Permutability of Backlund Transformations for N=2 Supersymmetric Sine-Gordon

The permutability of two Backlund transformations is employed to construct a non linear superposition formula and to generate a class of solutions for the N=2 super sine-Gordon model.Comment: two references adde

On a negative flow of the AKNS hierarchy and its relation to a two-component Camassa-Holm equation

Different gauge copies of the Ablowitz-Kaup-Newell-Segur (AKNS) model labeled by an angle $\theta$ are constructed and then reduced to the two-component Camassa--Holm model. Only three different independent classes of reductions are encountered corresponding to the angle $\theta$ being 0, $\pi/2$ or taking any value in the interval $0<\theta<\pi/2$. This construction induces B\"{a}cklund transformations between solutions of the two-component Camassa--Holm model associated with different classes of reduction.Comment: This is a contribution to the Proc. of the O'Raifeartaigh Symposium on Non-Perturbative and Symmetry Methods in Field Theory (June 2006, Budapest, Hungary), published in SIGMA (Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications) at http://www.emis.de/journals/SIGMA

Darboux-Backlund Derivation of Rational Solutions of the Painleve IV Equation

Rational solutions of the Painleve IV equation are constructed in the setting of pseudo-differential Lax formalism describing AKNS hierarchy subject to the additional non-isospectral Virasoro symmetry constraint. Convenient Wronskian representations for rational solutions are obtained by successive actions of the Darboux-Backlund transformations.Comment: 21 page

Affine Lie Algebraic Origin of Constrained KP Hierarchies

We present an affine $sl (n+1)$ algebraic construction of the basic constrained KP hierarchy. This hierarchy is analyzed using two approaches, namely linear matrix eigenvalue problem on hermitian symmetric space and constrained KP Lax formulation and we show that these approaches are equivalent. The model is recognized to be the generalized non-linear Schr\"{o}dinger (\GNLS) hierarchy and it is used as a building block for a new class of constrained KP hierarchies. These constrained KP hierarchies are connected via similarity-B\"{a}cklund transformations and interpolate between \GNLS and multi-boson KP-Toda hierarchies. Our construction uncovers origin of the Toda lattice structure behind the latter hierarchy.Comment: 25 pgs, LaTeX, IFT-P/029/94 and UICHEP-TH/93-1

Integrable Origins of Higher Order Painleve Equations

Higher order Painleve equations invariant under extended affine Weyl groups $A^{(1)}_n$ are obtained through self-similarity limit of a class of pseudo-differential Lax hierarchies with symmetry inherited from the underlying generalized Volterra lattice structure.Comment: 18 pages Late

T-Duality in Affine NA Toda Models

The construction of Non Abelian affine Toda models is discussed in terms of its underlying Lie algebraic structure. It is shown that a subclass of such non conformal two dimensional integrable models naturally leads to the construction of a pair of actions which share the same spectra and are related by canonical transformations.Comment: 6 pages, Presented at the 13th International Colloquium on Integrable Systems and Quantum Groups, Prague, June, 200
