Deformations of triple-Jordan systems and integrable equations (Q1817597): Difference between revisions

In this paper the authors announce the following without proof: Let \(\varphi\) be an element of a Jordan triple system with basis \(e_1,\dots,e_N\) and assume that \(\varphi\) depends on a vector parameter \(u=u^ie_i\), and that its evolution with respect to this parameter is defined by the overdetermined compatible system of differential equations \(\partial\varphi/\partial u^i=-\{\varphi,e_i,\varphi\}\), where \(i=1,\dots,N\) and \(\{\cdot,\cdot,\cdot\}\) is the ternary multiplication of the Jordan triple system. For any fixed initial vector \(\varphi(0)\) there is a unique solution of this system for sufficiently small \(u\). Any nonzero solution \(\varphi(u)\) of this system is called a deformation vector. The authors explicitly give deformation vectors for some of the simplest Jordan triple systems and write down four classes of multi-component integrable equations in which the deformation vector occurs, as \(u_{xy}=\{u_x,\varphi(u),u_y\}\). They discuss the problem of reduction for these systems.
