Toda lattice hierarchy and conservation laws (Q2638445)

Time evolutions of the Toda lattice hierarchies of Ueno and Takasaki are induced by Hamiltonians which are conservation laws for the original (one and two dimensional) Toda lattice obtained by Olive and Turok. Moreover these Hamiltonians for two dimensional Toda lattice hierarchy are also conserved quantities of the two component Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy in which that system is embedded. The one dimensional Toda lattice heirarchy is characterized by the bilinear relations, and a new version of the one dimensional Toda lattice hierarchy is constructed. Generalized Toda lattice hierarchies associated to all affine Lie algebras are presented.
