Completely Integrable Systems Associated with Classical Root Systems

We study integrals of completely integrable quantum systems associated with classical root systems. We review integrals of the systems invariant under the corresponding Weyl group and as their limits we construct enough integrals of the non-invariant systems, which include systems whose complete integrability will be first established in this paper. We also present a conjecture claiming that the quantum systems with enough integrals given in this note coincide with the systems that have the integrals with constant principal symbols corresponding to the homogeneous generators of the $B_n$-invariants. We review conditions supporting the conjecture and give a new condition assuring it.Comment: This is a contribution to the Vadim Kuznetsov Memorial Issue on Integrable Systems and Related Topics, published in SIGMA (Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications) at http://www.emis.de/journals/SIGMA

Operator pencil passing through a given operator

Let $\Delta$ be a linear differential operator acting on the space of densities of a given weight \lo on a manifold $M$. One can consider a pencil of operators \hPi(\Delta)=\{\Delta_\l\} passing through the operator $\Delta$ such that any \Delta_\l is a linear differential operator acting on densities of weight \l. This pencil can be identified with a linear differential operator \hD acting on the algebra of densities of all weights. The existence of an invariant scalar product in the algebra of densities implies a natural decomposition of operators, i.e. pencils of self-adjoint and anti-self-adjoint operators. We study lifting maps that are on one hand equivariant with respect to divergenceless vector fields, and, on the other hand, with values in self-adjoint or anti-self-adjoint operators. In particular we analyze the relation between these two concepts, and apply it to the study of \diff(M)-equivariant liftings. Finally we briefly consider the case of liftings equivariant with respect to the algebra of projective transformations and describe all regular self-adjoint and anti-self-adjoint liftings.Comment: 32 pages, LaTeX fil

Operator matrices as generators of cosine operator functions

We introduce an abstract setting that allows to discuss wave equations with time-dependent boundary conditions by means of operator matrices. We show that such problems are well-posed if and only if certain perturbations of the same problems with homogeneous, time-independent boundary conditions are well-posed. As applications we discuss two wave equations in $L^p(0,1)$ and in $L^2(\Omega)$ equipped with dynamical and acoustic-like boundary conditions, respectively
