Veronese webs and nonlinear PDEs (Q2400265)

From the authors' abstract: In this paper we show relations of Veronese three-dimensional webs to several other integrable equations, deform these equations preserving integrability via a dispersionless Lax pair and compute the corresponding contact symmetries, Bäcklund transformations and Einstein-Weyl structures. Realization of Veronese webs through solutions of these deformed integrable PDE is based on a correspondence between partially integrable Nijenhuis operators to the operator fields with vanishing Nijenhuis tensor. This correspondence could be used to construct a link between bi-Hamiltonian finite-dimensional integrable systems and dispersionless integrable PDE related to the Veronese webs.
