(2)]$ Temperley-Lieb quantum spin chains
We solve the spectrum pf the closed Temperley-Lieb quantum spin chains using the coordinate Bethe ansatz. These Hamiltonians are invariante under the quantum group $U_{q}[sl(2)]$
Osp(1|2) Off-shell Bethe Ansatz Equations
The semiclassical limit of the algebraic quantum inverse scattering method is used to solve the theory of the Gaudin model. Via Off-shell Bethe ansatz equations of an integrable representation of the graded osp(1|2) vertex model we find the spectrum of N-1 independent Hamiltonians of Gaudin. Integral representations of the N-point correlators are presented as solutions of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation. These results are extended for highest representations of the osp(1|2) Gaudin algebra.
Algebro-Geometric Solutions of the Boussinesq Hierarchy
We continue a recently developed systematic approach to the Bousinesq (Bsq) hierarchy and its algebro-geometric solutions. Our formalism includes a recursive construction of Lax pairs and establishes associated Burchnall-Chaundy curves, Baker-Akhiezer functions and Dubrovin-type equations for analogs of Dirichlet and Neumann divisors. The principal aim of this paper is a detailed theta function representation of all algebro-geometric quasi-periodic solutions and related quantities of the Bsq hierarchy.
Elliptic Algebro-Geometric Solutions of the KdV and AKNS Hierarchies - An Analytic Approach
We provide an overview of elliptic algebro-geometric solutions of the KdV and AKNS hierarchies, with special emphasis on Floquet theoretic and spectral theoretic methods. Our treatment includes an effective characterization of all stationary elliptic KdV and AKNS solutions based on a theory developed by Hermite and Picard.
From 2D Integrable Systems to Self-Dual Gravity
We explain how to construct solutions to the self-dual Einstein vacuum equations from solutions of various two-dimensional integrable systems by exploiting the fact that the Lax formulations of both systems can be embedded in that of the self-dual Yang--Mills equations. We illustrate this by constructing explicit self-dual vacuum metrics on $\R^2\times \Sigma$, where $\Sigma$ is a homogeneous space for a real subgroup of $SL(2, \C)$ associated with the two-dimensional system.
A comparison of two discrete mKdV equations
We consider here two discrete versions of the modified KdV equation. In one case, some solitary wave solutions, B\"acklund transformations and integrals of motion are known. In the other one, only solitary wave solutions were given, and we supply the corresponding results for this equation. We also derive the integrability of the second equation and give a transformation which links the two models.
Linear r-Matrix Algebra for a Hierarchy of One-Dimensional Particle Systems Separable in Parabolic Coordinates
We consider a hierarchy of many-particle systems on the line with polynomial potentials separable in parabolic coordinates. The first non-trivial member of this hierarchy is a generalization of an integrable case of the H\'enon-Heiles system. We give a Lax representation in terms of $2\times 2$ matrices for the whole hierarchy and construct the associated linear r-matrix algebra with the r-matrix dependent on the dynamical variables. A Yang-Baxter equation of dynamical type is proposed. Classical integration in a particular case is carried out and quantization of the system is discussed with the help of separation variables. This paper was published in the rary issues: Sfb 288 Preprint No. 110, Berlin and Nonlinear Mathematical Physics, {\bf 1(3)}, 275-294 (1994)
Algebraic Structure of Discrete Zero Curvature Equations and Master Symmetries of Discrete Evolution Equations
An algebraic structure related to discrete zero curvature equations is established. It is used to give an approach for generating master symmetries of first degree for systems of discrete evolution equations and an answer to why there exist such master symmetries. The key of the theory is to generate nonisospectral flows $(\lambda_t=\lambda ^l, l\ge0)$ from the discrete spectral problem associated with a given system of discrete evolution equations. Three examples are given.
