An extended trace identity and applications (Q2476932)

From the abstract: For the loop algebras in the form of non-square matrices, their commuting operations can be used to set up linear isospectral problems. In order to look for Hamiltonian structures of the corresponding integrable evolution hierarchies of equations, an extended trace identity is obtained by means of commutators, which undoes the constraint on the known trace identity proposed by \textit{G. Tu} [J. Math. Phys. 30, No. 2, 330--338 (1989; Zbl 0678.70015)], and has an obvious simplicity in applications compared with the quadratic-form identity given by \textit{F. Guo} and \textit{Y. Zhang} [J. Phys. A, Math. Gen. 38, No. 40, 8537--8548 (2005; Zbl 1077.37045)].
