Recursion Operators for Dispersionless KP Hierarchy

Based on the corresponding theorem between dispersionless KP(dKP)hierarchy and -dependent KP ( KP) hierarchy, a general formal representation of the recursion operators for dKP hierarchy under n-reduction is given in a systematical way from the corresponding KP hierarchy. To illustrate this method, the recursion operators for dKP hierarchy under 2-reduction and 3-reduction are calculated in detail.     

Recursion operators and Hamiltonian structures in Sato's theory

Following Sato's famous construction of the KP hierarchy as a hierarchy of commuting Lax equations on the algebra of microdifferential operators, it is shown that n-reduction leads to a recursive scheme for these equations. Explicit expressions for the recursion operators and the Hamiltonian operators are obtained.     

RECURSION OPERATORS FOR KP,mKP AND HARRY DYM HIERARCHIES

In this paper, we give a unified construction of the recursion operators from the Lax representation for three integrable hierarchies: Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP), modified Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (mKP) and Harry Dym under n-reduction. This shows a new inherent relationship between them. To illustrate our construction, the recursion operator are calculated explicitly for 2-reduction and 3-reduction.     

Topological Landau-Ginzburg theory with a rational potential and the dispersionless KP hierarchy

Based on the dispersionless KP (dKP) theory, we study a topological Landau-Ginzburg (LG) theory characterized by a rational potential. Writing the dKP hierarchy in a general form treating all the primaries in an equal basis, we find that the hierarchy naturally includes the dispersionless (continuous) limit of Toda hierarchy and its generalizations having a finite number of primaries. Several flat solutions of the topological LG theory are obtained in this formulation, and are identified with those discussed by Dubrovin. We explicitly construct gravitational descendants for all the primary fields. Giving a residue formulae for the 3-point functions of the fields, we show that these 3-point functions satisfy the topological recursion relation. The string equation is obtained as the generalized hodograph solutions of the dKP hierarchy, which show that all the gravitational effects to the constitutive equations (2-point functions) can be renormalized into the coupling constants in the small phase space.

The quasiclassical limit of the symmetry constraint of the KP hierarchy and the dispersionless KP hierarchy with self-consistent sources

Abstract

For the first time we show that the quasiclassical limit of the symmetry constraint of the Sato operator for the KP hierarchy leads to the generalized Zakharov reduction of the Sato function for the dispersionless KP (dKP) hierarchy which has been proved to be result of symmetry constraint of the dKP hierarchy recently. By either regarding the symmetry constrained dKP hierarchy as its stationary case or taking the dispersionless limit of the KP hierarchy with self-consistent sources directly, we construct a new integrable dispersionless hierarchy, i.e., the dKP hierarchy with self-consistent sources and find its associated conservation equations (or equations of Hamilton-Jacobi type). Some solutions of the dKP equation with self-consistent sources are also obtained by hodograph transformations.     

On Recursion Operator of the q-KP Hierarchy

It is the aim of the present article to give a general expression of flow equations of the q-KP hierarchy. The distinct difference between the q-KP hierarchy and the KP hierarchy is due to q-binomial and the action of q-shift operator θ, which originates from the Leibnitz rule of the quantum calculus. We further show that the n-reduction leads to a recursive scheme for these flow equations. The recursion operator for the flow equations of the q-KP hierarchy under the n-reduction is also derived.     

An extended integrable fractional-order KP soliton hierarchy

In this Letter, we consider the modified derivatives and integrals of fractional-order pseudo-differential operators. A sequence of Lax KP equations hierarchy and extended fractional KP (fKP) hierarchy are introduced, and the fKP hierarchy has Lax presentations with the extended Lax operators. In the case of the extension with the half-order pseudo-differential operators, a new integrable fKP hierarchy is obtained. A few particular examples of fractional order will be listed, together with their Lax pairs.     

Krichever Maps,Faà di Bruno Polynomials,and Cohomology in KP Theory

We study the geometrical meaning of the Faà di Bruno polynomials in the context of KP theory. They provide a basis in a subspace W of the universal Grassmannian associated to the KP hierarchy. When W comes from geometrical data via the Krichever map, the Faà di Bruno recursion relation turns out to be the cocycle condition for (the Welters hypercohomology group describing) the deformations of the dynamical line bundle on the spectral curve together with the meromorphic sections which give rise to the Krichever map. Starting from this, one sees that the whole KP hierarchy has a similar cohomological meaning.     

On the recursion operator for the KP hierarchy in two and three spatial dimensions

A new recursion operator generating the KP hierarchy is found. Much simpler than the one previously known, it possesses all the good canonical properties and generates the elementary Bäcklund transformation. This operator naturally suggests a canonical recursion operator in 3+1 dimensions generating a bihamiltonian hierarchy of nonlinear evolution equations, their Bäcklund transformation and nonlinear superposition principle.     

Virasoro constraints and polynomial recursion for the linear Hodge integrals

The Hodge tau-function is a generating function for the linear Hodge integrals. It is also a tau-function of the KP hierarchy. In this paper, we first present the Virasoro constraints for the Hodge tau-function in the explicit form of the Virasoro equations. The expression of our Virasoro constraints is simply a linear combination of the Virasoro operators, where the coefficients are restored from a power series for the Lambert W function. Then, using this result, we deduce a simple version of the Virasoro constraints for the linear Hodge partition function, where the coefficients are restored from the Gamma function. Finally, we establish the equivalence relation between the Virasoro constraints and polynomial recursion formula for the linear Hodge integrals.     

