Multivariate lag-windows and group representations

Symmetries of the auto-cumulant function (a generalization of the auto-covariance function) of a kth-order stationary time series are derived through a connection with the symmetric group of degree k. Using the theory of group representations, symmetries of the auto-cumulant function are demystified and lag-window functions are symmetrized to satisfy these symmetries. A generalized Gabr–Rao optimal kernel is also derived through the developed theory.     

Symmetry Analysis of Differential Equations Using MATHLIE

A general procedure for solving ordinary differential equations of arbitrary order is discussed. The method used is based on symmetries of a differential equation. The known symmetries allow the derivation of first integrals of the equation. The knowledge of at least r symmetries of an ordinary differential equation of order n with r n is the basis for deriving the solution. Our aim is to show that Lie's theory is a useful tool for solving ordinary differential equations of higher orders. Bibliography: 12 titles.     

Solving Second-Order Differential Equations with Lie Symmetries

Lie"s theory for solving second-order quasilinear differential equations based on its symmetries is discussed in detail. Great importance is attached to constructive procedures that may be applied for designing solution algorithms. To this end Lie"s original theory is supplemented by various results that have been obtained after his death one hundred years ago. This is true above all of Janet"s theory for systems of linear partial differential equations and of Loewy"s theory for decomposing linear differential equations into components of lowest order. These results allow it to formulate the equivalence problems connected with Lie symmetries more precisely. In particular, to determine the function field in which the transformation functions act is considered as part of the problem. The equation that originally has to be solved determines the base field, i.e. the smallest field containing its coefficients. Any other field occurring later on in the solution procedure is an extension of the base field and is determined explicitly. An equation with symmetries may be solved in closed form algorithmically if it may be transformed into a canonical form corresponding to its symmetry type by a transformation that is Liouvillian over the base field. For each symmetry type a solution algorithm is described, it is illustrated by several examples. Computer algebra software on top of the type system ALLTYPES has been made available in order to make it easier to apply these algorithms to concrete problems.     

Locality of Symmetries Generated by Nonhereditary, Inhomogeneous, and Time-Dependent Recursion Operators: A New Application for Formal Symmetries

Using the methods of the theory of formal symmetries, we obtain new easily verifiable sufficient conditions for a recursion operator to produce a hierarchy of local generalized symmetries. An important advantage of our approach is that under certain mild assumptions it allows to bypass the cumbersome check of hereditariness of the recursion operator in question, what is particularly useful for the study of symmetries of newly discovered integrable systems. What is more, unlike the earlier work, the homogeneity of recursion operators and symmetries under a scaling is not assumed as well. An example of nonhereditary recursion operator generating a hierarchy of local symmetries is presented.     

A relationship between λ‐symmetries and first integrals for ordinary differential equations

In this paper, we provide some geometric properties of λ‐symmetries of ordinary differential equations using vector fields and differential forms. According to the corresponding geometric representation of λ‐symmetries, we conclude that first integrals can also be derived if the equations do not possess enough symmetries. We also investigate the properties of λ‐symmetries in the sense of the deformed Lie derivative and differential operator. We show that λ‐symmetries have the exact analogous properties as standard symmetries if we take into consideration the deformed cases.     

New origins of hidden symmetries for partial differential equations

Hidden symmetries of differential equations are point symmetries that arise unexpectedly in the increase (equivalently decrease) of order, in the case of ordinary differential equations, and variables, in the case of partial differential equations. The origins of Type II hidden symmetries (obtained via reduction) for ordinary differential equations are understood to be either contact or nonlocal symmetries of the original equation while the origin for Type I hidden symmetries (obtained via increase of order) is understood to be nonlocal symmetries of the original equation. Thus far, it has been shown that the origin of hidden symmetries for partial differential equations is point symmetries of another partial differential equation of the same order as the original equation. Here we show that hidden symmetries can arise from contact and nonlocal/potential symmetries of the original equation, similar to the situation for ordinary differential equations.     

Algebraic structure of local symmetries for two-dimensional superparticles on a curved external background

In this paper, a systematic analysis of the structure of local symmetries for(1, 0)- and(1, 1)-superparticles on a curved external background is carried out. Proceeding from the requirement of the correct number of first-and second-class constraints, the minimum set of restrictions on the background superfields is written, under which a correct inclusion of interaction is guaranteed. The most general form of local symmetries is found for models on this background. The resulting transformations involve contributions with torsion superfields, and the gauge algebra turns out to be off-shell closed and nontirivially deformed as compared to the planar case. The requirement of invariance of the action relative to the direct generalization of planar local symmetries implies the complete set of D=2 supergravity constraints on the superfields as restrictions on the background.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 106, No. 1, pp. 102–121, January, 1966.

Geometry of Solutions of the N=2 SYM Theory in Harmonic Superspace

The classical equations of motion of the D=4, N=2 supersymmetric Yang–Mills (SYM) theory for Minkowski and Euclidean spaces are analyzed in harmonic superspace. We study dual superfield representations of equations and subsidiary conditions corresponding to classical SYM solutions with different symmetries. In particular, alternative superfield constructions of self-dual and static solutions are described in the framework of the harmonic approach.     

Convection in a layer with sidewalls: bifurcation with reflection symmetries

We study the onset of steady two-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a bounded fluid layer of aspect ratio 2L, with rigid, insulating sidewalls. Using bifurcation theory and the reflection symmetries of the model, the problem is reduced to a normal form. The coefficients of the normal form are computed numerically, and their values determine the nature of secondary bifurcations of mixed mode convective solutions which possess no reflection symmetries. The effects of distant sidewalls (L large) as symmetry-breaking perturbations of the classical infinite-layer (L=) model are also discussed.Research supported in part by NSERC, Canada.     

