The \textsc{ABC}-equation revisited: missed integrable cases. Part I: classification and (quasi) integrable structures

Abstract

We consider the \textsc{ABC}-equation $Au_xu_{yt} + Bu_yu_{xt} + Cu_tu_{xy} = 0$, $A$, $B$, $C\in\mathbb{R}$, which was proved to be integrable in the case $A + B + C = 0$ (the Veronese web equation). Our study reveals ten more cases that admit integrable structures that, to the best of our knowledge, where not known before. The techniques is based essentially on the theory of the tangent and cotangent coverings.

The gauge action on (semi-)discrete Lax representations, its invariants, and Lax-Miura type constructions

We introduce and study explicit invariants with respect to the action of gauge transformations on the set of semi-discrete (differential-difference) matrix Lax representations (MLRs) for a given (1+1)-dimensional evolutionary differential-difference equation with any number of components. Using these invariants, we obtain the following general results: - Sufficient conditions for nonremovability of parameters in semi-discrete MLRs. (Nonremovability by means of gauge transformations.) - Necessary conditions for two semi-discrete MLRs to be gauge equivalent. Effective use of these results is demonstrated. We present the general theory and apply it to MLRs for equations of Volterra-Yamilov, Cherdantsev-Yamilov, Toda types and Miura-type modifications. Also, we present a comparison with results of S.Yu. Sakovich and M. Marvan on gauge invariants for (continuous) zero-curvature representations of partial differential equations. Furthermore, we demonstrate procedures for constructing Miura-type transformations (MTs) for discrete (partial difference) equations (on the two-dimensional integer lattice) by means of gauge simplifications of discrete matrix Lax pairs (DLPs) and reductions of auxiliary systems associated with DLPs. This allows us to construct new MTs for (non-evolutionary) 4-point and 6-point discrete equations from [D. Levi, R.I. Yamilov, J. Phys. A 2009], [S. Konstantinou-Rizos, A.V. Mikhailov, P. Xenitidis, J. Math. Phys. 2015].

A vectorial Darboux transformation for integrable matrix versions of the Fokas-Lenells equation

Using bidifferential calculus, we derive a vectorial binary Darboux transformation for an integrable matrix version of the first negative flow of the Kaup-Newell hierarchy. A reduction from the latter system to an integrable matrix version of the Fokas-Lenells equation is then shown to inherit a corresponding vectorial Darboux transformation. Matrix soliton solutions are derived from the trivial seed solution. Furthermore, the Darboux transformation is exploited to determine in a systematic way exact solutions of the two-component vector Fokas-Lenells equation on a plane wave background. This comprises breathers, dark solitons, rogue waves and "beating solitons".

Symmetries, Lax pair, and nilpotent Darboux transformation for the KdV-ghost system

We analyze the KdV--ghost system arising from the BRST formulation of BF-type topological field theory, its symmetries, Lax pair, spectral problem, zero-curvature formulation and Darboux formalism. The system is invariant under shifts of the ghost field, whose generator does not commute with the BRST symmetry of the KdV--ghost system. Their generators allow the introduction of a systematic procedure for generating new solutions from a given one, and the corresponding expressions in the Grassmann algebra are obtained explicitly. We introduce a Grassmann-valued Lax pair and prove an isospectral theorem relating the spectral problem of the spatial Lax operator for the KdV equation to that of its KdV--ghost extension. We also construct a triangular zero-curvature representation and show that the Grassmann-valued spatial Lax operator is related to the KdV spatial Lax operator by a nilpotent conjugation. The natural variable for a local Darboux formulation is the differentiated ghost $v=C_x$, for which the ghost equation coincides with the Fréchet linearization of the KdV flow. We then construct a nilpotent lift of the scalar KdV Bäcklund--Darboux transformation. Using Riccati variables and off-shell factorization identities for the KdV residue and its Fréchet derivative, we prove that the transformation closes on the local KdV--ghost system. Successive Darboux transformations yield a recursive ghost extension of the bosonic Darboux chain, with a new odd homogeneous contribution introduced at each step. For the solitonic examples, the resulting local ghost fields are naturally identified with tangent directions associated with the soliton phase parameters. The construction provides a Darboux-theoretic interpretation of the ghost sector while remaining distinct from the standard supersymmetric KdV hierarchies.
