New integrable lattice hierarchies

In this Letter we give a new integrable four-field lattice hierarchy, associated to a new discrete spectral problem. We obtain our hierarchy as the compatibility condition of this spectral problem and an associated equation, constructed herein, for the time-evolution of eigenfunctions. We consider reductions of our hierarchy, which also of course admit discrete zero curvature representations, in detail. We find that our hierarchy includes many well-known integrable hierarchies as special cases, including the Toda lattice hierarchy, the modified Toda lattice hierarchy, the relativistic Toda lattice hierarchy, and the Volterra lattice hierarchy. We also obtain here a new integrable two-field lattice hierarchy, to which we give the name of Suris lattice hierarchy, since the first equation of this hierarchy has previously been given by Suris. The Hamiltonian structure of the Suris lattice hierarchy is obtained by means of a trace identity formula.     

Bi-Hamiltonian structure of the extended noncommutative Toda hierarchy

The noncommutative Toda hierarchy is studied with the help of Moyal deformation by a reduction on the non-commutative two dimensional Toda hierarchy. Further we generalize the noncommutative Toda hierarchy to the extended noncommutative Toda hierarchy. To survey on its integrability, we construct the bi-Hamiltonian structure and noncommutative conserved densities of the extended noncommutative Toda hierarchy by means of the R-matrix formalism. This extended noncommutative Toda hierarchy can be reduced to the extended multicomponent Toda hierarchy, extended Z_N?-Toda hierarchy, extended Toda hierarchy respectively by reductions on Lie algebras.     

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.     

Gauge Transformation for BCr-KP Hierarchy and Its Compatibility with Additional Symmetry

The BCr-KP hierarchy is an important sub-hierarchy of the KP hierarchy. In this paper, the BCr-KP hierarchy is investigated from three aspects. Firstly, we study the gauge transformation for the BCr-KP hierarchy.Different from the KP hierarchy, the gauge transformation must keep the constraint of the BCr-KP hierarchy. Secondly,we study the gauge transformation for the constrained BCr-KP hierarchy. In this case, the constraints of the Lax operator must be invariant under the gauge transformation. At last, the compatibility between the additional symmetry and the gauge transformation for the BCr-KP hierarchy is explored.     

A Lattice Hierarchy with a Free Function and Its Reductions to the Ablowitz-Ladik and Volterra Hierarchies

By embedding a free function into a compatible zero curvature equation, we propose a lattice hierarchy with the free function which still admits zero curvature representation. It is interesting that the hierarchy can reduce the Ablowitz-Ladik hierarchy, the Volterra hierarchy and a new hierarchy by properly choosing the embedded function. Moreover, the new hierarchy is integrable in Liouville’s sense and possess multi-Hamiltonian structure.     

Recursion Operators for Dispersionless KP Hierarchy

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

An so (3, ℝ) Counterpart of the Dirac Soliton Hierarchy and its Bi-Integrable Couplings

We derive a counterpart hierarchy of the Dirac soliton hierarchy from zero curvature equations associated with a matrix spectral problem from so (3, ?). Inspired by a special class of non-semisimple loop algebras, we construct a hierarchy of bi-integrable couplings for the counterpart soliton hierarchy. By applying the variational identities which cope with the enlarged Lax pairs, we generate the corresponding Hamiltonian structure for the hierarchy of the resulting bi-integrable couplings. To show Liouville integrability, infinitely many commuting symmetries and conserved densities are presented for the counterpart soliton hierarchy and its hierarchy of bi-integrable couplings.     

The relation between the Toda hierarchy and the KdV hierarchy

Under three relations connecting the field variables of Toda flows and that of KdV flows, we present three new sequences of combinations of the equations in the Toda hierarchy which have the KdV hierarchy as a continuous limit. The relation between the Poisson structures of the KdV hierarchy and the Toda hierarchy in the continuous limit is also studied.     

The extended trace identity and its application

The trace identity is extended to the general loop algebra. The Hamiltonian structures of the integrable systems concerning vector spectral problems and the multi-component integrable hierarchy can be worked out by using the extended trace identity. As its application, we have obtained the Hamiltonian structures of the Yang hierarchy, the Korteweg-de--Vries (KdV) hierarchy, the multi-component Ablowitz--Kaup--Newell--Segur (M-AKNS) hierarchy, the multi-component Ablowitz--Kaup--Newell--Segur Kaup--Newell (M-AKNS--KN) hierarchy and a new multi-component integrable hierarchy separately.     

