Lecture notes on Bihamiltonian structures and their central invariants (Q2313889)

In Section 2, some basic facts of finite-dimensional Poisson geometry are recalled. Particularly, an unusual way to introduce the Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket is presented. Section 3 deals with infinite-dimensional Poisson geometry. The jet bundles and differential polynomials are discussed. Then the evolutionary partial differential equations are considered. Moreover, the definition of Hamiltonian structures for partial differential equations is given. In Section 4, Hamiltonian structures are presented and some examples are considered. Furthermore, Miura transformations and their properties are pointed out. In the last part, homogeneous Hamiltonian structures with degree one are analyzed. Bi-Hamiltonian structures are discussed in Section 5: definition, examples, the deformation problem of a semisimple bi-Hamiltonian structure, bi-Hamiltonian vector fields. In Section 6, the notion of central invariants of a semisimple bi-Hamiltonian structure is introduced. The Frobenius manifolds are examplified. In the last subsection, the Drinfeld-Sokolov bi-Hamiltonian structure and its central invariants are introduced. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1411.14003].
