A Tensorial Lax Pair Equation and Integrable Systems in Relativity and Classical Mechanics * †
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that the Lax pair equation L̇ = [L,A] can be given a neat tensorial interpretation for finite-dimensional quadratic Hamiltonians. The Lax matrices L and A are shown to arise from third rank tensors on the configuration space. The second Lax matrix A is related to a connection which characterizes the Hamiltonian system. The Toda lattice system is used to motivate the definition of the Lax pair tensors. The possible existence of solutions to the Einstein equations having the Lax pair property is discussed.

A Lax Operator Hierarchy for the New Fifth Order Integrable System
We consider the Lax representation of the new two-component coupled integrable system recently discovered by the author. Connection of the hierarchy of infinitely many Lax pairs with each other is presented.
متن کاملFinite-dimensional integrable systems associated with Davey-Stewartson I equation
For the Davey-Stewartson I equation, which is an integrable equation in 1+2 dimensions, we have already found its Lax pair in 1+1 dimensional form by nonlinear constraints. This paper deals with the second nonlinearization of this 1+1 dimensional system to get three 1+0 dimensional Hamiltonian systems with a constraint of Neumann type. The full set of involutive conserved integrals is obtained ...
متن کاملLax pair tensors and integrable spacetimes
The use of Lax pair tensors as a unifying framework for Killing tensors of arbitrary rank is discussed. Some properties of the tensorial Lax pair formulation are stated. A mechanical system with a wellknown Lax representation – the three-particle open Toda lattice – is geometrized by a suitable canonical transformation. In this way the Toda lattice is realized as the geodesic system of a certai...
متن کاملToda Theories as Contractions of Affine Toda Theories
Using a contraction procedure, we obtain Toda theories and their structures, from affine Toda theories and their corresponding structures. By structures, we mean the equation of motion, the classical Lax pair, the boundary term for half line theories, and the quantum transfer matrix. The Lax pair and the transfer matrix so obtained, depend nontrivially on the spectral parameter. A Toda field th...
متن کاملTrivially related lax pairs of the Sawada-Kotera equation
We show that a recently introduced Lax pair of the Sawada-Kotera equation is nota new one but is trivially related to the known old Lax pair. Using the so-called trivialcompositions of the old Lax pairs with a differentially constrained arbitrary operators,we give some examples of trivial Lax pairs of KdV and Sawada-Kotera equations.
