It is shown that the Jacobi and Riemann identities of degree four for the multidimensional theta functions as well as the Weierstrass identities emerge as algebraic consequences of the fundamental multidimensional binary identities connecting the theta functions with Riemann matrices $τ$ and $2τ$.
We find all formal solutions to the $\hbar$-dependent KP hierarchy. They are characterized by certain Cauchy-like data. The solutions are found in the form of formal series for the tau-function of the hierarchy and for its logarithm (the F-function). An explicit combinatorial description of the coefficients of the series is provided.
This paper is an annotated list of transformation properties and identities satisfied by the four theta functions $θ_1$, $θ_2$, $θ_3$, $θ_4$ of one complex variable, presented in a ready-to-use form. An attempt is made to reveal a pattern behind various identities for the theta-functions. It is shown that all possible 3, 4 and 5-term identities of degree four emerge as algebraic consequences of the six fundamental bilinear 3-term identities connecting the theta-functions with modular parameters $τ$ and $2τ$.
We show that the dispersionless limits of the Pfaff-KP (also known as the DKP or Pfaff lattice) and the Pfaff-Toda hierarchies admit a reformulation through elliptic functions. In the elliptic form they look like natural elliptic deformations of the KP and 2D Toda hierarchy respectively.
This note is a review of the recently revealed intriguing connection between integrable quantum spin chains and integrable many-body systems of classical mechanics. The essence of this connection lies in the fact that the spectral problem for quantum Hamiltonians of the former models is closely related to a sort of inverse spectral problem for Lax matrices of the latter ones. For simplicity, we focus on the most transparent and familiar case of spin chains on N sites constructed by means of the GL(2)-invariant R-matrix. They are related to the classical Ruijsenaars-Schneider system of N particles, which is known to be an integrable deformation of the Calogero-Moser system. As an explicit example the case N=2 is considered in detail.
We show that the dispersionless DKP hierarchy (the dispersionless limit of the Pfaff lattice) admits a suggestive reformulation through elliptic functions. We also consider one-variable reductions of the dispersionless DKP hierarchy and show that they are described by an elliptic version of the Lowner equation. With a particular choice of the driving function, the latter appears to be closely related to the Painleve VI equation with special choice of parameters.
In this paper we clarify the relationship between inhomogeneous quantum spin chains and classical integrable many-body systems. It provides an alternative (to the nested Bethe ansatz) method for computation of spectra of the spin chains. Namely, the spectrum of the quantum transfer matrix for the inhomogeneous ${\mathfrak g}{\mathfrak l}_n$-invariant XXX spin chain on $N$ sites with twisted boundary conditions can be found in terms of velocities of particles in the rational $N$-body Ruijsenaars-Schneider model. The possible values of the velocities are to be found from intersection points of two Lagrangian submanifolds in the phase space of the classical model. One of them is the Lagrangian hyperplane corresponding to fixed coordinates of all $N$ particles and the other one is an $N$-dimensional Lagrangian submanifold obtained by fixing levels of $N$ classical Hamiltonians in involution. The latter are determined by eigenvalues of the twist matrix. To support this picture, we give a direct proof that the eigenvalues of the Lax matrix for the classical Ruijsenaars-Schneider model, where velocities of particles are substituted by eigenvalues of the spin chain Hamiltonians, calculated through the Bethe equations, coincide with eigenvalues of the twist matrix, with certain multiplicities. We also prove a similar statement for the ${\mathfrak g}{\mathfrak l}_n$ Gaudin model with $N$ marked points (on the quantum side) and the Calogero-Moser system with $N$ particles (on the classical side). The realization of the results obtained in terms of branes and supersymmetric gauge theories is also discussed.
This short note is a review of the intriguing connection between the quantum Gaudin model and the classical KP hierarchy recently established in [1]. We construct the generating function of integrals of motion for the quantum Gaudin model with twisted boundary conditions (the master T-operator) and show that it satisfies the bilinear identity and Hirota equations for the classical KP hierarchy. This implies that zeros of eigenvalues of the master $T$-operator in the spectral parameter have the same dynamics as the Calogero-Moser system of particles.
Under certain reality conditions, a general solution to the dispersionless Toda lattice hierarchy describes deformations of simply-connected plane domains with a smooth boundary. The solution depends on an arbitrary (real positive) function of two variables which plays the role of a density or a conformal metric in the plane. We consider in detail the important class of symmetric solutions characterized by the density functions that depend only on the distance from the origin and that are positive and regular in an annulus $r_0< |z|<r_1$. We construct the dispersionless tau-function which gives formal local solution to the inverse potential problem and to the Riemann mapping problem and discuss the associated conformal dynamics related to viscous flows in the Hele-Shaw cell.
