Differential equations compatible with KZ equations (Q1592530)

Let us consider a commutative algebra \(A\) of differential operators \(L(z,{\partial \over\partial z})\) acting on functions of one complex variable \(z\). Such an algebra is called bispectral if there exists a nontrivial family \(u(z,\mu)\) of common eigenfunctions depending on a spectral parameter \(\mu\) \[ Lu(z,\mu) =f_L (\mu)u(z,\mu),\;L\in A\tag{1} \] which is also a family of common eigenfunctions of a commutative algebra \(B\) of differential operators \(\Lambda(\mu, {\partial\over \partial\mu})\) with respect to \(\mu\) \[ \Lambda u(z,\mu)= \theta_\Lambda (z) u(z,\mu),\quad\Lambda \in B.\tag{2} \] This paper is devoted to the study of a class of examples of commutative algebras of partial differential operators acting on vector-valued functions with the bispectral property. This means that in (1), (2), \(u\) takes values in a vector space and \(f_L(\mu)\), \(\theta_\Lambda (z)\) are endomorphisms of the vector space. In the examples of the authors, the algebra \(A\) is generated by Kuizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) differential operators.