Symmetries and exact solutions of some integrable Haldane-Shastry like spin chains
By using a class of `anyon like' representations of permutation algebra, which pick up nontrivial phase factors while interchanging the spins of two lattice sites, we construct some integrable variants of $SU(M)$ Haldane-Shastry (HS) spin chain. Lax pairs and conserved quantities for these spin chains are also found and it is established that these models exhibit multi-parameter deformed or nonstandard variants of $Y(gl_M)$ Yangian symmetry. Moreover, by projecting the eigenstates of Dunkl operators in a suitable way, we derive a class of exact eigenfunctions for such HS like spin chain and subsequently conjecture that these exact eigenfunctions would lead to the highest weight states associated with a multi-parameter deformed or nonstandard variant of $Y(gl_M)$ Yangian algebra. By using this conjecture, and acting descendent operator on the highest weight states associated with a nonstandard $Y(gl_2)$ Yangian algebra, we are able to find out the complete set of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for the related HS like spin-${1\over 2}$ chain. It turns out that some additional energy levels, which are forbidden due to a selection rule in the case of SU(2) HS model, interestingly appear in the spectrum of above mentioned HS like spin chain having nonstandard $Y(gl_2)$ Yangian symmetry.
The Generalised mKdV Equations for Level -3 of $\hat{sl}_2$
A certain generalisation of the hierarchy of mKdV equations (modified KdV), which forms an integrable system, is studied here. This generalisation is based on a Lax operator associated to the equations, with principal components of degrees between -3 and 0. The results are the following ones: 1) an isomorphism between the space of jets of the system and a quotient of ${Sl}_2({\CC}((t)))$; 2) the fact that the monodromy matrixes of the Lax operators have, morover, Poisson brackets given by the trigonometric r-matrix; 3) a definition of the action of screening operators on the densities; 4) an identification of the intersection of the kernel with the integrals of motion.
The complex geometry of Lagrange top
We prove that the heavy symmetric top (Lagrange, 1788) linearizes on a two-dimensional non-compact algebraic group -- the generalized Jacobian of an elliptic curve with two points identified. This leads to a transparent description of its complex and real invariant level sets. We also deduce, by making use of a Baker-Akhiezer function, simple explicit formulae for the general solution of Lagrange top.
Lax Pairs for Integrable Lattice Systems
This paper studies the structure of Lax pairs associated with integrable lattice systems (where space is a one-dimensional lattice, and time is continuous). It describes a procedure for generating examples of such systems, and emphasizes the features that are needed to obtain equations which are local on the spatial lattice.
A Bilinear Approach to Discrete Miura Transformations
We present a systematic approach to the construction of Miura transformations for discrete Painlev\'e equations. Our method is based on the bilinear formalism and we start with the expression of the nonlinear discrete equation in terms of $\tau$-functions. Elimination of $\tau$-functions from the resulting system leads to another nonlinear equation, which is a ``modified'' version of the original equation. The procedure therefore yields Miura transformations. In this letter, we illustrate this approach by reproducing previously known Miura transformations and constructing new ones.
Generalized Jacobians of spectral curves and completely integrable systems
Consider an ordinary differential equation which has a Lax pair representation A'(x)= [A(x),B(x)], where A(x) is a matrix polynomial with a fixed regular leading coefficient and the matrix B(x) depends only onA(x). Such an equation can be considered as a completely integrable complex Hamiltonian system. We show that the generic complex invariant manifold {A(x): det(A(x)-y I)= P(x,y)} of this Lax pair is an affine part of a non-compact commutative algebraic group---the generalized Jacobian of the spectral curve {(x,y): P(x,y)=0} with its points at "infinity" identified. Moreover, for suitable B(x), the Hamiltonian vector field defined by the Lax pairon the generalized Jacobian is translation--invariant. We provide two examples in which the above result applies.
Integrable open boundary conditions for XXC models
The XXC models are multistate generalizations of the well known spin 1/2 XXZ model. These integrable models share a common underlying su(2) structure. We derive integrable open boundary conditions for the hierarchy of conserved quantities of the XXC models . Due to lack of crossing unitarity of the R-matrix, we develop specific methods to prove integrability. The symmetry of the spectrum is determined.
Tau-function for discrete sine-Gordon equation and quantum R-matrix
We prove that the tau-function of the integrable discrete sine-Gordon model apart from the "standard" bilinar identities obeys a number of "non-standard" ones. They can be combined into a bivector 3-dimensional difference equation which is shown to contain Hirota's difference analogue of the sine-Gordon equation and both auxiliary linear problems for it. We observe that this equation is most naturally written in terms of the quantum R-matrix for the XXZ spin chain and looks then like a relation of the "vertex-face correspondence" type.