We study the integrable structure of the 2D Laplacian growth problem with zero surface tension in an infinite channel with periodic boundary conditions in the transverse direction. Similar to the Laplacian growth in radial geometry, this problem can be embedded into the 2D Toda lattice hierarchy in the zero dispersion limit. However, the relevant solution to the hierarchy is different. We characterize this solution by the string equations and construct the corresponding dispersionless tau-function. This tau-function is shown to coincide with the genus-zero part of the generating function for double Hurwitz numbers.
In the light of the Quantum Painleve-Calogero Correspondence established in our previous papers [1,2], we investigate the inverse problem. We imply that this type of the correspondence (Classical-Quantum Correspondence) holds true and find out what kind of potentials arise from the compatibility conditions of the related linear problems. The latter conditions are written as functional equations for the potentials depending on a choice of a single function - the left-upper element of the Lax connection. The conditions of the Correspondence impose restrictions on this function. In particular, it satisfies the heat equation. It is shown that all natural choices of this function (rational, hyperbolic and elliptic) reproduce exactly the Painleve list of equations. In this sense the Classical-Quantum Correspondence can be regarded as an alternative definition of the Painleve equations.
In this short review the role of the Hirota equation and the tau-function in the theory of classical and quantum integrable systems is outlined.
The construction of the master T-operator recently suggested in Alexandrov et al. (arXiv:1112.3310) is applied to integrable vertex models and associated quantum spin chains with trigonometric R-matrices. The master T-operator is a generating function for commuting transfer matrices of integrable vertex models depending on infinitely many parameters. At the same time it turns out to be the tau-function of an integrable hierarchy of classical soliton equations in the sense that it satisfies the the same bilinear Hirota equations. The class of solutions of the Hirota equations that correspond to eigenvalues of the master T-operator is characterized and its relation to the classical Ruijsenaars-Schneider system of particles is discussed.
The Painleve-Calogero correspondence is extended to auxiliary linear problems associated with Painleve equations. The linear problems are represented in a new form which has a suggestive interpretation as a "quantized" version of the Painleve-Calogero correspondence. Namely, the linear problem responsible for the time evolution is brought into the form of non-stationary Schrodinger equation in imaginary time, $\p_t ψ=(1/2\, \p_x^2 +V(x,t))ψ$, whose Hamiltonian is a natural quantization of the classical Calogero-like Hamiltonian $H=1/2\, p^2 +V(x,t)$ for the corresponding Painleve equation.
Intertwining operators for infinite-dimensional representations of the Sklyanin algebra with spins l and -l-1 are constructed using the technique of intertwining vectors for elliptic L-operator. They are expressed in terms of elliptic hypergeometric series with operator argument. The intertwining operators obtained (W-operators) serve as building blocks for the elliptic R-matrix which intertwines tensor product of two L-operators taken in infinite-dimensional representations of the Sklyanin algebra with arbitrary spin. The Yang-Baxter equation for this R-matrix follows from simpler equations of the star-triangle type for the W-operators. A natural graphic representation of the objects and equations involved in the construction is used.
The partition function for a canonical ensemble of 2D Coulomb charges in a background potential (the Dyson gas) is realized as a vacuum expectation value of a group-like element constructed in terms of free fermionic operators. This representation provides an explicit identification of the partition function with a tau-function of the 2D Toda lattice hierarchy. Its dispersionless (quasiclassical) limit yields the tau-function for analytic curves encoding the integrable structure of the inverse potential problem and parametric conformal maps. A similar fermionic realization of partition functions for grand canonical ensembles of 2D Coulomb charges in the presence of an ideal conductor is also suggested. Their representation as Fredholm determinants is given and their relation to integrable hierarchies, growth problems and conformal maps is discussed.
We investigate a version of the Laplacian growth problem with zero surface tension in the half plane and find families of self-similar exact solutions.
The theory of random matrices with eigenvalues distributed in the complex plane and more general "beta-ensembles" (logarithmic gases in 2D) is reviewed. The distribution and correlations of the eigenvalues are investigated in the large N limit. It is shown that in this limit the model is mathematically equivalent to a class of diffusion-controlled growth models for viscous flows in the Hele-Shaw cell and other growth processes of Laplacian type. The analytical methods used involve the technique of boundary value problems in two dimensions and elements of the potential theory.