Symmetry analysis of the charged squashed Kaluza–Klein black hole metric

In this research article, a complete analysis of symmetries and conservation laws for the charged squashed Kaluza–Klein black hole space‐time in a Riemannian space is discussed. First, a comprehensive group analysis of the underlying space‐time metric using Lie point symmetries is presented, and then the n‐dimensional optimal system of this space‐time metric, for n = 1,…,4, are computed. It is shown that there is no any n‐dimensional optimal system of Lie symmetry subalgebra associated to the system of geodesic for n≥5. Then the point symmetries of the one‐parameter Lie groups of transformations that leave invariant the action integral corresponding to the Lagrangian that means Noether symmetries are found, and then the conservation laws associated to the system of geodesic equations are calculated via Noether's theorem.

Nonlocal Symmetries for Bilinear Equations and Their Applications

In this paper, nonlocal symmetries for the bilinear KP and bilinear BKP equations are re-studied. Two arbitrary parameters are introduced in these nonlocal symmetries by considering gauge invariance of the bilinear KP and bilinear BKP equations under the transformation     . By expanding these nonlocal symmetries in power series of each of two parameters, we have derived two types of bilinear NKP hierarchies and two types of bilinear NBKP hierarchies. An impressive observation is that bilinear positive and negative KP (NKP) and BKP hierarchies may be derived from the same nonlocal symmetries for the KP and BKP equations. Besides, as two concrete examples, we have derived bilinear Bäcklund transformations for   t ₋₂  -flow of the NKP hierarchy and   t ₋₁  -flow of the NBKP hierarchy. All these results have made it clear that more nice integrable properties would be found for these obtained NKP hierarchies and NBKP hierarchies. Because KP and BKP hierarchies have played an essential role in soliton theory, we believe that the bilinear NKP and NBKP hierarchies will have their right place in this field.

We perform a complete analysis of all the Lie point symmetries admitted by the equation describing the axisymmetric spreading under gravity of a thin power-law liquid drop on a horizontal plane. We then investigate the existence of group-invariant solutions for particular values of the power-law parameter β.     

On the symmetries of a multicomponent water wave equation

A strong and hereditary symmetry operator for a multicomponent water wave equation is found which yields a hierarchy of classical symmetries. Furthermore it is shown that Eq. (3.1) possesses new symmetries which depend explicitly on the time-variablet and all of the symmetries for Eq. (3.1) form an infinitely dimensional Lie algebra.     

Symmetries of shallow water equations on a rotating plane

We consider a system of nonlinear differential equations which describes the spatial motion of an ideal incompressible fluid on a rotating plane in the shallow water approximation and a more general system of the theory of long waves which takes into account the specifics of shear flows. Using the group analysis methods, we calculate the 9-dimensional Lie algebras of infinitesimal operators admissible by the models. We establish an isomorphism of these Lie algebras with a known Lie algebra of operators admissible by the system of equations for the two-dimensional isentropic motions of a polytropic gas with the adiabatic exponent γ = 2. The nontrivial symmetries of the models under consideration enable us to carry out the group generation of the solutions. The class of stationary solutions to the equations of rotating shallow water transforms into a new class of periodic solutions.     

Twists of quantum groups and noncommutative field theory

We discuss the role of quantum universal enveloping algebras of symmetries in constructing the noncommutative geometry of space-time and the corresponding field theory. It is shown that in the framework of the twist theory of quantum groups, the noncommutative (super)space-time defined by coordinates with Heisenberg commutation relations is (super)Poincaré invariant, as well as the corresponding field theory. Noncommutative parameters of global transformations are introduced. Bibliography: 30 titles. __________ Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 335, 2006, pp. 188–204.     

P ∞ algebra of symmetries of the kadomtsev-petviashvili equation, free fermions, and 2-cocycles in the lie algebra of pseudo-differential operatorsalgebra of symmetries of the kadomtsev-petviashvili equation, free fermions, and 2-cocycles in the lie algebra of pseudo-differential operators

The symmetry algebraP _∞=W _∞ ⊕P ⊕I _∞ of integrable systems is defined. As an example, the classical Lie point symmetries of all higher Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations are obtained. It is shown that of the point symmetries, the (positive) ones belong to theW _∞ symmetries, while the other (negative) ones belong toI _∞ symmetries. The corresponding action on the τ-function is obtained for the positive symmetries. The negative symmetries cannot be obtained from the free fermion algebra. A new embedding of the Virasoro algebra intogl(∞) describes the conformal transformations of the KP time variables. A free fermion algebra cocycle is described as a PDO Lie algebra cocycle.

A periodicity theorem for the octahedron recurrence

The octahedron recurrence lives on a 3-dimensional lattice and is given by . In this paper, we investigate a variant of this recurrence which lives in a lattice contained in . Following Speyer, we give an explicit non-recursive formula for the values of this recurrence and use it to prove that it is periodic of period n+m. We then proceed to show various other hidden symmetries satisfied by this bounded octahedron recurrence. An earlier version of this work has circulated under the name “A coboundary category defined using the octahedron recurrence.”     

Comments on Some Algebraic Properties of the Gauge Equivalent Soliton Equations

In references to [1], [2], a theory is proposed for generating the constants of motion, the symmetries and their Lie algebra for some dynamical systems, where three parameters α, β are introduced. In this paper, we have proved that if the soliton equations in dynamical systems are gauge equivalent, then the parameters α, β, h are invariant and the Lie algebra of the symmetries is isomophic under the transformation operator. At last some interesting examples are given.
