The geometry of the super KP flows

A supersymmetric generalization of the Krichever map is used to construct algebro-geometric solutions to the various super Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (SKP) hierarchies. The geometric data required consist of a suitable algebraic supercurve of genusg (generallynot a super Riemann surface) with a distinguished point and local coordinates (z, ) there, and a generic line bundle of degreeg–1 with a local trivialization near the point. The resulting solutions to the Manin-Radul SKP system describe coupled deformations of the line bundle and the supercurve itself, in contrast to the ordinary KP system which deforms line bundles but not curves. Two new SKP systems are introduced: an integrable Jacobian system whose solutions describe genuine Jacobian flows, deforming the bundle but not the curve; and a nonintegrable maximal system describing independent deformations of bundle and curve. The Kac-van de Leur SKP system describes the same deformations as the maximal system, but in a different parametrization.     

On the constrained KP hierarchy

An explanation for the so-called constrained hierarchies is presented by linking them with the symmetries of the KP hierarchy. While the existence of ordinary symmetries (belonging to the hierarchy) allows one to reduce the KP hierarchy to the KdV hierarchies, the existence of additional symmetries allows one to reduce the KP to the constrained KP.     

On the Geometry of Darboux Transformations for the KP Hierarchy and its Connection with the Discrete KP Hierarchy

We tackle the problem of interpreting the Darboux transformation for the KP hierarchy and its relations with the modified KP hierarchy from a geometric point of view. This is achieved by introducing the concept of a Darboux covering. We construct a Darboux covering of the KP equations and obtain a new hierarchy of equations, which we call the Darboux-KP hierarchy (DKP). We employ the DKP equations to discuss the relationships among the KP equations, the modified KP equations, and the discrete KP equations. Our approach also handles the various reductions of the KP hierarchy. We show that the KP hierarchy is a projection of the DKP, the mKP hierarchy is a DKP restriction to a suitable invariant submanifold, and that the discrete KP equations are obtained as iterations of the DKP ones.

Modified KP and Discrete KP

The discrete KP, or l-Toda lattice hierarchy, is the same as a properly defined modified KP hierarchy.     

On Grassmannian description of the constrained KP hierarchy

This note develops an explicit construction of the constrained KP hierarchy within the Sato Grassmannian framework. Useful relations are established between the kernel elements of the underlying ordinary differential operator and the eigenfunctions of the associated KP hierarchy as well as between the related bilinear concomitant and the squared eigenfunction potential.     

On the structure of symmetry generators

In a field theoretic framework we investigate generators of symmetry transformations induced by conserved local, not necessarily translationally covariant currents. Assuming the invariance of the vacuum and a mass gap, it is shown that the generator on one-particle states in general can be any polynomial of the generators of the Poincaré group and the internal symmetries. We give an example showing that the generator, defined as an integral over a conserved current, in spite of leaving the vacuum invariant, need not be self-adjoint.Supported by a DAAD grant     

On additional symmetries of the KP hierarchy and Sato's Backlund transformation

A short proof is given to the fact that the additional symmetries of the KP hierarchy defined by their action on pseudodifferential operators according to Fuchssteiner-Chen-Lee-Lin-Orlov-Shulman coincide with those defined by their action on -functions as Sato's Bäcklund transformations. A new simple formula for the generator of additional symmetries is also presented.     

On the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources

The modified discrete KP equation is the Bäcklund transformation for the Hirota’s discrete KP equation or the Hirota-Miwa equation. We construct the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources via source generation procedure and clarify the algebraic structure of the resulting coupled modified discrete KP system by presenting its discrete Gram-type determinant solutions. It is also shown that the commutativity between the source generation procedure and Bäcklund transformation is valid for the discrete KP equation. Finally, we demonstrate that the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources yields the modified differential-difference KP equation with self-consistent sources through a continuum limit. The continuum limit of an explicit solution to the modified discrete KP equation with self-consistent sources also gives the explicit solution for the modified differential-difference KP equation with self-consistent sources.     

On rational solutions of multicomponent and matrix KP hierarchies

We derive some rational solutions for the multicomponent and matrix KP hierarchies generalising an approach by Wilson. Connections with the multicomponent version of the KP/CM correspondence are discussed.     