Zeros of the Jimbo, Miwa, Ueno tau function
We introduce a family of local deformations for meromorphic connections on the Riemann sphere in the neighborhood of a higher rank (simple) singularity. Following a scheme introduced by Malgrange we use these local models to prove that the zeros of the tau function introduced by Jimbo, Miwa and Ueno occur precisely at those points in the deformation space at which a certain Birkhoff-Riemann- Hilbert problem fails to have a solution.
Long range interaction corrections on the quantum vibronic soliton
Self-localized modes in a quantum vibronic system, with long range interaction of Kac-Baker type and interacting nonlinearly with an acoustical phonon bath, is studied. One works in the coherent state approximation. Following a procedure of Sarker and Krumhansl, the problem is reduced to a nearest neighbours one. In the continuum limit the localized state satisfy a mKdV equation. An approximate expression for its frequency is found.
Classical Integrable 2-dim Models Inspired by SUSY Quantum Mechanics
A class of integrable 2-dim classical systems with integrals of motion of fourth order in momenta is obtained from the quantum analogues with the help of deformed SUSY algebra. With similar technique a new class of potentials connected with Lax method is found which provides the integrability of corresponding 2-dim hamiltonian systems. In addition, some integrable 2-dim systems with potentials expressed in elliptic functions are explored.
Quelques applications de l'Ansatz de Bethe (Some applications of the Bethe Ansatz)
The Bethe Ansatz is a method that is used in quantum integrable models in order to solve them explicitly. This method is explained here in a general framework, which applies to 1D quantum spin chains, 2D statistical lattice models (vertex models) and relativistic field theories with 1 space dimension and 1 time dimension. The connection with quantum groups is expounded. Several applications are then presented. Finite size corrections are calculated via two methods: The Non-Linear Integral Equations, which are applied to the study of the states of the affine Toda model with imaginary coupling, and their interpolation between the high energy (ultra-violet) and low energy (infra-red) regions; and the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz Equations, along with the associated Fusion Equations, which are used to determine the thermodynamic properties of the generalized multi-channel Kondo model. The latter is then studied in more detail, still using the Bethe Ansatz and quantum groups, so as to characterize the spectrum of the low energy excitations.

The paper is withdrawn due to an error in Section 3.2. The remaining of the results are included in the preprint solv-int/9605004.
Fermionic flows and tau function of the N=(1|1) superconformal Toda lattice hierarchy
An infinite class of fermionic flows of the N=(1|1) superconformal Toda lattice hierarchy is constructed and their algebraic structure is studied. We completely solve the semi-infinite N=(1|1) Toda lattice and chain hierarchies and derive their tau functions, which may be relevant for building supersymmetric matrix models. Their bosonic limit is also discussed.
Pseudo-orthogonal groups and integrable dynamical systems in two dimensions
Integrable systems in low dimensions, constructed through the symmetry reduction method, are studied using phase portrait and variable separation techniques. In particular, invariant quantities and explicit periodic solutions are determined. Widely applied models in Physics are shown to appear as particular cases of the method.
Lax pair tensors in arbitrary dimensions
A recipe is presented for obtaining Lax tensors for any n-dimensional Hamiltonian system admitting a Lax representation of dimension n. Our approach is to use the Jacobi geometry and coupling-constant metamorphosis to obtain a geometric Lax formulation. We also exploit the results to construct integrable spacetimes, satisfying the weak energy condition.
Generating Quadrilateral and Circular Lattices in KP Theory
The bilinear equations of the $N$-component KP and BKP hierarchies and a corresponding extended Miwa transformation allow us to generate quadrilateral and circular lattices from conjugate and orthogonal nets, respectively. The main geometrical objects are expressed in terms of Baker functions.
