On Lie algebras responsible for zero-curvature representations of multicomponent (1+1)-dimensional evolution PDEs
Zero-curvature representations (ZCRs) are one of the main tools in the theory
of integrable -dimensional PDEs. According to the preprint
arXiv:1212.2199, for any given -dimensional evolution PDE one can define
a sequence of Lie algebras , , such that representations
of these algebras classify all ZCRs of the PDE up to local gauge equivalence.
ZCRs depending on derivatives of arbitrary finite order are allowed.
Furthermore, these algebras provide necessary conditions for existence of
Backlund transformations between two given PDEs. The algebras are defined
in arXiv:1212.2199 in terms of generators and relations.
In the present paper, we describe some methods to study the structure of the
algebras for multicomponent -dimensional evolution PDEs. Using
these methods, we compute the explicit structure (up to non-essential nilpotent
ideals) of the Lie algebras for the Landau-Lifshitz, nonlinear
Schrodinger equations, and for the -component Landau-Lifshitz system of
Golubchik and Sokolov for any . In particular, this means that for the
-component Landau-Lifshitz system we classify all ZCRs (depending on
derivatives of arbitrary finite order), up to local gauge equivalence and up to
killing nilpotent ideals in the corresponding Lie algebras.
The presented methods to classify ZCRs can be applied also to other
-dimensional evolution PDEs. Furthermore, the obtained results can be
used for proving non-existence of Backlund transformations between some PDEs,
which will be described in forthcoming publications.Comment: 56 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1303.357
On construction of symmetries and recursion operators from zero-curvature representations and the Darboux-Egoroff system
The Darboux-Egoroff system of PDEs with any number of independent
variables plays an essential role in the problems of describing -dimensional
flat diagonal metrics of Egoroff type and Frobenius manifolds. We construct a
recursion operator and its inverse for symmetries of the Darboux-Egoroff system
and describe some symmetries generated by these operators.
The constructed recursion operators are not pseudodifferential, but are
Backlund autotransformations for the linearized system whose solutions
correspond to symmetries of the Darboux-Egoroff system. For some other PDEs,
recursion operators of similar types were considered previously by
Papachristou, Guthrie, Marvan, Poboril, and Sergyeyev.
In the structure of the obtained third and fifth order symmetries of the
Darboux-Egoroff system, one finds the third and fifth order flows of an
-component vector modified KdV hierarchy.
The constructed recursion operators generate also an infinite number of
nonlocal symmetries. In particular, we obtain a simple construction of nonlocal
symmetries that were studied by Buryak and Shadrin in the context of the
infinitesimal version of the Givental-van de Leur twisted loop group action on
the space of semisimple Frobenius manifolds.
We obtain these results by means of rather general methods, using only the
zero-curvature representation of the considered PDEs.Comment: 20 pages; v2: minor change
On Lie algebras responsible for zero-curvature representations and Backlund transformations of (1+1)-dimensional scalar evolution PDEs
Zero-curvature representations (ZCRs) are one of the main tools in the theory
of integrable PDEs. In particular, Lax pairs for -dimensional PDEs can
be interpreted as ZCRs.
In [arXiv:1303.3575], for any -dimensional scalar evolution equation
, we defined a family of Lie algebras which are responsible for all
ZCRs of in the following sense. Representations of the algebras
classify all ZCRs of the equation up to local gauge transformations. Also,
using these algebras, one obtains necessary conditions for existence of a
Backlund transformation between two given equations. The algebras are
defined in [arXiv:1303.3575] in terms of generators and relations.
In this approach, ZCRs may depend on partial derivatives of arbitrary order,
which may be higher than the order of the equation . The algebras
generalize Wahlquist-Estabrook prolongation algebras, which are responsible for
a much smaller class of ZCRs.
In this preprint we prove a number of results on which were announced
in [arXiv:1303.3575]. We present applications of to the theory of
Backlund transformations in more detail and describe the explicit structure (up
to non-essential nilpotent ideals) of the algebras for a number of
equations of orders and .Comment: 40 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1303.357
Lie algebras responsible for zero-curvature representations of scalar evolution equations
Zero-curvature representations (ZCRs) are one of the main tools in the theory
of integrable PDEs. In particular, Lax pairs for (1+1)-dimensional PDEs can be
interpreted as ZCRs.
For any (1+1)-dimensional scalar evolution equation , we define a family
of Lie algebras which are responsible for all ZCRs of in the
following sense. Representations of the algebras classify all ZCRs of
the equation up to local gauge transformations. To achieve this, we find a
normal form for ZCRs with respect to the action of the group of local gauge
transformations.
As we show in other publications, using these algebras, one obtains some
necessary conditions for integrability of the considered PDEs (where
integrability is understood in the sense of soliton theory) and necessary
conditions for existence of a B\"acklund transformation between two given
equations. Examples of proving non-integrability and applications to obtaining
non-existence results for B\"acklund transformations are presented in other
publications as well.
In our approach, ZCRs may depend on partial derivatives of arbitrary order,
which may be higher than the order of the equation . The algebras
generalize Wahlquist-Estabrook prolongation algebras, which are responsible for
a much smaller class of ZCRs.
In this paper we describe general properties of and present generators
and relations for these algebras. In other publications we study the structure
of for equations of KdV, Krichever-Novikov, Kaup-Kupershmidt,
Sawada-Kotera types. Among the obtained algebras, one finds
infinite-dimensional Lie algebras of certain matrix-valued functions on
rational and elliptic algebraic curves.Comment: 23 pages; v4: some results have been moved to other preprint

