Integrable Lagrangians and modular forms

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We investigate non-degenerate Lagrangians of the form int f(u_x, u_y, u_t) dx dy dt such that the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations (fux)x+(fuy)y+(fut)t=0 are integrable by the method of hydrodynamic reductions. We demonstrate that the integrability conditions, which constitute an involutive over-determined system of fourth order PDEs for the Lagrangian density f, are invariant under a 20-parameter group of Lie-point symmetries whose action on the moduli space of integrable Lagrangians has an open orbit. The density of the `master-Lagrangian' corresponding to this orbit is shown to be a modular form in three variables defined on a complex hyperbolic ball. We demonstrate how the knowledge of the symmetry group allows one to linearise the integrability conditions.
