We show that a recently introduced Lax pair of the Sawada-Kotera equation is not a new one but is trivially related to the known old Lax pair. Using the so-called trivial compositions of the old Lax pairs with a differentially constrained…
Lax pairs are a useful tool in finding conserved quantities of some dynamical systems. In this expository article, we give a motivated introduction to the idea of a Lax pair of matrices $(L,A)$, first for mechanical systems such as the…
The gauge-invariant description of zero-curvature representations of evolution equations is applied to the problem of how to distinguish the fake Lax pairs from the true Lax pairs. The main difference between the true Lax pairs and the fake…
A new supersymmetric equation is proposed for the Sawada-Kotera equation. The integrability of this equation is shown by the existence of Lax representation and infinite conserved quantities and a recursion operator.
We consider the half-wave maps equation $$ \partial_t \vec{S} = \vec{S} \wedge |\nabla| \vec{S}, $$ where $\vec{S}= \vec{S}(t,x)$ takes values on the two-dimensional unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ and $x \in \mathbb{R}$ (real line case) or $x…
In this paper, we present multi parametric quadgraph equations which are consistent around the cube. These equations are obtained by applying a `double twist' to known integrable equations. Furthermore, we perform a limit to one of these…
For one dimensional SU(n) Hubbard model, a pair of Lax operators are derived, which give a set of fundamental equations for the quantum inverse scattering method under both periodic and open boundary conditions. This provides another proof…
Completely integrable finite dimensional Hamiltonian systems are well understood thanks to the work of Liouville and Arnold. On the other hand, the Lax Pair formulation of the KdV equation marks the beginning of the extension of the…
We consider several integrable systems from a standpoint of the SL(2,R) invariant gauge theory. In the Drinfeld-Sokorov gauge, we get a one parameter family of nonlinear equations from zero curvature conditions. For each value of the…
We present reciprocal transformations for the spectral problems of Korteveg de Vries (KdV) and modified Korteveg de Vries (mKdV) equations. The resulting equations, RKdV (reciprocal KdV) and RmKdV (reciprocal mKdV), are connected through a…
The Lax pair formulation of the two dimensional induced gravity in the light-cone gauge is extended to the more general $w_N$ theories. After presenting the $w_2$ and $w_3$ gravities, we give a general prescription for an arbitrary $w_N$…
We construct zero-curvature representations for the equations of motion of a class of sigma-models with complex homogeneous target spaces, not necessarily symmetric. We show that in the symmetric case the proposed flat connection is…
Matrix differential-difference Lax pairs play an essential role in the theory of integrable nonlinear differential-difference equations. We present sufficient conditions which allow one to simplify such a Lax pair by matrix gauge…
We introduce a spectral parameter into the geometrically exact Hamiltonian equations for the elastic rod in a way that creates a Lax pair. This assures integrability and permits application of the inverse scattering transform solution…
We investigate the dynamical equivalence of quadratic Lagrangians and its relation to separation of variables. We show that requiring two quadratic Lagrangians to generate the same Euler--Lagrange equations imposes a compatibility condition…
The constraints for evolution equations with some special form of Lax pair are first investigated. We show by examples how the method is rooted in the classical literatures and how the ignored constraints provide nontrivial solutions. Then…
We prove that the existence of a dispersionless Lax pair with spectral parameter for a nondegenerate hyperbolic second order partial differential equation (PDE) is equivalent to the canonical conformal structure defined by the symbol being…
Motivated by recent work on quantum integrable models without U(1) symmetry, we show that the sl(2) Hirota equation admits a Lax representation with inhomogeneous terms. The compatibility of the auxiliary linear problem leads to a new…
QRT maps are translations on smooth biquadratic curves, also known as elliptic curves. Special cases of QRT maps are known to arise as compatibility conditions for an associated system of linear equations, known as a Lax pair. Here, we…
We expand the completeness study instigated in [J. Math. Phys. 50 (2009), 103516, 29 pages] which found all $2\times2$ Lax pairs with non-zero, separable terms in each entry of each Lax matrix, along with the most general nonlinear systems…
