The "Ghost" Symmetry of the BKP hierarchy

In this paper, we systematically develop the "ghost" symmetry of the BKP hierarchy through its actions on the Lax operator $L$, the eigenfunctions and the $\tau$ function. In this process, the spectral representation of the eigenfunctions and a new potential are introduced by using squared eigenfunction potential(SEP) of the BKP hierarchy. Moreover, the bilinear identity of the constrained BKP hierarchy and Adler-Shiota-van-Moerbeke formula of the BKP hierarchy are re-derived compactly by means of the spectral representation and "ghost" symmetry.Comment: 23pages, to appear in Journal of Mathematical Physic

The Recursion operators of the BKP hierarchy and the CKP Hierarchy

In this paper, under the constraints of the BKP(CKP) hierarchy, a crucial observation is that the odd dynamical variable $u_{2k+1}$ can be explicitly expressed by the even dynamical variable $u_{2k}$ in the Lax operator $L$ through a new operator $B$. Using operator $B$, the essential differences between the BKP hierarchy and the CKP hierarchy are given by the flow equations and the recursion operators under the $(2n+1)$-reduction. The formal formulas of the recursion operators for the BKP and CKP hierarchy under $(2n+1)$-reduction are given. To illustrate this method, the two recursion operators are constructed explicitly for the 3-reduction of the BKP and CKP hierarchies. The $t_7$ flows of $u_2$ are generated from $t_1$ flows by the above recursion operators, which are consistent with the corresponding flows generated by the flow equations under 3-reduction.Comment: 19 page

The gauge transformation of the constrained semi-discrete KP hierarchy

In this paper, the gauge transformation of the constrained semi-discrete KP(cdKP) hierarchy is constructed explicitly by the suitable choice of the generating functions. Under the $m$-step successive gauge transformation $T_m$, we give the transformed (adjoint) eigenfunctions and the $\tau$-function of the transformed Lax operator of the cdKP hierarchy.Comment: 13 pages, accepted by Modern Physics Letters

The Additional Symmetries for the BTL and CTL Hierarchies

The Toda lattice (TL) hierarchy was first introduced by K.Ueno and K.Takasaki in \cite{uenotaksasai} to generalize the Toda lattice equations\cite{toda}. Along the work of E. Date, M. Jimbo, M. Kashiwara and T. Miwa \cite{DJKM} on the KP hierarchy, K.Ueno and K.Takasaki in \cite{uenotaksasai} develop the theory for the TL hierarchy: its algebraic structure, the linearization, the bilinear identity, $\tau$ function and so on. Also the analogues of the B and C types for the TL hierarchy, i.e. the BTL and CTL hierarchies, are considered in \cite{uenotaksasai}, which are corresponding to infinite dimensional Lie algebras $\textmd{o}(\infty)$ and $\textmd{sp}(\infty)$ respectively. In this paper, we will focus on the study of the additional symmetries for the BTL and CTL hierarchies.Comment: 13 page