Stochastic Soliton Lattices
We introduce a new concept, Stochastic Soliton Lattice, as a random process generated by a finite-gap potential of the Shroedinger operator. We study the basic properties of this stochastic process and consider its KdV evolution
On Discretizations of the Vector Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation
Two discretizations of the vector nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation are studied. One of these discretizations, referred to as the symmetric system, is a natural vector extension of the scalar integrable discrete NLS equation. The other discretization, referred to as the asymmetric system, has an associated linear scattering pair. General formulae for soliton solutions of the asymmetric system are presented. Formulae for a constrained class of solutions of the symmetric system may be obtained. Numerical studies support the hypothesis that the symmetric system has general soliton solutions.
The Lax operators $\cal L$ of the Benney type equations bound with the circle
The Lax operators of the Benney type equations are studied on the circle. The vectors fields of the Lax operators are showed to commute with each other
Asymptotics of the Fredholm determinant associated with the correlation functions of the quantum Nonlinear Schrodinger equation
The correlation functions of the quantum nonlinear Schrodinger equation can be presented in terms of a Fredholm determinant. The explicit expression for this determinant is found for the large time and long distance.
Algebraic Exact Solvability of trigonometric-type Hamiltonians associated to root systems
In this article, we study and settle several structural questions concerning the exact solvability of the Olshanetsky-Perelomov quantum Hamiltonians corresponding to an arbitrary root system. We show that these operators can be written as linear combinations of certain basic operators admitting infinite flags of invariant subspaces, namely the Laplacian and the logarithmic gradient of invariant factors of the Weyl denominator. The coefficients of the constituent linear combination become the coupling constants of the final model. We also demonstr ate the $L^2$ completeness of the eigenfunctions obtained by this procedure, and describe a straight-forward recursive procedure based on the Freudenthal multiplicity formula for constructing the eigenfunctions explicitly.
Discrete time Lagrangian mechanics on Lie groups, with an application to the Lagrange top
We develop the theory of discrete time Lagrangian mechanics on Lie groups, originated in the work of Veselov and Moser, and the theory of Lagrangian reduction in the discrete time setting. The results thus obtained are applied to the investigation of an integrable time discretization of a famous integrable system of classical mechanics, -- the Lagrange top. We recall the derivation of the Euler--Poinsot equations of motion both in the frame moving with the body and in the rest frame (the latter ones being less widely known). We find a discrete time Lagrange function turning into the known continuous time Lagrangian in the continuous limit, and elaborate both descriptions of the resulting discrete time system, namely in the body frame and in the rest frame. This system naturally inherits Poisson properties of the continuous time system, the integrals of motion being deformed. The discrete time Lax representations are also found. Kirchhoff's kinetic analogy between elastic curves and motions of the Lagrange top is also generalised to the discrete context.
Exact Solutions of a (2+1)-Dimensional Nonlinear Klein-Gordon Equation
The purpose of this paper is to present a class of particular solutions of a C(2,1) conformally invariant nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation by symmetry reduction. Using the subgroups of similitude group reduced ordinary differential equations of second order and their solutions by a singularity analysis are classified. In particular, it has been shown that whenever they have the Painlev\'e property, they can be transformed to standard forms by Moebius transformations of dependent variable and arbitrary smooth transformations of independent variable whose solutions, depending on the values of parameters, are expressible in terms of either elementary functions or Jacobi elliptic functions.
On Integrability and Chaos in Discrete Systems
The scalar nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation and a suitable discretization are well known integrable systems which exhibit the phenomena of ``effective'' chaos. Vector generalizations of both the continuous and discrete system are discussed. Some attention is directed upon the issue of the integrability of a discrete version of the vector NLS equation.
Hirota bilinear forms with 2-toroidal symmetry
In this note, we compute Hirota bilinear forms arising from both homogeneous and principal realization of vertex representations of 2-toroidal Lie algebras of type $A_l, D_l, E_l$.
Bethe ansatz solution of the anisotropic correlated electron model associated with the Temperley-Lieb algebra
A recently proposed strongly correlated electron system associated with the Temperley-Lieb algebra is solved by means of the coordinate Bethe ansatz for periodic and closed boundary conditions.
