Geometric Bäcklund-Darboux transformations for the KP hierarchy

In this paper it is shown that, if you have two planes in the Sato Grassmannian that have an intersection of finite codimension, then the corresponding solutions of the KP hierarchy are linked by Bäcklund-Darboux (shortly BD-)transformations. The pseudodifferential operator that performs this transformation is shown to be built up in a geometric way from so-called elementary BD-transformations and is given here in a closed form. The corresponding action on the tau-function, associated to a plane in the Grassmannian, is also determined

CKP Hierarchy, Bosonic Tau Function and Bosonization Formulae

We develop the theory of CKP hierarchy introduced in the papers of Kyoto school [Date E., Jimbo M., Kashiwara M., Miwa T., J. Phys. Soc. Japan 50 (1981), 3806-3812] (see also [Kac V.G., van de Leur J.W., Adv. Ser. Math. Phys., Vol. 7, World Sci. Publ., Teaneck, NJ, 1989, 369-406]). We present appropriate bosonization formulae. We show that in the context of the CKP theory certain orthogonal polynomials appear. These polynomials are polynomial both in even and odd (in Grassmannian sense) variables

Irreducible Highest Weight Representations Of The Simple n-Lie Algebra

A. Dzhumadil'daev classified all irreducible finite dimensional representations of the simple n-Lie algebra. Using a slightly different approach, we obtain in this paper a complete classification of all irreducible, highest weight modules, including the infinite-dimensional ones. As a corollary we find all primitive ideals of the universal enveloping algebra of this simple n-Lie algebra.Comment: 24 pages, 24 figures, mistake in proposition 2.1 correcte

A geometric derivation of KdV-type hierarchies from root systems

For the root system of each complex semi-simple Lie algebra of rank two, and for the associated 2D Toda chain $E=\{u_{xy}=\exp(K u)\}$, we calculate the two first integrals of the characteristic equation $D_y(w)=0$ on $E$. Using the integrals, we reconstruct and make coordinate-independent the $(2\times 2)$-matrix operators $\square$ in total derivatives that factor symmetries of the chains. Writing other factorizations that involve the operators $\square$, we obtain pairs of compatible Hamiltonian operators that produce KdV-type hierarchies of symmetries for \cE. Having thus reduced the problem to the Hamiltonian case, we calculate the Lie-type brackets, transferred from the commutators of the symmetries in the images of the operators $\square$ onto their domains. With all this, we describe the generators and derive all the commutation relations in the symmetry algebras of the 2D Toda chains, which serve here as an illustration for a much more general algebraic and geometric set-up.Comment: Proc. 4th International workshop `Group analysis of differential equations and integrable systems' (Protaras, Cyprus, October 26-29, 2008), 19 pages

Polynomial Tau-Functions for the Multicomponent KP Hierarchy

In a previous paper we constructed all polynomial tau-functions of the 1-component KP hierarchy, namely, we showed that any such tau-function is obtained from a Schur polynomial s_λ(t) by certain shifts of arguments. In the present paper we give a simpler proof of this result, using the (1-component) boson–fermion correspondence. Moreover, we show that this approach can be applied to the s-component KP hierarchy, using the s-component boson–fermion correspondence, finding thereby all its polynomial tau-functions. We also find all polynomial tau-functions for the reduction of the s-component KP hierarchy, associated to any partition consisting of s positive parts
