Triangular reductions of the \(2D\) Toda hierarchy (Q2364481): Difference between revisions

The starting point of this paper was an observation: the spectral theory of triangular operators is naturally connected with a special reduction of the 2D Toda hierarchy. The authors present new reductions of the 2D Toda equations associated with low-triangular difference operators with explicit Hamiltonian description. The main goal of this paper is: 1) to construct a bi-Hamiltonian theory for some systems and to show that the space of strictly low diagonal difference operators admits two different Poisson structures; 2) to identify the corresponding Hamiltonians.