Quantum 2+1 evolution model
A quantum evolution model in 2+1 discrete space - time, connected with 3D fundamental map R, is investigated. Map R is derived as a map providing a zero curvature of a two dimensional lattice system called "the current system". In a special case of the local Weyl algebra for dynamical variables the map appears to be canonical one and it corresponds to known operator-valued R-matrix. The current system is a kind of the linear problem for 2+1 evolution model. A generating function for the integrals of motion for the evolution is derived with a help of the current system. The subject of the paper is rather new, and so the perspectives of further investigations are widely discussed.
On Darboux-B\"acklund Transformations for the Q-Deformed Korteweg-de Vries Hierarchy
We study Darboux-B\"acklund transformations (DBTs) for the $q$-deformed Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy by using the $q$-deformed pseudodifferential operators. We identify the elementary DBTs which are triggered by the gauge operators constructed from the (adjoint) wave functions of the hierarchy. Iterating these elementary DBTs we obtain not only $q$-deformed Wronskian-type but also binary-type representations of the tau-function to the hierarchy.
A unified treatment of cubic invariants at fixed and arbitrary energy
Cubic invariants for two-dimensional Hamiltonian systems are investigated using the Jacobi geometrization procedure. This approach allows for a unified treatment of invariants at both fixed and arbitrary energy. In the geometric picture the invariant generally corresponds to a third rank Killing tensor, whose existence at a fixed energy value forces the metric to satisfy a nonlinear integrability condition expressed in terms of a Kahler potential. Further conditions, leading to a system of equations which is overdetermined except for singular cases, are added when the energy is arbitrary. As solutions to these equations we obtain several new superintegrable cases in addition to the previously known cases. We also discover a superintegrable case where the cubic invariant is of a new type which can be represented by an energy dependent linear invariant. A complete list of all known systems which admit a cubic invariant at arbitrary energy is given.
Canonical variables for multiphase solutions of the KP equation
The KP equation has a large family of quasiperiodic multiphase solutions. These solutions can be expressed in terms of Riemann-theta functions. In this paper, a finite-dimensional canonical Hamiltonian system depending on a finite number of parameters is given for the description of each such solution. The Hamiltonian systems are completely integrable in the sense of Liouville. In effect, this provides a solution of the initial-value problem for the theta-function solutions. Some consequences of this approach are discussed.
On a class of dynamical systems both quasi-bi-Hamiltonian and bi-Hamiltonian
It is shown that a class of dynamical systems (encompassing the one recently considered by F. Calogero [J. Math. Phys. 37 (1996) 1735]) is both quasi-bi-Hamiltonian and bi-Hamiltonian. The first formulation entails the separability of these systems; the second one is obtained trough a non canonical map whose form is directly suggested by the associated Nijenhuis tensor.
Bi-Hamiltonian manifolds, quasi-bi-Hamiltonian systems and separation variables
We discuss from a bi-Hamiltonian point of view the Hamilton-Jacobi separability of a few dynamical systems. They are shown to admit, in their natural phase space, a quasi-bi-Hamiltonian formulation of Pfaffian type. This property allows us to straightforwardly recover a set of separation variables for the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi equation.
Spectral Difference Equations Satisfied by KP Soliton Wavefunctions
The Baker-Akhiezer (wave) functions corresponding to soliton solutions of the KP hierarchy are shown to satisfy eigenvalue equations for a commutative ring of translational operators in the spectral parameter. In the rational limit, these translational operators converge to the differential operators in the spectral parameter previously discussed as part of the theory of "bispectrality". Consequently, these translational operators can be seen as demonstrating a form of bispectrality for the non-rational solitons as well.
Q-deformed KP hierarchy: Its additional symmetries and infinitesimal B\"acklund transformations
We study the additional symmetries associated with the $q$-deformed Kadomtsev-Petviashvili ($q$-KP) hierarchy. After identifying the resolvent operator as the generator of the additional symmetries, the $q$-KP hierarchy can be consistently reduced to the so-called $q$-deformed constrained KP ($q$-cKP) hierarchy. We then show that the additional symmetries acting on the wave function can be viewed as infinitesimal B\"acklund transformations by acting the vertex operator on the tau-function of the $q$-KP hierarchy. This establishes the Adler-Shiota-van Moerbeke formula for the $q$-KP hierarchy.
