The Recursion operators of the BKP hierarchy and the CKP Hierarchy

Abstract

In this paper, under the constraints of the BKP(CKP) hierarchy, a crucial observation is that the odd dynamical variable $u_{2k+1}$ can be explicitly expressed by the even dynamical variable $u_{2k}$ in the Lax operator $L$ through a new operator $B$. Using operator $B$, the essential differences between the BKP hierarchy and the CKP hierarchy are given by the flow equations and the recursion operators under the $(2n+1)$-reduction. The formal formulas of the recursion operators for the BKP and CKP hierarchy under $(2n+1)$-reduction are given. To illustrate this method, the two recursion operators are constructed explicitly for the 3-reduction of the BKP and CKP hierarchies. The $t_7$ flows of $u_2$ are generated from $t_1$ flows by the above recursion operators, which are consistent with the corresponding flows generated by the flow equations under 3-reduction.Comment: 19 page
