Null Kähler structures, Symmetries and Integrability
نویسنده
چکیده
I feel honoured to be able to make this small contribution to the celebration of Jerzy Plebański’s 75th birthday. Plebański has presumably regarded his work on complex relativity as a step towards producing general solutions to the Einstein equations on a real Lorentzian manifold. No one in the mid-seventies could expect that his contributions to the field would underlie the relation between twistor descriptions of anti-self-dual conformal structures and integrable models! The main focus of this paper will be a (2, 2) signature metric in Plebański’s form

Hidden Symmetries of Integrable Systems in Yang-mills Theory and Kähler Geometry
We now have a huge list of “nonlinear integrable systems.” Most of them are more or less related to so called “soliton” phenomena, thereby referred to as “soliton equations.” In the last decade, various soliton equations came to be reorganized in a unified framework, the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy and its family [Sa-Sa] [Se-Wi]. Beside these soliton equations, there are a few excepti...
متن کاملSymmetries, Singularities and Integrability in Nonlinear Mathematical Physics and Cosmology
An overview is given of the interplay between symmetries, singularities and integrability and their uses in nonlinear problems arising in Mathematical Physics and Cosmology. A particularly important aspect is the role of nonlocal symmetries in deciding about integrability of complex nonlinear problems which do not apparently admit solutions in closed form. The need for a new approach to the evo...
متن کاملSymmetries in Generalized Kähler Geometry
We define the notion of amomentmap and reduction in both generalized complex geometry and generalized Kähler geometry. As an application, we give very simple explicit constructions of bi-Hermitian structures on CP , Hirzebruch surfaces, the blow up of CP at arbitrarily many points, and other toric varieties, as well as complex Grassmannians.
متن کاملSymmetries and Integrability Properties of Generalized Fisher Type Nonlinear Diffusion Equation
Nonlinear reaction-diffusion systems are known to exhibit very many novel spatiotemporal patterns. Fisher equation is a prototype of diffusive equations. In this contribution we investigate the integrability properties of the generalized Fisher type equation to obtain physically interesting solutions using Lie symmetry analysis. In particular, we report several travelling wave patterns, static ...
متن کاملNoether Symmetries and Integrability in Time-dependent Hamiltonian Mechanics
We consider Noether symmetries within Hamiltonian setting as transformations that preserve Poincaré–Cartan form, i.e., as symmetries of characteristic line bundles of nondegenerate 1-forms. In the case when the Poincaré–Cartan form is contact, the explicit expression for the symmetries in the inverse Noether theorem is given. As examples, we consider natural mechanical systems, in particular th...
