For any two arbitrary positive integers `$n$' and `$m$', using the $m$--th KdV hierarchy and the $(n+m)$--th KdV hierarchy as building blocks, we are able to construct another integrable hierarchy (referred to as the $(n,m)$--th KdV…

We give 4 formulations of the Modified KP hierarchy and show that they are equivalent. We also discuss the reductions of the MKP hierarchy to the modified $n$-KdV hierarchies. As a byproduct, we find an astonishingly simple explicit…

The connection between supersymmetric quantum mechanics and the Korteweg- de Vries (KdV) equation is discussed, with particular emphasis on the KdV conservation laws. It is shown that supersymmetric quantum mechanics aids in the derivation…

Important illustration to the principle ``partition functions in string theory are $\tau$-functions of integrable equations'' is the fact that the (dual) partition functions of $4d$ $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories solve Painlev\'e equations.…

We construct the multi-variable realizations of the $W_{1+\infty}$ algebra such that they lead to the $W_{1+\infty}$ $n$-algebra. Based on our realizations of the $W_{1+\infty}$ algebra, we derive the $W_{1+\infty}$ constraints for the…

The CKP hierarchy is one important sub-hierarchy of the KP hierarchy, which is quite special due to its tau function. Here we construct the tau functions for the constrained CKP hierarchy…

A few 2+1-dimensional equations belonging to the KP and modified KP hierarchies are shown to be sufficient to provide a unified picture of all the integrable cases of the cubic and quartic H\'enon-Heiles Hamiltonians.

Let $n$ and $t$ be positive integers with $t\geq 2$. Let $R_t(n)$ be the number of $t$-regular partitions of $n$. A class of functions, denoted $\tau_k(n)$, is defined as follows:…

We present an affine $sl (n+1)$ algebraic construction of the basic constrained KP hierarchy. This hierarchy is analyzed using two approaches, namely linear matrix eigenvalue problem on hermitian symmetric space and constrained KP Lax…

An analogue of the KP hierarchy, the SDiff(2) KP hierarchy, related to the group of area-preserving diffeomorphisms on a cylinder is proposed. An improved Lax formalism of the KP hierarchy is shown to give a prototype of this new hierarchy.…

In this article we show how to construct hierarchies of partial differential equations from the vertex operator representations of toroidal Lie algebras. In the smallest example - rank 2 toroidal cover of $sl_2$ - we obtain an extension of…

We introduce a new generalization of matrix (1+1)-dimensional k-constrained KP hierarchy. The new hierarchy contains matrix generalizations of stationary DS systems, (2+1)-dimensional modified Korteweg-de Vries equation and the Nizhnik…

Give a convenient new approach to obtain the algebraic constraints on tau functions of p-reduced KP with the constraints of string equation. The classical results about algebraic constraints on associated tau function are included.

We establish precise spectral criteria for potential functions $V$ of reflectionless Schr\"odinger operators $L_V = -\partial_x^2 + V$ to admit solutions to the Korteweg de-Vries (KdV) hierarchy with $V$ as an initial value. More generally,…

The gauge equivalence between basic KP hierarchies is discussed. The first two Hamiltonian structures for KP hierarchies leading to the linear and non-linear $\Winf$ algebras are derived. The realization of the corresponding generators in…

The KdV and modified KdV integrable hierarchies are shown to be different descriptions of the same 2D gravitational system -- open-closed string theory. Non-perturbative solutions of the multi-critical unitary matrix models map to…

We produce a hierarchiy of integrable equations by systematically adding terms to the Lax pair for the lattice modified KdV equation. The equations in the hierarchy are related to one aonother by recursion relations. These recursion…

For the root system of each complex semi-simple Lie algebra of rank two, and for the associated 2D Toda chain $E=\{u_{xy}=\exp(K u)\}$, we calculate the two first integrals of the characteristic equation $D_y(w)=0$ on $E$. Using the…

In [1], Nakatsu and Takasaki have shown that the melting crystal model behind the topological strings vertex provides a tau-function of the KP hierarchy after an appropriate time deformation. We revisit their derivation with a focus on the…

In the recent study of Virasoro action on characters, we discovered that it gets especially simple for peculiar linear combinations of the Virasoro operators: particular harmonics of $\hat w$-operators. In this letter, we demonstrate that…
