Completely integrable equation for the quantum correlation function of nonlinear Schrödinger equation (Q1379674)

The main goal of this paper is a description of the quantum correlation function for the non-free fermionic case in terms of solutions of classical completely integrable equations. It is shown that these equations have the form \[ -i\partial_tb_{12}(u,\;v)=-\partial^2_xb_{12}(u,\;v) +2\int_{-\infty}^\infty dw_1dw_2b_{12}(u,\;w_1)b_{21}(w_1,\;w_2)b_{12}(w_2,\;v), \] \[ i\partial_tb_{21}(u,\;v)=-\partial^2_xb_{21}(u,\;v)+2\int_{-\infty}^\infty dw_1dw_2b_{21}(u,\;w_1)b_{12}(w_1,\;w_2)b_{21}(w_2,\;v). \] These integro-differential equations, in fact, are a continual generalization of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The correlation function of a local field plays the role of the \(\tau\)-function of these equations. In particular, the second logarithmic derivatives of the Fredholm determinant give the densities of the first and the second integrals of motion.
