CKP Hierarchy, Bosonic Tau Function and Bosonization Formulae

We develop the theory of CKP hierarchy introduced in the papers of Kyoto school [Date E., Jimbo M., Kashiwara M., Miwa T., J. Phys. Soc. Japan 50 (1981), 3806-3812] (see also [Kac V.G., van de Leur J.W., Adv. Ser. Math. Phys., Vol. 7, World Sci. Publ., Teaneck, NJ, 1989, 369-406]). We present appropriate bosonization formulae. We show that in the context of the CKP theory certain orthogonal polynomials appear. These polynomials are polynomial both in even and odd (in Grassmannian sense) variables.

Involutive distributions of operator-valued evolutionary vector fields and their affine geometry. II

We generalize the notion of a Lie algebroid over infinite jet bundle by replacing the variational anchor with an N-tuple of differential operators whose images in the Lie algebra of evolutionary vector fields of the jet space are subject to collective commutation closure. The linear space of such operators becomes an algebra with bi-differential structural constants, of which we study the canonical structure. In particular, we show that these constants incorporate bi-differential analogues of Christoffel symbols.

Symmetry algebras of Lagrangian Liouville-type systems

The generators and commutation relations are calculated explicitly for higher symmetry algebras of a class of hyperbolic Euler-Lagrange systems of Liouville type (in particular, for 2D Toda chains associated with semi-simple complex Lie algebras). Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 35Q53, 37K05, 37K30.

A geometric derivation of KdV-type hierarchies from root systems

For the root system of each complex semi-simple Lie algebra of rank two, and for the associated 2D Toda chain $E=\{u_{xy}=\exp(K u)\}$, we calculate the two first integrals of the characteristic equation $D_y(w)=0$ on $E$. Using the integrals, we reconstruct and make coordinate-independent the $(2\times 2)$-matrix operators $\square$ in total derivatives that factor symmetries of the chains. Writing other factorizations that involve the operators $\square$, we obtain pairs of compatible Hamiltonian operators that produce KdV-type hierarchies of symmetries for $\cE$. Having thus reduced the problem to the Hamiltonian case, we calculate the Lie-type brackets, transferred from the commutators of the symmetries in the images of the operators $\square$ onto their domains. With all this, we describe the generators and derive all the commutation relations in the symmetry algebras of the 2D Toda chains, which serve here as an illustration for a much more general algebraic and geometric set-up.

Involutive distributions of operator-valued evolutionary vector fields

Let F be a smooth real manifold with a linear connection in the tangent bundle. How can we extend the coefficients of the connection to bi-differential operators that incorporate the original structure at zero order? Take a constant mapping of F to a point. Suppose that the point belongs to another manifold M^n. Consider a fibre bundle over M^n with fibres F. Denote the projection of the total space to M^n by π. Construct the space of infinite jets $J^\infty(π)$ of sections for this bundle. The $C^\infty(J^\infty(π))$-module of π-vertical evolutionary fields on the jet space is the analogue of the $C^\infty(F)$-module of vector fields on F, which now `feels' the presence of the base M^n. We define and classify the matrix linear differential operators whose images in the module of evolutionary fields are closed w.r.t. commutation. We define the compatibility for such operators with collective commutation closure. We prove that, under reparameterizations in their domain, the bi-differential structural constants, which describe the commutation of the fields in the sum of their images, obey an analogue of the transformation rule for Christoffel symbols. We show that the new structure is the connection in the pair of Lie algebras (the domain and the sum of images of the operators) related by homomorphisms (points in the linear space spanned by the operators). The application of this theory to geometry of PDE solves a long-standing problem. We give a complete description of symmetry algebras for 2D Toda chains associated with semi-simple Lie algebras: we obtain all symmetry generators and calculate all commutation relations. As a by-product, we expose a geometric scheme for derivation of bi-Hamiltonian KdV-type hierarchies related to root systems.