Two-reduction of the super-KP hierarchy

Recursion relations are established for the residues of fractional powers of a two-reduced super-KP operator making use of the Baker-Akhiezer function. These show the integrability of the two-reduced even (or bosonic) flows of the super-KP hierarchy. Similar recursion relations are also proven for the residues of operators associated with the odd (or fermionic) flows of the Mulase-Rabin super-KP hierarchy. Due to the presence of a spectral parameter and its fermionic partner in the Baker-Akhiezer function, these recursion relations should be relevant to any attempt to prove or disprove a recent proposal that the integrable hierarchy underlying two-dimensional quantum supergravity is the Mulase-Rabin super-KP hierarchy.     

Pseudodifferential Operators of Several Variables and Baker Functions

The KP hierarchy consists of an infinite system of nonlinear partial differential equations and is determined by Lax equations, which can be constructed using pseudodifferential operators. The KP hierarchy and the associated Lax equations can be generalized by using pseudodifferential operators of several variables. We construct Baker functions associated to those generalized Lax equations of several variables and prove some of the properties satisfied by such functions.     

Nonabelian KP hierarchy with Moyal algebraic coefficients

A higher dimensional analogue of the KP hierarchy is presented. Fundamental constituents of the theory are pseudo-differential operators with Moyal algebraic coefficients. The new hierarchy can be interpreted as large-N limit of multi-component (gl (N) symmetric) KP hierarchies. Actually, two different hierarchies are constructed. The first hierarchy consists of commuting flows and may be thought of as a straightforward extension of the ordinary and multi-component KP hierarchies. The second one is a hierarchy of noncommuting flows, and related to Moyal algebraic deformations of selfdual gravity. Both hierarchies turn out to possess quasi-classical limit, replacing Moyal algebraic structures by Poisson algebraic structures. The language of W-infinity algebras provides a unified point of view to these results.     

The N=2 Supersymmetric Matrix GNLS Hierarchies

We construct the matrix generalization of the N=2 supersymmetric GNLS hierarchies. This is done by exhibiting the corresponding matrix super Lax operators in terms of N=2 superfields in two different superfield bases. We present the second Hamiltonian structure and discrete symmetries. We then extend our discussion by conjecturing the Lax operators of different reductions of the N=2 supersymmetric matrix KP hierarchy and discuss the simplest examples.     

A note on the super Krichever map

We consider the geometrical aspects of the Krichever map in the context of Jacobian super KP hierarchy. We use the representation of the hierarchy based on the Faà di Bruno recursion relations, considered as the cocycle condition for the natural double complex associated with the deformations of super Krichever data. Our approach is based on the construction of the universal super divisor (of degree g), and a local universal family of geometric data which give the map into the Super Grassmannian.     

NijenhuisG-manifolds and Lenard bicomplexes: A new approach to KP systems

We suggest a method to extend the theory of recursion operators to integrable Hamiltonian systems in two-space dimensions, like KP systems. The approach aims to stress the conceptual unity of the theories in one and two space dimensions. A sound explanation of the appearance of bilocal operators is also given.Work supported in part by the Italian Ministry of Public Education and by the G.N.F.M. of the Italian C.N.R.     

Virasoro symmetry of constrained KP hierarchies

The conventional formulation of additional nonisospectral sysmmetries for the full Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) integrable hierarchy is not compatible with the reduction to the important class of constrained KP (cKP) integrable models. This paper solves explicitly the problem of compatibility of the Virasoro part of additional symmetries with the underlying constraints of cKP hierarchies. Our construction involves an appropriate modification of the standard additional-symmetry flows by adding a set of “ghost symmetry” flows. We also discuss the special case of cKP — truncated KP hierarchies, obtained as Darboux-Bäcklund orbits of initial purely differential Lax operators. Our construction establishes the condition for commutativity of the additional-symmetry flows with the discrete Darboux-Bäcklund transformations of cKP hierarchies leading to a new derivation of the string-equation constraint in matrix models.     

An Invariance for (2+1)-Extension of Burgers Equation and Formulae to Obtain Solutions of KP Equation

In this article, we study the (2+1)-extension of Burgers equation and the KP equation. At first, based on a known Bäcklund transformation and corresponding Lax pair, an invariance which depends on two arbitrary functions for (2+1)-extension of Burgers equation is worked out. Given a known solution and using the invariance, we can find solutions of the (2+1)-extension of Burgers equation repeatedly. Secondly, we put forward an invariance of Burgers equation which cannot be directly obtained by constraining the invariance of the (2+1)-extension of Burgers equation. Furthermore, we reveal that the invariance for finding the solutions of Burgers equation can help us find the solutions of KP equation. At last, based on the invariance of Burgers equation, the corresponding recursion formulae for finding solutions of KP equation are digged out. As the application of our theory, some examples have been put forward in this article and some solutions of the (2+1)-extension of Burgers equation, Burgers equation and KP equation are obtained.
