Abstract

We generalize the Benney lattice and show that the new system of equations can be reduced to a generalized Chaplygin gas as well as the heavenly equation. We construct two infinite sets of conserved charges and show that one of the sets can be obtained from the Lax function. The conserved densities are related to Legendre polynomials and we present closed form expressions for the generating functions for these densities which also determines the Riemann invariants of the problem. We prove that the system is bi-Hamiltonian and that the conserved charges are in involution with respect to either of the Hamiltonian structures. We show that the associated generalized elastic medium equations are bi-Hamiltonian as well. We also bring out various other interesting features of our model.

Elliptic solutions to matrix CKP equation

A class of elliptic solutions to the matrix CKP equation is studied. Equations of motion for their poles and matrix coefficients at the poles are obtained. As in the scalar case, they are of the first order, in contrast to what takes place in the KP and BKP hierarchies, where the equations of motion are of the second order.

On integrals of non-autonomous dynamical systems in finite characteristic

We use a difference Lax form to construct simultaneous integrals of motion of the fourth Painlevé equation and the difference second Painlevé equation over fields with finite characteristic $p>0$. For $p\neq 3$, we show that the integrals can be normalised to be completely invariant under the corresponding extended affine Weyl group action. We show that components of reducible fibres of integrals correspond to reductions to Riccatti equations. We further describe a method to construct non-rational algebraic solutions in a given positive characteristic. We also discuss a projective reduction of the integrals.

On equivalence between solution structures of the anti-self-dual Yang--Mills equations

We establish an exact correspondence between the quasi-Wronskian and quasi-Grammian constructions for the anti-self-dual Yang--Mills (ASDYM) equations with complex $2\times2$ matrix-valued fields. Starting from vacuum wave functions associated with $2M$ pairwise distinct nonzero constant spectral parameters, we restrict attention to a nonempty local domain on which the corresponding interpolation matrix is invertible. We show that both constructions are governed by the same uniquely solvable matrix-polynomial interpolation problem. In particular, the quasi-Wronskian Darboux polynomial $T(λ)$ and the quasi-Grammian rational dressing matrix $W(λ)$ satisfy \[ T(λ)=q_ξ(λ)W(λ), \] where $q_ξ(λ)$ is the monic scalar polynomial whose zeros are the prescribed poles of $W(λ)$. This identity yields explicit relations between the corresponding Yang and potential matrices and shows that the two constructions generate identical ASDYM gauge potentials in the same gauge.
