      Lagrangian approach to integrable systems yields new symplectic structures for KdV (English)

      The starting point of this paper is the remark that degenerate Lagrangians yield Hamiltonian operators for integrable systems via Dirac's theory of constraints. This fact is illustrated by a systematic discussion of the first Hamiltonian structure of KdV. As a conclusion, the author obtains that KdV admits infinitely many Lagrangian formulations, and therefore infinitely many symplectic structures.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0964.00039].
