Tau functions and Virasoro symmetries for Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchies (Q728232): Difference between revisions

The author studies the Drinfeld-Sokolov integrable hierarchy associated to affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras. He constructs tau functions by using tau-symmetric Hamiltonian densities. He also proves that, if the affine Kac-Moody algebra is simply-laced or twisted, the tau functions of the Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchy coincides with the solutions of the corresponding Kac-Wakimoto hierarchy constructed using the principal realization of integrable modules for affine Lie algebras.
