From Toda to KdV

چکیده
For periodic Toda chains with a large number N of particles we consider states which are N−2-close to the equilibrium and constructed by discretizing arbitrary given C2−functions with mesh size N−1. Our aim is to describe the spectrum of the Jacobi matrices LN appearing in the Lax pair formulation of the dynamics of these states as N → ∞. To this end we construct two Hill operators H± – such operators come up in the Lax pair formulation of the Korteweg-de Vries equation – and prove by methods of semiclassical analysis that the asymptotics as N → ∞ of the eigenvalues at the edges of the spectrum of LN are of the form ±(2− (2N)λn + · · · ) where (λn )n≥0 are the eigenvalues of H±. In the bulk of the spectrum, the eigenvalues are o(N−2)-close to the ones of the equilibrium matrix. As an application we obtain asymptotics of a similar type of the discriminant, associated to LN .

The main object of this paper is to produce a deformation of the KdV hierarchy of partial differential equations. We construct this deformation by taking a certain limit of the Toda hierarchy. This construction also provides a deformation of the Virasoro algebra.
متن کاملThe Toda Hierarchy and the Kdv Hierarchy
McKean and Trubowitz [2] showed that the theory of the KdV equation ∂ ∂t g(x, t) = ∂ 3 ∂x 3 g(x, t) − 6g(x, t) ∂g ∂x (x, t). is intimately related to the geometry of a related hyperelliptic curve of infinite genus, the Bloch spectrum B g t of the operator L g t : ψ → d 2 dx 2 ψ(x) + g(x, t)ψ(x), where g t = g(x, t). As was known classically, B g t is independent of t, when g(x, t) evolves accor...
متن کاملGeneralized N = 4 supersymmetric Toda lattice hierarchy and N = 4 superintegrable mapping
It is shown that the generalized N=4 supersymmetric Toda lattice hierarchy contains the N=4 super-KdV hierarchy with the first flow time in the role of space coordinate. Two different N=2 superfield form of the generalized N=4 TL equation which are useful when solving the N=4 KdV and (1,1)-GNLS hierarchies are discussed.
متن کاملN = 2 Toda and KdV systems in extended superspace
We give a gauge invariant formulation of N = 2 supersymmetric abelian Toda field equations in N = 2 superspace. Superconformal invariance is studied. The conserved currents are shown to be associated with Drinfeld-Sokolov type gauges. The extension to non-abelian N = 2 Toda equations is discussed. Very similar methods are then applied to a matrix formulation in N = 2 superspace of one of the N ...

متن کاملA Simple Proof of the Stability of Solitary Waves in the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam model near the KdV Limit
By combining results of Mizumachi on the stability of solitons for the Toda lattice with a simple rescaling and a careful control of the KdV limit we give a simple proof that small amplitude, long-wavelength solitary waves in the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) model are linearly stable and hence by the results of Friesecke and Pego that they are also nonlinearly, asymptotically stable.
