Abstract

We construct new coset realizations of infinite-dimensional linear W3W_3^{\infty} symmetry associated with Zamolodchikov's W3W_3 algebra which are different from the previously explored sl3sl_3 Toda realization of W3W_3^{\infty}. We deduce the Boussinesq and modified Boussinesq equations as constraints on the geometry of the corresponding coset manifolds.The main characteristic features of these realizations are:i. Among the coset parameters there are the space and time coordinates xx and tt which enter the Boussinesq equations, all other coset parameters are regarded as fields depending on these coordinates;ii. The spin 2 and 3 currents of W3W_3 and two spin 1 U(1)U(1) Kac- Moody currents as well as two spin 0 fields related to the W3W_3currents via Miura maps, come out as the only essential parameters-fields of these cosets. The remaining coset fields are covariantly expressed through them;iii.The Miura maps get a new geometric interpretation as W3W_3^{\infty} covariant constraints which relate the above fields while passing from one coset manifold to another; iv. The Boussinesq equation and two kinds of the modified Boussinesq equations appear geometrically as the dynamical constraints accomplishing W3W_3^{\infty} covariant reductions of original coset manifolds to their two-dimensional geodesic submanifolds;v. The zero-curvature representations for these equations arise automatically as a consequence of the covariant reduction. The approach proposed could provide a universal geometric description of the relationship between WW-type algebras and integrable hierarchies.
