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 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…
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…
The basic concepts underlying our analysis of {\it W-algebras} as extended symmetries of integrable systems are summarized. The construction starts from the second hamiltonian structure of ``Generalized Drinfel'd-Sokolov'' hierarchies, and…
Analytic-bilinear approach for construction and study of integrable hierarchies is discussed. Generalized multicomponent KP and 2D Toda lattice hierarchies are considered. This approach allows to represent generalized hierarchies of…
In this paper we examine the bi-Hamiltonian structure of the generalized KdV-hierarchies. We verify that both Hamiltonian structures take the form of Kirillov brackets on the Kac-Moody algebra, and that they define a coordinated system.…
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…
For a class of generalized integrable hierarchies associated with affine (twisted or untwisted) Kac-Moody algebras, an explicit representation of their local conserved densities by means of a single scalar tau-function is deduced. This…
The main results for the two-dimensional quantum gravity, conjectured from the matrix model or integrable approach, are presented in the form to be compared with the world-sheet or Liouville approach. In spherical limit the integrable side…
This paper is meant to be a short review and summary of recent results on the structure of finite and affine classical W-algebras, and the application of the latter to the theory of generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchies.
In these lectures we report recent work on the exact quantization of dimensionally reduced gravity, i.e. 2d non-linear (G/H)-coset space sigma-models coupled to gravity and a dilaton. Using methods developed in the context of flat space…
The generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov construction of KdV systems is reviewed in the case of an arbitrary affine Lie algebra paying particular attention to Hamiltonian aspects and $\W$-algebras. Some extensions of known results as well as a new…
The purpose of this article is to investigate relations between W-superalgebras and integrable super-Hamiltonian systems. To this end, we introduce the generalized Drinfel'd-Sokolov (D-S) reduction associated to a Lie superalgebra $g$ and…
The Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchies are integrable hierarchies associated with every affine Lie algebra. We present a new construction of such hierarchies, which only requires the computations of a formal Laurent series.
A new approach to integrability of affine Toda field theories and closely related to them KdV hierarchies is proposed. The flows of a hierarchy are explicitly identified with infinitesimal action of the principal abelian subalgebra of the…
A general construction of integrable hierarchies based on affine Lie algebras is presented. The models are specified according to some algebraic data and their time evolution is obtained from solutions of the zero curvature condition. Such…
The $2n$ dimensional manifold with two mutually commutative operators of differentiation is introduced. Nontrivial multidimensional integrable systems connected with arbitrary graded (semisimple) algebras are constructed. The general…
Unifying hierarchies of integrable equations are discussed. They are constructed via generalized Hirota identity. It is shown that the Combescure transformations, known for a long time for the Darboux system and having a simple geometrical…
For a diagram automorphism of an affine Kac-Moody algebra such that the folded diagram is still an affine Dynkin diagram, we show that the associated Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchy also admits an induced automorphism. Then we show how to obtain…
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…