A Note on the Transformation of Variables of KP Equation,Cylindrical KP Equation and Spherical KP Equation

In a recent article(Commun. Theor. Phys. 67(2017) 207), three(2+1)-dimensional equations — KP equation, cylindrical KP equation and spherical KP equation, have been reduced to the same Kd V equation by using different transformation of variables, respectively. In this short note, by adding an adjustment item to original transformation, three more general transformation of variables corresponding to above three equations have been given.Substituting the solutions of the Kd V equation into our transformation of variables, more new exact solutions of the three(2+1)-dimensional equations can be obtained.     

Solitary Wave Solutions of KP equation,Cylindrical KP Equation and Spherical KP Equation

Three(2+1)-dimensional equations–KP equation, cylindrical KP equation and spherical KP equation, have been reduced to the same Kd V equation by different transformation of variables respectively. Since the single solitary wave solution and 2-solitary wave solution of the Kd V equation have been known already, substituting the solutions of the Kd V equation into the corresponding transformation of variables respectively, the single and 2-solitary wave solutions of the three(2+1)-dimensional equations can be obtained successfully.     

On the generators of quantum dynamical semigroups

The notion of a quantum dynamical semigroup is defined using the concept of a completely positive map. An explicit form of a bounded generator of such a semigroup onB() is derived. This is a quantum analogue of the Lévy-Khinchin formula. As a result the general form of a large class of Markovian quantum-mechanical master equations is obtained.     

Symmetries and symmetry reductions of the combined KP3 and KP4 equation

To find symmetries,symmetry groups and group invariant solutions are fundamental and significant in nonlinear physics.In this paper,the finite point symmetry group of the combined KP3 and KP4(CKP34) equation is found by means of a direct method.The related point symmetries can be obtained simply by taking the infinitesimal form of the finite point symmetry group.The point symmetries of the CKP34 equation constitute an infinite dimensional KacMoody-Virasoro algebra.The point symmetry invariant so...     

Miura and auto-Backlund transformations for the q-deformed KP and q-deformed modified KP hierarchies

The Miura and anti-Miura transformations between the q-deformed KP and the q-deformed modified KP hierarchies are investigated in this paper. Then the auto-Backlund transformations for the q-deformed KP and q-deformed modified KP hierarchies are constructed through the combinations of the Miura and anti-Miura transformations. And the corresponding results are also generalized to the constrained cases. At last, some examples of Miura and auto-Backlund transformations are given.     

On generalized Lax equation of the Lax triple of KP Hierarchy

In terms of the operator Nambu 3-bracket and the Lax pair (L, B_n) of the KP hierarchy, we propose the generalized Lax equation with respect to the Lax triple (L, B_n, B_m). The intriguing results are that we derive the KP equation and another integrable equation in the KP hierarchy from the generalized Lax equation with the different Lax triples (L, B_n, B_m). Furthermore we derive some no integrable evolution equations and present their single soliton solutions.     

On scattering of diffusion process generators

If a selfadjoint generator of a diffusion process is perturbed by nonnegative potentials different on a compact region of non-zero measure the corresponding wave operators exist and are asymptotically complete even if one potential is singular on the region considered. That includes the hardcore potential scattering problem for second-order elliptic differential operators with variable coefficients.     

On the geometry of master-slave synchronization

In 1990, Pecora and Carroll reported the observation that one can synchronize the orbits of two identical dynamical systems, which may be chaotic, by feeding state variables of one of them to the other one with no feedback, a phenomenon often called master-slave synchronization. We report here some results on the theory of master-slave synchronization for maps and flows, which are all inspired by a similar geometric and coordinate independent point of view to the one introduced in master-slave synchronization by Tresser, Worfolk, and Bass. Our results are variations on the theme that projection often can compensate for expansion.(c) 2002 American Institute of Physics.     

On the geometry of isomonodromic deformations

This note examines the geometry behind the Hamiltonian structure of isomonodromy deformations of connections on vector bundles over Riemann surfaces. The main point is that one should think of an open set of the moduli of pairs (V,∇)$(V,\nabla )$ of vector bundles and connections as being obtained by “twists” supported over points of a fixed vector bundle _V0$V_0$ with a fixed connection _∇0${\nabla }_0$; this gives two deformations, one, isomonodromic, of (V,∇)$(V,\nabla )$, and another induced from the isomonodromic deformation of (_V0,_∇0)$(V_0,{\nabla }_0)$. The difference between the two will be Hamiltonian.     

On the geometry of coset branes

Coset models and their symmetry preserving branes are studied from a representation theoretic perspective, relating e.g. the horizontal branching spaces to a truncation of the space of bulk fields, and accounting for field identification. This allows us to describe the fuzzy geometry of the branes at finite level.