A differential-difference hierarchy associated with relativistic Toda and Volterra hierarchies

By embedding a free function into a compatible zero curvature equation, we enlarge the original differential-difference hierarchy into a new hierarchy with the free function which still admits zero curvature representation. The new hierarchy not only includes the original hierarchy, but also the well-known relativistic Toda hierarchy and the Volterra hierarchy as special reductions by properly choosing the free function. Infinitely many conservation laws and Darboux transformation for a representative differential-difference system are constructed based on its Lax representation. The exact solutions follow by applying the Darboux transformation.     

Toda lattice realization of integrable hierarchies

We present a new realization of scalar integrable hierarchies in terms of the Toda lattice hierarchy. In other words, we show on a large number of examples that an integrable hierarchy, defined by a pseudo-differential Lax operator, can be embedded in the Toda lattice hierarchy. Such a realization in terms the Toda lattice hierarchy seems to be as general as the Drinfeld-Sokolov realization.     

Algebraic study on the super-KP hierarchy and the ortho-symplectic super-KP hierarchy

Bilinear residue formulas are established for the super-KP hierarchy and the ortho-symplectic super-KP hierarchy. Furthermore, superframes corresponding to the ortho-symplectic super-KP hierarchy are completely characterized. Soliton solutions to the super-KP hierarchy are given.     

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.     

WDVV equation and triple-product relation

We study the relation between the WDVV equations and the τ-function of the noncommutative KP (NCKP) hierarchy. WDVV-like equations (Hirota triple-product relation) in the noncommutative context appear as a consequence of the nontrivial equation for τ-function of the NC KP hierarchy, while the prepotential in the Seiberg–Witten (SW) theory has been identified to the τ-function of the Whitham hierarchy. We show that the spectral curve for the SW theory is the same as the Toda-chain hierarchy. We also show explicitly that Whitham hierarchy includes commutative Toda/KP hierarchy. Further, we comment on the origin of the Hirota triple-product relation in the context of the SW theory.     

A Multi-component Matrix Loop Algebra and Its Application

A set of multi-component matrix Lie algebra is constructed. It follows that a type of new loop algebra AM-1 is presented. An isospectral problem is established. Integrable multi-component hierarchy is obtained by Tu pattern, which possesses tri-Hamiltonian structures. Furthermore, it can be reduced to the well-known AKNS hierarchy and BPT hierarchy. Therefore, the major result of this paper can be regarded as a unified expression integrable model of the AKNS hierarchy and the BPT hierarchy.     

Hierarchy of equations for reduced density matrices in the case of thermodynamic equilibrium

A hierarchy of equations for s-particle density matrices at thermodynamic equilibrium is obtained, with the equation for the nonequilibrium density matrix as the starting point. When deducing the hierarchy the hypothesis of maximum statistical independence for the density matrices is used. The hierarchy obtained is an analogue of the classical equilibrium BBGKY hierarchy and goes over into it when . It is shown that thermodynamic quantities can be expressed in terms of functions that enter only into the first hierarchy equations. The hierarchy is analysed in detail in the case of a uniform fluid. As an example in which the equations can be solved easily enough, a hard-sphere system wherein triplet correlations are neglected is considered. Different approximations that can be used when solving the equations derived are discussed. Comparisons are made with the results of other theoretical treatments.

Integrable Rosochatius deformations of finite-dimensional integrable systems are generalized to the soliton hierarchy with self-consistent sources. The integrable Rosochatius deformations of the Kaup-Newell hierarchy with self-consistent sources, of the TD hierarchy with self-consistent sources, and of the Jaulent-Miodek hierarchy with self-consistent sources, together with their Lax representations are presented.     

Conservation laws and self-consistent sources for a super-CKdV equation hierarchy

From the super-matrix Lie algebras, we consider a super-extension of the CKdV equation hierarchy in the present Letter, and propose the super-CKdV hierarchy with self-consistent sources. Furthermore, we establish the infinitely many conservation laws for the integrable super-CKdV hierarchy.
