On the heat kernel and the Korteweg--de Vries hierarchy

Plamen Iliev (2005)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We give explicit formulas for Hadamard's coefficients in terms of the tau-function of the Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy. We show that some of the basic properties of these coefficients can be easily derived from these formulas.

On the hierarchies of higher order mKdV and KdV equations

Axel Grünrock (2010)

Open Mathematics

The Cauchy problem for the higher order equations in the mKdV hierarchy is investigated with data in the spaces H ^ s r defined by the norm v 0 H ^ s r : = ξ s v 0 ^ L ξ r ' , ξ = 1 + ξ 2 1 2 , 1 r + 1 r ' = 1 . Local well-posedness for the jth equation is shown in the parameter range 2 ≥ 1, r > 1, s ≥ 2 j - 1 2 r ' . The proof uses an appropriate variant of the Fourier restriction norm method. A counterexample is discussed to show that the Cauchy problem for equations of this type is in general ill-posed in the C 0-uniform sense, if s < 2 j - 1 2 r ' . The results for r = 2 - so far in...

Perturbations of the harmonic map equation

Thomas Kappeler (2002)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

We consider perturbations of the harmonic map equation in the case where the source and target manifolds are closed riemannian manifolds and the latter is in addition of nonpositive sectional curvature. For any semilinear and, under some extra conditions, quasilinear perturbation, the space of classical solutions within a homotopy class is proved to be compact. For generic perturbations the set of solutions is finite and we present a count of this set. An important ingredient for our analysis is...

Projective-type differential invariants and geometric curve evolutions of KdV-type in flat homogeneous manifolds

Gloria Marí Beffa (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper we describe moving frames and differential invariants for curves in two different | 1 | -graded parabolic manifolds G / H , G = O ( p + 1 , q + 1 ) and G = O ( 2 m , 2 m ) , and we define differential invariants of projective-type. We then show that, in the first case, there are geometric flows in G / H inducing equations of KdV-type in the projective-type differential invariants when proper initial conditions are chosen. We also show that geometric Poisson brackets in the space of differential invariants of curves in G / H can be reduced...
