Superized Leznov-Saveliev equations as the zero-curvature condition on a reduced connection
Abstract
The equations of open 2-dimensional Toda lattice (TL) correspond to Leznov-Saveliev equations (LSE) interpreted as zero-curvature Yang-Mills equations on the variety of -orbits on the Minkowski space when the gauge algebra is the image of under a principal embedding into a simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra with Cartan matrix . The known integrable super versions of TL equations correspond to matrices of two different types. I interpret the super LSE of one type 1 as zero-curvature equations for the \textit{reduced} connection on the non-integrable distribution on the supervariety of -orbits on the -extended Minkowski superspace; the Leznov-Saveliev method of solution is applicable only to finite-dimensional and admitting a superprincipal embedding . The simplest LSE1 is the super Liouville equation; it can be also interpreted in terms of the superstring action. Olshanetsky introduced LSE2 -- another type of equations of super TL. Olshanetsky's equations, as well as LSE1 with infinite-dimensional , can be solved by the Inverse Scattering Method. To interpret these equations remains an open problem, except for the super Liouville equation -- the only case where these two types of LSE coincide. I also review related less known and less popular mathematical constructions involved.
