The Schwarzian variable associated with discrete KdV-type equations

Abstract

We present a new construction related to systems of polynomials which are consistent on a cube. The consistent polynomials underlie the integrability of discrete counterparts of integrable partial differential equations of Korteweg- de Vries-type (KdV-type). The construction reported here associates a Schwarzian variable to such systems. In the generic case, including the primary model Q4, the new variable satisfies the lattice Schwarzian Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equat ion in three dimensions. For the degenerate sub-cases of Q4 the same construction reveals an invertible transformation to the lattice Schwarzian KdV equation.
