Looped Cotangent Virasoro Algebra and Non-linear Integrable Systems in Dimension 2 + 1
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider a Lie algebra generalizing the Virasoro algebra to the case of two space variables. We study its coadjoint representation and calculate the corresponding Euler equations. In particular, we obtain a bi-Hamiltonian system that leads to an integrable non-linear partial differential equation. This equation is an analogue of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (of type B) equation.

Bi-Hamiltonian nature of the equation u_tx=u_xyu_y-u_yyu_x
We study non-linear integrable partial differential equations naturally arising as bi-Hamiltonian Euler equations related to the looped cotangent Virasoro algebra. This infinite-dimensional Lie algebra (constructed in [16]) is a generalization of the classical Virasoro algebra to the case of two space variables. Two main examples of integrable equations we obtain are quite well known. We show t...
متن کاملA diffeomorphism anomaly in every dimension
Field-theoretic pure gravitational anomalies only exist in 4k+2 dimensions. However, canonical quantization of non-field-theoretic systems may give rise to diffeomorphism anomalies in any number of dimensions. I present a simple example, where a higher-dimensional generalization of the Virasoro algebra arises upon quantization. The Polyakov action in string theory is nothing but 1+1-dimensional...
متن کاملq - Virasoro Algebra and the Point - Splitting
It is shown that a particular q-deformation of the Virasoro algebra can be interpreted in terms of the q-local field Φ(x) and the Schwinger-like point-splitted Virasoro currents, quadratic in Φ(x). The q-deformed Virasoro algebra possesses an additional index α, which is directly related to point-splitting of the currents. The generators in the q-deformed case are found to exactly reproduce the...
متن کاملLie Symmetries, Kac-Moody-Virasoro Algebras and Integrability of Certain (2+1)-Dimensional Nonlinear Evolution Equations
In this paper we study Lie symmetries, Kac-Moody-Virasoro algebras, similarity reductions and particular solutions of two different recently introduced (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equations, namely (i) (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation and (ii) (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger type equation introduced by Zakharov and studied later by Strachan. Interestingly our studie...
متن کاملDiscrete Lagrangian Systems And
We show that the continuous limit of a wide natural class of the right-invariant discrete Lagrangian systems on the Virasoro group gives the family of integrable PDE's containing Camassa-Holm, Hunter-Saxton and Korteweg-de Vries equations. This family has been recently derived by Khesin and Misio lek as Euler equations on the Virasoro algebra for H 1 α,β-metrics. Our result demonstrates a unive...
