We give a derivation of dispersionless Hirota equations for the extended dispersionless Toda hierarchy. We show that the dispersionless Hirota equations are nothing but a direct consequence of the genus-zero topological recursion relation for the topological $CP^1$ model. Using the dispersionless Hirota equations we compute the two point functions and express the result in terms of Catalan number.
We derive the dispersionless Hirota equations of the universal Whitham hierarchy from the kernel formula approach proposed by Carroll and Kodama. Besides, we also verify the associativity equations in this hierarchy from the dispersionless Hirota equations and give a realization of the associative algebra with structure constants expressed in terms of the residue formulas.
The Adler-Shiota-van Moerbeke formula is employed to derive the $W$-constraints for the $p$-reduced BKP hierarchy constrained by the string equation. We also provide the Grassmannian description of the string equation in terms of the spectral parameter.
We investigate symmetries of Witten-Dijkgraaf-E.Verlinde-H.Verlinde (WDVV) equations proposed by Dubrovin from bi-hamiltonian point of view. These symmetries can be viewed as canonical Miura transformations between genus-zero bi-hamiltonian systems of hydrodynamic type. In particular,we show that the moduli space of two-primary models under symmetries of WDVV can be characterized by the polytropic exponent $h$. Furthermore, we also discuss the transformation properties of free energy at genus-one level.
We give an alternative proof of the Adler-Shiota-van Moerbeke formula for the BKP hierarchy. The proof is based on a simple expression for the generator of additional symmetries and the Fay identity of the BKP hierarchy.
We rederive dispersionless Hirota equations of the dispersionless Toda hierarchy from the method of kernel formula provided by Carroll and Kodama. We then apply the method to derive dispersionless Hirota equations of the extended dispersionless BKP(EdBKP) hierarchy proposed by Takasaki. Moreover, we verify associativity equations (WDVV equations) in the EdBKP hierarchy from dispersionless Hirota equations and give a realization of associative algebra with structure constants expressed in terms of residue formula.
A covariant approach to the conformal property associated with Moyal-Lax operators is given. By identifying the conformal covariance with the second Gelfand-Dickey flow, we covariantize Moyal-Lax operators to construct the primary fields of one-parameter deformation of classical $W$-algebras.
We study the Bäcklund symmetry for the Moyal Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) hierarchy based on the Kuperschmidt-Wilson Theorem associated with second Gelfand-Dickey structure with respect to the Moyal bracket, which generalizes the result of Adler for the ordinary KdV.
The integrability of the generalized Benney hierarchy with three primary fields is investigated from the point of view of two-dimensional topological field theories coupled to gravity. The associated primary free energy and correlation functions at genus zero are obtained via Landau-Ginzburg formulation and the string equation is derived using the twistor construction for the Orlov operators. By adopting the approach of Dubrovin and Zhang we obtain the genus-one corrections of the Poisson brackets of the generalized Benney hierarchy.
We consider the Gelfand-Dickey (GD) structure defined by the Moyal $\star$-product with parameter $\ka$, which not only defines the bi-Hamiltonian structure for the generalized Moyal KdV hierarchy but also provides a $W_n^{(\ka)}$ algebra containing the Virasoro algebra as a subalgebra with central charge $\ka^2(n^3-n)/3$. The free-field realization of the $W_n^{(\ka)}$ algebra is given through the Miura transformation and the cases for $W_3^{(\ka)}$ and $W_4^{(\ka)}$ are worked out in detail.
The bi-Hamiltonian structure of the Benney hierarchy is revisited. We show that the compatibility condition of the Poisson brackets provides the genus zero free energy of a topological field theory coupled to 2d gravity. We calculate the correlation functions via the Landau-Ginzburg formulation and derive the string equation based on the twistor construction. Moreover, by using the approach of Dubrovin and Zhang, we compute the genus one correction of the Poisson brackets and compare them with the Oevel-Strampp's brackets of the Kaup-Broer hierarchy.
We investigate the bi-Hamiltonian structures associated with constrained dispersionless modified KP hierarchies which are constructed from truncations of the Lax operator of the dispersionless modified KP hierarchy. After transforming their second Hamiltonian structures to those of Gelfand-Dickey type, we obtain the Poisson algebras of the coefficient functions of the truncated Lax operators. Then we study the conformal property and free-field realizations of these Poisson algebras. Some examples are worked out explicitly to illustrate the obtained results.
We investigate the Miura map between the dispersionless KP and dispersionless modified KP hierarchies. We show that the Miura map is canonical with respect to their bi-Hamiltonian structures. Moreover, inspired by the works of Takasaki and Takebe, the twistor construction of solution structure for the dispersionless modified KP hierarchy is given.
A study of Hamiltonian structures associated with supersymmetric Lax operators is presented. Following a constructive approach, the Hamiltonian structures of Inami-Kanno super KdV hierarchy and constrained modified super KP hierarchy are investigated from the reduced supersymmetric Gelfand-Dickey brackets. By applying a gauge transformation on the Hamiltonian structures associated with these two nonstandard super Lax hierarchies, we obtain the Hamiltonian structures of generalized Manin-Radul super KdV and constrained super KP hierarchies. We also work out a few examples and compare them with the known results.
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 Bäcklund 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.
We study Darboux-Bäcklund 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.
The supersymmetric version of the Miura and Bäcklund transformations associated with the supersymmetric Gelfand-Dickey bracket are investigated from the point of view of the Kupershmidt-Wilson theorem.
We give a matrix formulation of the Hamiltonian structures of constrained KP hierarchy. First, we derive from the matrix formulation the Hamiltonian structure of the one-constraint KP hierarchy, which was originally obtained by Oevel and Strampp. We then generalize the derivation to the multi-constraint case and show that the resulting bracket is actually the second Gelfand-Dickey bracket associated with the corresponding Lax operator. The matrix formulation of the Hamiltonian structure of the one-constraint KP hierarchy in the form introduced in the study of matrix model is also discussed
