Abstract

In a recent paper we presented a truncation-type method of deriving Backlund transformations for ordinary differential equations. This method is based on a consideration of truncation as a mapping that preserves the locations of a natural subset of the movable poles that the equation possesses. Here we apply this approach to the third and fifth Painleve equations. For the third Painleve equation we are able to obtain all fundamental Backlund transformations for the case where the parameters satisfy $γδ\neq0$. For the fifth Painleve equation our approach yields what appears to be all known Backlund transformations.

On vector Schwarz-KdV equation

A collection of miscellaneous continuous, semi-discrete, and discrete integrable systems can be associated with each integrable evolution equation of the KdV type. We give them for the Schwarz--KdV equation and generalize to the vector case. The existence of these vector generalizations is a non-trivial experimental fact for which no mathematical explanation is yet known.

An integrable $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded extension of Camassa-Holm equation and its bi-Hamiltonian structure

By constructing Lax operators in the loop algebra of the $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded extension of the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$, we derive a $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded extension of the Camassa-Holm equation. The resulting equation is an integrable nonlinear PDE for a system of four $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded commutative functions, each associated with a distinct $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-degree. We further show that the $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-Camassa-Holm equation admits a bi-Hamiltonian structure. As a consequence, it possesses infinitely many conserved quantities, including one with non-trivial $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-degree, which are mutually in involution with respect to the $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-graded Poisson brackets.

Integrability of the deformed Toda systems

In 2020 M. Mucciconi and L. Petrov introduced a long-range deformation of the quantum open non-relativistic Toda system. We prove the integrability of the deformed Toda system by constructing a $2 \times 2$ Lax operator, which produces the commutative family of differential operators containing the Hamiltonian of the deformed Toda system. Moreover, we show that the same integrable deformation exists on both classical and quantum levels and can be applied to both non-relativistic and relativistic Toda systems. For the open non-relativistic deformed Toda systems we also present an $n \times n$ Lax matrix and prove that it produces the same family of Hamiltonians. We also show how to obtain the van Diejen-type deformed Toda system. Lastly, we show that on the quantum level the algebraic Bethe ansatz technique can be applied to the deformed Toda system.
