Integrable nonlinear field equations and loop algebra structures

We apply the (direct and inverse) prolongation method to a couple of nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equations. These are taken as a laboratory field model for analyzing the existence of a connection between the integrability property and loop algebras. Exploiting a realization of the Kac-Moody type of the incomplete prolongation algebra associated with the system under consideration, we develop a procedure with allows us to generate a new class of integrable nonlinear field equations containing the original ones as a special case.Comment: 13 pages, latex, no figures

The Prolongation Problem for the Heavenly Equation

We provide an exact regular solution of an operator system arising as the prolongation structure associated with the heavenly equation. This solution is expressed in terms of operator Bessel coefficients.Comment: 9 pages, Proc. SIGRAV Conference (Bari 1998

Quaternionic eigenvalue problem

We discuss the (right) eigenvalue equation for $\mathbb{H}$, $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mathbb{R}$ linear quaternionic operators. The possibility to introduce an isomorphism between these operators and real/complex matrices allows to translate the quaternionic problem into an {\em equivalent} real or complex counterpart. Interesting applications are found in solving differential equations within quaternionic formulations of quantum mechanics.Comment: 13 pages, AMS-Te
