Differential Operators,Symmetries and the Inverse Problem for Second-Order Differential Equations

Abstract

With each second-order differential equation Z in the evolution space J ¹(M _n+1) we associate, using the natural f(3, ?1)-structure and the f(3, 1)-structure K, a group of automorphisms of the tangent bundle T (J ¹(M _n+1)), with isomorphic to a dihedral group of order 8. Using the elements of and the Lie derivative, we introduce new differential operators on J ¹(M _n+1) and new types of symmetries of Z. We analyze the relations between the operators and the “dynamical” connection induced by Z. Moreover, we analyze the relations between the various symmetries, also in connection with the inverse problem for Z. Both the approach based on the Poincaré–Cartan two forms and the one relying on the introduction of the so-called metrics compatible with Z are explicitly worked out.

On (2)-relative cohomology of the Lie algebra of vector fields and differential operators

Abstract

Let Vect(?) be the Lie algebra of smooth vector fields on ?. The space of symbols Pol(T*?) admits a non-trivial deformation (given by differential operators on weighted densities) as a Vect(?)-module that becomes trivial once the action is restricted to (2) ? Vect(?). The deformations of Pol(T*?), which become trivial once the action is restricted to (2) and such that the Vect(?)-action on them is expressed in terms of differential operators, are classified by the elements of the weight basis of , where denotes the differential cohomology (i.e., we consider only cochains that are given by differential operators) and where D _λ,μ = Homdiff(F _λ, F _μ) is the space of differential operators acting on weighted densities. The main result of this paper is computation of this cohomology. In addition to relative cohomology, we exhibit 2-cocycles spanning and (2).     

The Shapovalov Determinant for the Poisson Superalgebras

Abstract

Among simple ?-graded Lie superalgebras of polynomial growth, there are several which have no Cartan matrix but, nevertheless, have a quadratic even Casimir element C ₂: these are the Lie superalgebra of vector fields on the (1|6)-dimensional supercircle preserving the contact form, and the series: the finite dimensional Lie superalgebra of special Hamiltonian fields in 2k odd indeterminates, and the Kac–Moody version of . Using C ₂ we compute N. Shapovalov determinant for and , and for the Poisson superalgebras associated with . A. Shapovalov described irreducible finite dimensional representations of and ; we generalize his result for Verma modules: give criteria for irreducibility of the Verma modules over and      

Connection between the ideals generated by traces and by supertraces in the superalgebras of observables of Calogero models

If G is a finite Coxeter group, then symplectic reflection algebra H := H_1,η (G) has Lie algebra of inner derivations and can be decomposed under spin: H = H₀ ⊕ H_1/2 ⊕ H₁ ⊕ H_3/2 ⊕ …?We show that if the ideals of all the vectors from the kernel of degenerate bilinear forms B_i(x, y) := sp_i (x · y), where sp_i are (super)traces on H, do exist, then if and only if .     

A note on Bernoulli polynomials and solitons

Abstract

The dependence on time of the moments of the one-soliton KdV solutions is given by Bernoulli polynomials. Namely, we prove the formula expressing the moments of the one-soliton function sech²(x-t) in terms of the Bernoulli polynomials Bn(x). We also provide an alternative short proof to the Grosset-Veselov formula connecting the one-soliton to the Bernoulli numbers (D?=?d/dx) published recently in this journal.     

Geometry of Real Forms of the Complex Neumann System

In the paper, we study real forms of the complex generic Neumann system. We prove that the real forms are completely integrable Hamiltonian systems. The complex Neumann system is an example of the more general Mumford system. The Mumford system is characterized by the Lax pair (L^?(λ), M^?(λ)) of 2 × 2 matrices, where and U^?(λ), V^?(λ), W^?(λ) are suitable polynomials. The topology of a regular level set of the moment map of a real form is determined by the positions of the roots of the suitable real form of U^?(λ), with respect to the position of the values of suitable parameters of the system. For two families of the real forms of the complex Neumann system, we describe the topology of the regular level set of the moment map. For one of these two families the level sets are noncompact.

In the paper, we also give the formula which provides the relation between two systems of the ?rst integrals in involution of the Neumann system. One of these systems is obtained from the Lax pair of the Mumford type, while the second is obtained from the Lax pair whose matrices are of dimension (n+1) × (n+1).
