Virasoro Symmetries of the Extended Toda Hierarchy

چکیده
We prove that the extended Toda hierarchy of [1] admits nonabelian Lie algebra of infinitesimal symmetries isomorphic to the half of the Virasoro algebra. The generators Lm, m ≥ −1 of the Lie algebra act by linear differential operators onto the tau function of the hierarchy. We also prove that the tau function of a generic solution to the extended Toda hierarchy is annihilated by a combination of the Virasoro operators and the flows of the hierarchy. As an application we show that the validity of the Virasoro constraints for the CP 1 Gromov-Witten invariants and their descendents implies that their generating function is the logarithm of a particular tau function of the extended Toda hierarchy.

متن کاملA Centerless Virasoro Algebra of Master Symmetries for the Ablowitz–Ladik Hierarchy
We show that the (semi-infinite) Ablowitz–Ladik (AL) hierarchy admits a centerless Virasoro algebra of master symmetries in the sense of Fuchssteiner [Progr. Theoret. Phys. 70 (1983), 1508–1522]. An explicit expression for these symmetries is given in terms of a slight generalization of the Cantero, Moral and Velázquez (CMV) matrices [Linear Algebra Appl. 362 (2003), 29–56] and their action on ...
متن کاملSeiberg-Witten Theory and Extended Toda Hierarchy
The quasiclassical solution to the extended Toda chain hierarchy, corresponding to the deformation of the simplest Seiberg-Witten theory by all descendants of the dual topological string model, is constructed explicitly in terms of the complex curve and generating differential. The first derivatives of prepotential or quasiclassical tau-function over the extra times, extending the Toda chain, a...

into the algebras of skew-symmetric As and lower triangular (including the diagonal) matrices Ab (Borel matrices). We show that this splitting plays a prominent role also in the construction of the Toda symmetries and their action on τ−functions; it also plays a crucial role in obtaining the Virasoro constraints for matrix integrals and it ties up elegantly with the theory of orthogonal polynom...
متن کاملQuasi-classical limit of BKP hierarchy and W-infinity symmetries
Previous results on quasi-classical limit of the KP and Toda hierarchies are now extended to the BKP hierarchy. Basic tools such as the Lax representation, the Baker-Akhiezer function and the tau function are reformulated so as to fit into the analysis of quasi-classical limit. Two subalgebras WB 1+∞ and w B 1+∞ of the Winfinity algebrasW1+∞ and w1+∞ are introduced as fundamental Lie algebras o...
