For each partition p of an integer N \geq 2, consisting of r parts, an integrable hierarchy of Lax type Hamiltonian PDE has been constructed recently by some of us. In the present paper we show that any tau-function of the p-reduced…

We prove that any classical affine W-algebra W(g,f), where g is a classical Lie algebra and f is an arbitrary nilpotent element of g, carries an integrable Hamiltonian hierarchy of Lax type equations. This is based on the theories of…

We report on generalizations of the KdV-type integrable hierarchies of Drinfel'd and Sokolov. These hierarchies lead to the existence of new classical $W$-algebras, which arise as the second Hamiltonian structure of the hierarchies. In…

We put the Adler-Gelfand-Dickey approach to classical W-algebras in the framework of Poisson vertex algebras. We show how to recover the bi-Poisson structure of the KP hierarchy, together with its generalizations and reduction to the N-th…

In this paper, we propose local matrix generalizations of the classical $W$-algebras based on the second Hamiltonian structure of the $\mathcal{Z}_m$-valued KP hierarchy, where $\mathcal{Z}_m$ is a maximal commutative subalgebra of…

We derive sufficient conditions under which the ``second'' Hamiltonian structure of a class of generalized KdV-hierarchies defines one of the classical $\cal W$-algebras obtained through Drinfel'd-Sokolov Hamiltonian reduction. These…

We provide a description of the Drinfeld-Sokolov Hamiltonian reduction for the construction of classical W-algebras within the framework of Poisson vertex algebras. In this context, the gauge group action on the phase space is translated in…

We review the construction of Drinfeld-Sokolov type hierarchies and classical W-algebras in a Hamiltonian symmetry reduction framework. We describe the list of graded regular elements in the Heisenberg subalgebras of the nontwisted loop…

First, we give a brief review of the theory of the Lenard-Magri scheme for a non-local bi-Poisson structure and of the theory of Dirac reduction. These theories are used in the remainder of the paper to prove integrability of three…

$W$-algebras are certain algebraic structures associated to a finite dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ and a nilpotent element $f$ via Hamiltonian reduction. In this note we give a review of a recent approach to the study of (classical…

The Poisson bracket algebra corresponding to the second Hamiltonian structure of a large class of generalized KdV and mKdV integrable hierarchies is carefully analysed. These algebras are known to have conformal properties, and their…

A unified description of the relationship between the Hamiltonian structure of a large class of integrable hierarchies of equations and W-algebras is discussed. The main result is an explicit formula showing that the former can be…

A class of classical affine W-algebras are shown to be isomorphic as differential algebras to the coordinate rings of double coset spaces of certain prounipotent proalgebraic groups. As an application, integrable Hamiltonian hierarchies…

A differential-algebraic approach to studying the Lax type integrability of the generalized Riemann type hydrodynamic hierarchy is revisited, its new Lax type representation and Poisson structures constructed in exact form. The related…

Given a classical $r$-matrix on a Poisson algebra, we show how to construct a natural family of compatible Poisson structures for the Hamiltonian formulation of Lax equations. Examples for which our formalism applies include the Benny…

We investigate the algebraic structure of integrable hierarchies that, we propose, underlie models of $W$-gravity coupled to matter. More precisely, we concentrate on the dispersionless limit of the topological subclass of such theories, by…

A new Lax operator is proposed from the viewpoint of constructing the integrable hierarchies related with N=2 super $W_n$ algebra. It is shown that the Poisson algebra associated to the second Hamiltonian structure for the resulted…

We construct the classical W-algebras for some non-abelian Toda systems associated with the Lie groups GL(2n,R) and Sp(n,R). We start with the set of characteristic integrals and find the Poisson brackets for the corresponding Hamiltonian…

We introduce a Frobenius algebra-valued KP hierarchy and show the existence of Frobenius algebra-valued $\tau$-function for this hierarchy. In addition we construct its Hamiltonian structures by using the Adler-Dickey-Gelfand method. As a…

To each partition function of cohomological field theory one can associate an Hamiltonian integrable hierarchy of topological type. The Givental group acts on such partition functions and consequently on the associated integrable…
