Non-Hamiltonian generalizations of the dispersionless 2DTL hierarchy

We consider two-component integrable generalizations of the dispersionless 2DTL hierarchy connected with non-Hamiltonian vector fields, similar to the Manakov-Santini hierarchy generalizing the dKP hierarchy. They form a one-parametric family connected by hodograph type transformations. Generating equations and Lax-Sato equations are introduced, a dressing scheme based on the vector nonlinear Riemann problem is formulated. The simplest two-component generalization of the dispersionless 2DTL equation is derived, its differential reduction analogous to the Dunajski interpolating system is presented. A symmetric two-component generalization of the dispersionless elliptic 2DTL equation is also constructed.Comment: 10 pages, the text of the talk at NEEDS 09. Notations clarified, references adde

`Interpolating' differential reductions of multidimensional integrable hierarchies

We transfer the scheme of constructing differential reductions, developed recently for the case of the Manakov-Santini hierarchy, to the general multidimensional case. We consider in more detail the four-dimensional case, connected with the second heavenly equation and its generalization proposed by Dunajski. We give a characterization of differential reductions in terms of the Lax-Sato equations as well as in the framework of the dressing method based on nonlinear Riemann-Hilbert problem.Comment: Based on the talk at NLPVI, Gallipoli, 15 page
