Bi-Hamiltonian structure of the Oriented Associativity Equation

The Oriented Associativity equation plays a fundamental role in the theory of Integrable Systems. In this paper we prove that the equation, besides being Hamiltonian with respect to a first-order Hamiltonian operator, has a third-order non-local homogeneous Hamiltonian operator belonging to a class which has been recently studied, thus providing a highly non-trivial example in that class and showing intriguing connections with algebraic geometry.

On a class of third-order nonlocal Hamiltonian operators

Based on the theory of Poisson vertex algebras we calculate skew-symmetry conditions and Jacobi identities for a class of third-order nonlocal operators of differential-geometric type. Hamiltonian operators within this class are defined by a Monge metric and a skew-symmetric two-form satisfying a number of differential-geometric constraints. Complete classification results in the 2-component and 3-component cases are obtained.

Systems of conservation laws with third-order Hamiltonian structures

We investigate $n$-component systems of conservation laws that possess third-order Hamiltonian structures of differential-geometric type. The classification of such systems is reduced to the projective classification of linear congruences of lines in $\mathbb{P}^{n+2}$ satisfying additional geometric constraints. Algebraically, the problem can be reformulated as follows: for a vector space $W$ of dimension $n+2$, classify $n$-tuples of skew-symmetric 2-forms $A^α \in Λ^2(W)$ such that \[ ϕ_{βγ}A^β\wedge A^γ=0, \] for some non-degenerate symmetric $ϕ$.

Remarks on the Lagrangian representation of bi-Hamiltonian equations

The Lagrangian representation of multi-Hamiltonian PDEs has been introduced by Y. Nutku and one of us (MVP). In this paper we focus on systems which are (at least) bi-Hamiltonian by a pair $A_1$, $A_2$, where $A_1$ is a hydrodynamic-type Hamiltonian operator. We prove that finding the Lagrangian representation is equivalent to finding a generalized vector field $τ$ such that $A_2=L_τA_1$. We use this result in order to find the Lagrangian representation when $A_2$ is a homogeneous third-order Hamiltonian operator, although the method that we use can be applied to any other homogeneous Hamiltonian operator. As an example we provide the Lagrangian representation of a WDVV hydrodynamic-type system in $3$ components.

Towards the classification of homogeneous third-order Hamiltonian operators

Let $V$ be a vector space of dimension $n+1$. We demonstrate that $n$-component third-order Hamiltonian operators of differential-geometric type are parametrised by the algebraic variety of elements of rank $n$ in $S^2(Λ^2V)$ that lie in the kernel of the natural map $S^2(Λ^2V)\to Λ^4V$. Non-equivalent operators correspond to different orbits of the natural action of $SL(n+1)$. Based on this result, we obtain a classification of such operators for $n\leq 4$.

On the bi-Hamiltonian Geometry of WDVV Equations

We consider the WDVV associativity equations in the four dimensional case. These nonlinear equations of third order can be written as a pair of six component commuting two-dimensional non-diagonalizable hydrodynamic type systems. We prove that these systems possess a compatible pair of local homogeneous Hamiltonian structures of Dubrovin--Novikov type (of first and third order, respectively).
