On Commuting Matrix Differential Operators

چکیده
If the differential expressions P and L are polynomials (over C) of another differential expression they will obviously commute. To have a P which does not arise in this way but satisfies [P,L] = 0 is rare. Yet the question of when it happens has received a lot of attention since Lax presented his description of the KdV hierarchy by Lax pairs (P,L). In this paper the question is answered in the case where the given expression L has matrixvalued coefficients which are rational functions bounded at infinity or simply periodic functions bounded at the end of the period strip: if Ly = zy has only meromorphic solutions then there exists a P such that [P,L] = 0 while P and L are not both polynomials of any other differential expression. The result is applied to the AKNS hierarchy where L = JD + Q is a first order expression whose coefficients J and Q are 2 × 2 matrices. It is therefore an elementary exercise to determine whether a given matrix Q with rational or simply periodic coefficients is a stationary solution of an equation in the AKNS hierarchy.

On a Commutative Ring of Two Variable Differential Operators with Matrix Coefficients
In this work, we construct commutative rings of two variable matrix differential operators that are isomorphic to a ring of meromorphic functions on a rational manifold obtained from the CP 1×CP 1 by identification of two lines with the pole on a certain rational curve. The commutation condition for differential operators is equivalent to a system of non-linear equations in the operators’ coeff...
متن کاملImages of Commuting Differential Operators of Order One with Constant Leading Coefficients
We first study some properties of images of commuting differential operators of polynomial algebras of order one with constant leading coefficients. We then propose what we call the image conjecture on these differential operators and show that the Jacobian conjecture [BCW], [E] (hence also the Dixmier conjecture [D]) and the vanishing conjecture [Z3] of differential operators with constant coe...

The exact scattering solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation in cylindrically symmetric field are constructed as eigenfunctions of a complete set of commuting operators. The matrix elements and the corresponding differential scattering cross-section are calculated. Properties of the pair production at various limits are discussed.

Let $$(Lv)(t)=sum^{n} _{i,j=1} (-1)^{j} d_{j} left( s^{2alpha}(t) b_{ij}(t) mu(t) d_{i}v(t)right),$$ be a non-selfadjoint differential operator on the Hilbert space $L_{2}(Omega)$ with Dirichlet-type boundary conditions. In continuing of papers [10-12], let the conditions made on the operator $ L$ be sufficiently more general than [11] and [12] as defined in Section $1$. In this paper, we estim...

For Belavin's elliptic quantum R-matrix, we construct an L-operator as a set of difference operators acting on functions on the type A weight space. According to the fundamental relation RLL = LLR, the trace of the L-operator gives a commuting difference operators. We show that for the above mentioned L-operator this approach gives Macdonald type operators with elliptic theta function coefficie...
متن کاملSelf-adjoint commuting differential operators of rank two
This is a survey of results on self-adjoint commuting ordinary differential operators of rank two. In particular, the action of automorphisms of the first Weyl algebra on the set of commuting differential operators with polynomial coefficients is discussed, as well as the problem of constructing algebro-geometric solutions of rank l > 1 of soliton equations. Bibliography: 59 titles.