Zero-curvature representations (ZCRs) are one of the main tools in the theory

, one obtains some necessary conditions for integrability of
(1+1)-dimensional scalar evolution PDEs, where integrability is understood in
the sense of soliton theory. Using these conditions, we prove non-integrability
for some scalar evolution PDEs of order . Also, we prove a result announced
in [arXiv:1303.3575] on the structure of the algebras for certain
classes of equations of orders , , , which include KdV, mKdV,
Kaup-Kupershmidt, Sawada-Kotera type equations. Among the obtained algebras for
equations considered in this paper and in [arXiv:1804.04652], one finds
infinite-dimensional Lie algebras of certain polynomial matrix-valued functions
on affine algebraic curves of genus and . In this approach, ZCRs may
depend on partial derivatives of arbitrary order, which may be higher than the
order of the equation . The algebras generalize Wahlquist-Estabrook
prolongation algebras, which are responsible for a much smaller class of ZCRs.Comment: 29 pages; v2: consideration of zero-curvature representations with

Prolongation structure of the Krichever-Novikov equation
We completely describe Wahlquist-Estabrook prolongation structures
(coverings) dependent on u, u_x, u_{xx}, u_{xxx} for the Krichever-Novikov
equation u_t=u_{xxx}-3u_{xx}^2/(2u_x)+p(u)/u_x+au_x in the case when the
polynomial p(u)=4u^3-g_2u-g_3 has distinct roots. We prove that there is a
universal prolongation algebra isomorphic to the direct sum of a commutative
2-dimensional algebra and a certain subalgebra of the tensor product of sl_2(C)
with the algebra of regular functions on an affine elliptic curve. This is
achieved by identifying this prolongation algebra with the one for the
anisotropic Landau-Lifshitz equation. Using these results, we find for the
Krichever-Novikov equation a new zero-curvature representation, which is
polynomial in the spectral parameter in contrast to the known elliptic ones.Comment: 13 pages, revised version with minor change
Miura-type transformations for lattice equations and Lie group actions associated with Darboux-Lax representations
Miura-type transformations (MTs) are an essential tool in the theory of integrable nonlinear partial differential and difference equations. We present a geometric method to construct MTs for differential-difference (lattice) equations from Darboux–Lax representations (DLRs) of such equations. The method is applicable to parameter-dependent DLRs satisfying certain conditions. We construct MTs and modified lattice equations from invariants of some Lie group actions on manifolds associated with such DLRs. Using this construction, from a given suitable DLR one can obtain many MTs of different orders. The main idea behind this method is closely related to the results of Drinfeld and Sokolov on MTs for the partial differential KdV equation. Considered examples include the Volterra, Narita–Itoh–Bogoyavlensky, Toda, and Adler–Postnikov lattices. Some of the constructed MTs and modified lattice equations seem to be new
Conservation laws for multidimensional systems and related linear algebra problems
We consider multidimensional systems of PDEs of generalized evolution form
with t-derivatives of arbitrary order on the left-hand side and with the
right-hand side dependent on lower order t-derivatives and arbitrary space
derivatives. For such systems we find an explicit necessary condition for
existence of higher conservation laws in terms of the system's symbol. For
systems that violate this condition we give an effective upper bound on the
order of conservation laws. Using this result, we completely describe
conservation laws for viscous transonic equations, for the Brusselator model,
and the Belousov-Zhabotinskii system. To achieve this, we solve over an
arbitrary field the matrix equations SA=A^tS and SA=-A^tS for a quadratic
matrix A and its transpose A^t, which may be of independent interest.Comment: 12 pages; proof of Theorem 1 clarified; misprints correcte