Darboux Transformations and solutions for an equation in 2+1 dimensions
Painleve analysis and the singular manifold method are the tools used in this paper to perform a complete study of an equation in 2+1 dimensions. This procedure has allowed us to obtain the Lax pair, Darboux transformation and tau functions in such a way that a plethora of different solutions with solitonic behavior can be constructed iteratively
Two Integrable Systems Related to Hyperbolic Monopoles
Monopoles on hyperbolic 3-space were introduced by Atiyah in 1984. This article describes two integrable systems which are closely related to hyperbolic monopoles: a one-dimensional lattice equation (the Braam-Austin or discrete Nahm equation), and a soliton system in (2+1)-dimensional anti-deSitter space-time.
Integrable KdV Systems: Recursion Operators of Degree Four
The recursion operator and bi-Hamiltonian formulation of the Drinfeld- Sokolov system are given
B\"acklund transformations for the second Painlev\'e hierarchy: a modified truncation approach
The second Painlev\'e hierarchy is defined as the hierarchy of ordinary differential equations obtained by similarity reduction from the modified Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy. Its first member is the well-known second Painlev\'e equation, P2. In this paper we use this hierarchy in order to illustrate our application of the truncation procedure in Painlev\'e analysis to ordinary differential equations. We extend these techniques in order to derive auto-B\"acklund transformations for the second Painlev\'e hierarchy. We also derive a number of other B\"acklund transformations, including a B\"acklund transformation onto a hierarchy of P34 equations, and a little known B\"acklund transformation for P2 itself. We then use our results on B\"acklund transformations to obtain, for each member of the P2 hierarchy, a sequence of special integrals.
Nonlinear Evolution Equations Invariant Under Schroedinger Group in three-dimensional Space-time
A classification of all possible realizations of the Galilei, Galilei-similitude and Schroedinger Lie algebras in three-dimensional space-time in terms of vector fields under the action of the group of local diffeomorphisms of the space $\R^3\times\C$ is presented. Using this result a variety of general second order evolution equations invariant under the corresponding groups are constructed and their physical significance are discussed.
The supersymmetric Camassa-Holm equation and geodesic flow on the superconformal group
We study a family of fermionic extensions of the Camassa-Holm equation. Within this family we identify three interesting classes: (a) equations, which are inherently hamiltonian, describing geodesic flow with respect to an H^1 metric on the group of superconformal transformations in two dimensions, (b) equations which are hamiltonian with respect to a different hamiltonian structure and (c) supersymmetric flow equations. Classes (a) and (b) have no intersection, but the intersection of classes (a) and (c) gives a candidate for a new supersymmetric integrable system. We demonstrate the Painlev\'e property for some simple but nontrivial reductions of this system.
Duality between integrable Stackel systems
For the Stackel family of the integrable systems a non-canonical transformation of the time variable is considered. This transformation may be associated to the ambiguity of the Abel map on the corresponding hyperelliptic curve. For some Stackel's systems with two degrees of freedom the 2x2 Lax representations and the dynamical r-matrix algebras are constructed. As an examples the Henon-Heiles systems, integrable Holt potentials and the integrable deformations of the Kepler problem are discussed in detail.
Integrable boundary conditions for nonlinear lattices
Integrable boundary conditions in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions are discussed from the higher symmetries point of view. Boundary conditions consistent with the discrete Landau-Lifshitz model and infinite 2D Toda lattice are represented.
The Coupled Modified Korteweg-de Vries Equations
Generalization of the modified KdV equation to a multi-component system, that is expressed by $(\partial u_i)/(\partial t) + 6 (\sum_{j,k=0}^{M-1} C_{jk} u_j u_k) (\partial u_i)/(\partial x) + (\partial^3 u_{i})/(\partial x^3) = 0, i=0, 1, ..., M-1 $, is studied. We apply a new extended version of the inverse scattering method to this system. It is shown that this system has an infinite number of conservation laws and multi-soliton solutions. Further, the initial value problem of the model is solved.
On Calogero wave functions
Two properties of Calogero wave functions for rational Calogero models are studied: (i) the representation of the wave functions in terms of the exponential of Lassalle operators, (ii) the $sL(2,\rr)$ structure of the Calogero--Moser wave functions.
