Compatible Poisson Structures of Toda Type Discrete Hierarchy

An algebra isomorphism between algebras of matrices and difference operators is used to investigate the discrete integrable hierarchy. We find local and non-local families of R-matrix solutions to the modified Yang-Baxter equation. The three R-theoretic Poisson structures and the Suris quadratic bracket are derived. The resulting family of bi-Poisson structures include a seminal discrete bi-Poisson structure of Kupershmidt at a special value.Comment: 22 pages, LaTeX, v3: Minor change

On the constrained KP hierarchy

An explanation for the so-called constrained hierarhies is presented by linking them with the symmetries of the KP hierarchy. While the existence of ordinary symmetries (belonging to the hierarchy) allows one to reduce the KP hierarchy to the KdV hierarchies, the existence of additional symmetries allows to reduce KP to the constrained KP.Comment: 7pp, LaTe

Tri-hamiltonian vector fields, spectral curves and separation coordinates

We show that for a class of dynamical systems, Hamiltonian with respect to three distinct Poisson brackets (P_0, P_1, P_2), separation coordinates are provided by the common roots of a set of bivariate polynomials. These polynomials, which generalise those considered by E. Sklyanin in his algebro-geometric approach, are obtained from the knowledge of: (i) a common Casimir function for the two Poisson pencils (P_1 - \lambda P_0) and (P_2 - \mu P_0); (ii) a suitable set of vector fields, preserving P_0 but transversal to its symplectic leaves. The frameworks is applied to Lax equations with spectral parameter, for which not only it unifies the separation techniques of Sklyanin and of Magri, but also provides a more efficient ``inverse'' procedure not involving the extraction of roots.Comment: 49 pages Section on reduction revisite

Time-Dependent Symmetries of Variable-Coefficient Evolution Equations and Graded Lie Algebras

Polynomial-in-time dependent symmetries are analysed for polynomial-in-time dependent evolution equations. Graded Lie algebras, especially Virasoro algebras, are used to construct nonlinear variable-coefficient evolution equations, both in 1+1 dimensions and in 2+1 dimensions, which possess higher-degree polynomial-in-time dependent symmetries. The theory also provides a kind of new realisation of graded Lie algebras. Some illustrative examples are given.Comment: 11 pages, latex, to appear in J. Phys. A: Math. Ge

From dispersionless to soliton systems via Weyl-Moyal like deformations

The formalism of quantization deformation is reviewed and the Weyl-Moyal like deformation is applied to systematic construction of the field and lattice integrable soliton systems from Poisson algebras of dispersionless systems.Comment: 26 page

A three-by-three matrix spectral problem for AKNS hierarchy and its binary Nonlinearization

A three-by-three matrix spectral problem for AKNS soliton hierarchy is proposed and the corresponding Bargmann symmetry constraint involved in Lax pairs and adjoint Lax pairs is discussed. The resulting nonlinearized Lax systems possess classical Hamiltonian structures, in which the nonlinearized spatial system is intimately related to stationary AKNS flows. These nonlinearized Lax systems also lead to a sort of involutive solutions to each AKNS soliton equation.Comment: 21pages, in Late

Graded Symmetry Algebras of Time-Dependent Evolution Equations and Application to the Modified KP equations

By starting from known graded Lie algebras, including Virasoro algebras, new kinds of time-dependent evolution equations are found possessing graded symmetry algebras. The modified KP equations are taken as an illustrative example: new modified KP equations with $m$ arbitrary time-dependent coefficients are obtained possessing symmetries involving $m$ arbitrary functions of time. A particular graded symmetry algebra for the modified KP equations is derived in this connection homomorphic to the Virasoro algebras.Comment: 19 pages, latex, to appear in J. Nonlinear Math. Phy

Darboux Transformations for Supersymmetric Korteweg - de Vries Equations

\hspace{.2in}We consider the Darboux type transformations for the spectral problems of supersymmetric KdV systems. The supersymmetric analogies of Darboux and Darboux-Levi transformations are established for the spectral problems of Manin-Radul-Mathieu sKdV and Manin-Radul sKdV. Several B\"acklund transformations are derived for the MRM sKdV and MR sKdV systems.Comment: Latex, 8 pages AS-ITP-94-4

B\"{a}cklund transformations for the KP and mKP hierarchies with self-consistent sources

Using gauge transformations for the corresponding generating pseudo-differential operators $L^n$ in terms of eigenfunctions and adjoint eigenfunctions, we construct several types of auto-B\"{a}cklund transformations for the KP hierarchy with self-consistent sources (KPHSCS) and mKP hierarchy with self-consistent sources (mKPHSCS) respectively. The B\"{a}cklund transformations from the KPHSCS to mKPHSCS are also constructed in this way.Comment: 22 pages. to appear in J.Phys.

A note on the third family of N=2 supersymmetric KdV hierarchies

We propose a hamiltonian formulation of the $N=2$ supersymmetric KP type hierarchy recently studied by Krivonos and Sorin. We obtain a quadratic hamiltonian structure which allows for several reductions of the KP type hierarchy. In particular, the third family of $N=2$ KdV hierarchies is recovered. We also give an easy construction of Wronskian solutions of the KP and KdV type equations
