2 00 1 Spectral Curves , Opers and Integrable Systems

چکیده
We establish a general link between integrable systems in algebraic geometry (expressed as Jacobian flows on spectral curves) and soliton equations (expressed as evolution equations on flat connections). Our main result is a natural isomorphism between a moduli space of spectral data and a moduli space of differential data, each equipped with an infinite collection of commuting flows. The spectral data are principal G–bundles on an algebraic curve, equipped with an abelian reduction near one point. The flows on the spectral side come from the action of a Heisenberg subgroup of the loop group. The differential data are flat connections known as opers. The flows on the differential side come from a generalized Drinfeld–Sokolov hierarchy. Our isomorphism between the two sides provides a geometric description of the entire phase space of the hierarchy. It extends the Krichever construction of special algebro–geometric solutions of the nth KdV hierarchy, corresponding to G = SLn. An interesting feature is the appearance of formal spectral curves, replacing the projective spectral curves of the classical approach. The geometry of these (usually singular) curves reflects the fine structure of loop groups, in particular the detailed classification of their Cartan subgroups. To each such curve corresponds a homogeneous space of the loop group and a soliton system. Moreover the flows of the system have interpretations in terms of Jacobians of formal curves.

متن کاملAn Invitation to 2d Tqft and Quantization of Hitchin Spectral Curves
This article consists of two parts. In Part 1, we present a formulation of twodimensional topological quantum field theories in terms of a functor from a category of ribbon graphs to the endofuntor category of a monoidal category. The key point is that the category of ribbon graphs produces all Frobenius objects. Necessary backgrounds from Frobenius algebras, topological quantum field theories,...
