The Algebraic Structure of the Non-Commutative Nonlinear Schrodinger and Modified Korteweg-De Vries Hierarchy (original) (raw)

The algebraic structure behind the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2013

The Kaup-Newell (KN) hierarchy contains the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation (DNLSE) amongst others interesting and important nonlinear integrable equations. In this paper, a general higher grading affine algebraic construction of integrable hierarchies is proposed and the KN hierarchy is established in terms of aŝ 2 Kac-Moody algebra and principal gradation. In this form, our spectral problem is linear in the spectral parameter. The positive and negative flows are derived, showing that some interesting physical models arise from the same algebraic structure. For instance, the DNLSE is obtained as the second positive, while the Mikhailov model as the first negative flows, respectively. The equivalence between the latter and the massive Thirring model is explicitly demonstrated also. The algebraic dressing method is employed to construct soliton solutions in a systematic manner for all members of the hierarchy. Finally, the equivalence of the spectral problem introduced in this paper with the usual one, which is quadratic in the spectral parameter, is achieved by setting a particular automorphism of the affine algebra, which maps the homogeneous into principal gradation.

The non-commutative Korteweg–de Vries hierarchy and combinatorial Pöppe algebra

Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2022

We give a constructive proof, to all orders, that each member of the noncommutative potential Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy is a Fredholm Grassmannian flow and is therefore linearisable. Indeed we prove this for any linear combination of fields from this hierarchy. That each member of the hierarchy is linearisable, and integrable in this sense, means that the time evolving solution can be generated from the solution to the corresponding linear dispersion equation in the hierarchy, combined with solving an associated linear Fredholm equation representing the Marchenko equation. Further, we show that within the class of polynomial partial differential fields, at every order, each member of the non-commutative potential Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy is unique. Indeed, we prove to all orders, that each such member matches the noncommutative Lax hierarchy field, which is therefore a polynomial partial differential field. We achieve this by constructing the abstract combinatorial algebra that underlies the non-commutative potential Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy. This algebra is the non-commutative polynomial algebra over the real line generated by the set of all compositions endowed with the Pöppe product. This product is the abstract representation of the product rule for Hankel operators pioneered by Ch. Pöppe for integrable equations such as the Sine-Gordon and Korteweg-de Vries equations. Integrability of the hierarchy members translates, in the combinatorial algebra, to proving the existence of a 'Pöppe polynomial' expansion for basic compositions in terms of 'linear signature expansions'. Proving the existence of such Pöppe polynomial expansions boils down to solving a linear algebraic problem for the expansion coefficients, which we solve constructively to all orders.

A τ-Symmetry Algebra of the Generalized Derivative Nonlinear Schrödinger Soliton Hierarchy with an Arbitrary Parameter

Symmetry, 2018

A matrix spectral problem is researched with an arbitrary parameter. Through zero curvature equations, two hierarchies are constructed of isospectral and nonisospectral generalized derivative nonlinear schrödinger equations. The resulting hierarchies include the Kaup-Newell equation, the Chen-Lee-Liu equation, the Gerdjikov-Ivanov equation, the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation, the Sharma-Tasso-Olever equation and a new equation as special reductions. The integro-differential operator related to the isospectral and nonisospectral hierarchies is shown to be not only a hereditary but also a strong symmetry of the whole isospectral hierarchy. For the isospectral hierarchy, the corresponding τ -symmetries are generated from the nonisospectral hierarchy and form an infinite-dimensional symmetry algebra with the K-symmetries.

Notes on Exact Multi-Soliton Solutions of Noncommutative Integrable Hierarchies (Extended Version)

2007

We study exact multi-soliton solutions of integrable hierarchies on noncommutative spacetimes which are represented in terms of quasi-determinants of Wronski matrices by Etingof, Gelfand and Retakh. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the multi-soliton solutions and found that the asymptotic configurations in soliton scattering process can be all the same as commutative ones, that is, the configuration of N-soliton solution has N isolated localized energy densities and the each solitary wave-packet preserves its shape and velocity in the scattering process. The phase shifts are also the same as commutative ones. Furthermore noncommutative toroidal Gelfand-Dickey hierarchy is introduced and the exact multi-soliton solutions are given. In this extended version, we add proofs of some results by Etingof, Gelfand and Retakh, so that this paper becomes more self-contained. Discussion on conservation laws are also reviewed in an addtional section.

Towards noncommutative integrable equations

Arxiv preprint hep-th/0309265, 2003

We study the extension of integrable equations which possess the Lax representations to noncommutative spaces. We construct various noncommutative Lax equations by the Lax-pair generating technique and the Sato theory. The Sato theory has revealed essential aspects of the integrability of commutative soliton equations and the noncommutative extension is worth studying. We succeed in deriving various noncommutative hierarchy equations in the framework of the Sato theory, which is brand-new. The existence of the hierarchy would suggest a hidden infinite-dimensional symmetry in the noncommutative Lax equations. We finally show that a noncommutative version of Burgers equation is completely integrable because it is linearizable via noncommutative Cole-Hopf transformation. These results are expected to lead to the completion of the noncommutative Sato theory.

A novel noncommutative KdV-type equation, its recursion operator, and solitons

Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2018

A noncommutative KdV-type equation is introduced extending the Bäcklund chart in [4]. This equation, called meta-mKdV here, is linked by Cole-Hopf transformations to the two noncommutative versions of the mKdV equations listed in [22, Theorem 3.6]. For this meta-mKdV, and its mirror counterpart, recursion operators, hierarchies and an explicit solution class are derived.
