چکیده
The quaternionic KP hierarchy is the integrable hierarchy of p.d.e obtained by replacing the complex numbers with the quaternions in the standard construction of the KP hierarchy and its solutions; it is equivalent to what is often called the Davey-Stewartson II hierarchy. This article studies its relationship with the theory of conformally immersed tori in the 4-sphere via quaternionic holomorphic geometry. The Sato-Segal-Wilson construction of KP solutions is adapted to this setting and the connection with quaternionic holomorphic curves is made. We then compare three different notions of “spectral curve”: the QKP spectral curve; the Floquet multiplier spectral curve for the related Dirac operator; and the curve parameterising Darboux transforms of a conformal 2-torus in the 4-sphere.

Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian tori contained in a hypersphere
The Clifford torus is a torus in a three-dimensional sphere. Homogeneous tori are simple generalization of the Clifford torus which still in a three-dimensional sphere. There is a way to construct tori in a threedimensional sphere using the Hopf fibration. In this paper, all Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian tori which is contained in a hypersphere in the complex Euclidean plane are constructed...
متن کاملOn dispersionless BKP hierarchy and its reductions
Integrable dispersionless Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy of B type is considered. Addition formula for the τ -function and conformally invariant equations for the dispersionless BKP (dBKP) hierarchy are derived. Symmetry constraints for the dBKP hierarchy are studied.
متن کاملThe Spectral Action and Cosmic Topology
The spectral action functional, considered as a model of gravity coupled to matter, provides, in its non-perturbative form, a slow-roll potential for inflation, whose form and corresponding slowroll parameters can be sensitive to the underlying cosmic topology. We explicitly compute the non-perturbative spectral action for some of the main candidates for cosmic topologies, namely the quaternion...
متن کاملExtended Conformal Algebras Associated with Constrained KP Hierarchy
We examine the conformal preperty of the second Hamiltonian structure of constrained KP hierarchy derived by Oevel and Strampp. We find that it naturally gives a family of nonlocal extended conformal algebras. We give two examples of such algebras and find that they are similar to Bilal's V algebra. By taking a gauge transformation one can map the constrained KP hierarchy to Kupershmidt's nonst...
متن کاملScalar-flat Kähler Orbifolds via Quaternionic-complex Reduction
We prove that any asymptotically locally Euclidean scalar-flat Kähler 4-orbifold whose isometry group contains a 2-torus is isometric, up to an orbifold covering, to a quaternionic-complex quotient of a k-dimensional quaternionic vector space by a (k − 1)-torus. In order to do so, we first prove that any compact anti-self-dual 4-orbifold with positive Euler characteristic whose isometry group c...
