Additional symmetries of the extended bigraded Toda hierarchy

Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems 2015-12-31 v2 Quantum Algebra

Abstract

The extended bigraded Toda hierarchy (EBTH) is an integrable system satisfied by the total descendant potential of CP1\mathbb{CP}^1 with two orbifold points. We construct additional symmetries of the EBTH and describe explicitly their action on the Lax operator, wave operators, and tau-function of the hierarchy. In particular, we obtain infinitesimal symmetries of the EBTH that act on the tau-function as a subalgebra of the Virasoro algebra, generalizing those of Dubrovin and Zhang.
