Remarks on Kdv-type Flows on Star-shaped Curves

چکیده
We study the relation between the centro-affine geometry of starshaped planar curves and the projective geometry of parametrized maps into RP. We show that projectivization induces a map between differential invariants and a bi-Poisson map between Hamiltonian structures. We also show that a Hamiltonian evolution equation for closed star-shaped planar curves, discovered by Pinkall, has the Schwarzian KdV equation as its projectivization. (For both flows, the curvature evolves by the KdV equation.) Using algebro-geometric methods and the relation of group-based moving frames to AKNS-type representations, we construct examples of closed solutions of Pinkall’s flow associated with periodic finite-gap KdV potentials.

A Completely Integrable Flow of Star-shaped Curves on the Light Cone in Lorentzian R
In this paper we prove that the space of differential invariants for curves with arc-length parameter in the light cone of Lorentzian R4, invariants under the centro-affine action of the Lorentzian group, is Poisson equivalent to the space of conformal differential invariants for curves in the Möbius sphere. We use this relation to find realizations of solutions of a complexly coupled system of...
متن کاملProjective-type differential invariants and geometric curve evolutions of KdV-type in flat homogeneous manifolds
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(2m, 2m), 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...
متن کاملOn the moduli of a quantized elastica in P and KdV flows: Study of hyperelliptic curves as an extention of Euler’s perspective of elastica I
Quantization needs evaluation of all of states of a quantized object rather than its stationary states with respect to its energy. In this paper, we have investigated moduli Melas of a quantized elastica, a quantized loop on with an energy functional associated with the Schwarz derivative, on a Riemannian sphere P. Then we proved that its moduli is decomposed to equivalent classes determined by...

On quantization of a loop on a Riemannian sphere P with an energy functional, we must not evaluate its stationary points with respect to the energy but also all states. Thus in this paper, we have investigated moduli M of loops (a quantize loop) on P. Then we proved that its moduli is decomposed to equivalent classes determined by flows of the KdV hierarchy. Since the flows of the KdV hierarchy...
متن کاملProjective-type Differential Invariants for Curves and Their Associated Pdes of Kdv Type
In this paper we present an overview of the direct relation between differential invariants of projective type for curves in flat semisimple homegenous spaces and PDEs of KdV type. We describe the progress in the proof of a conjectured Theorem stating that for any such space there are geometric evolutions of curves that induce completely integrable evolutions on their invariants of projective-t...
