Bihamiltonian cohomologies and integrable hierarchies. I: A special case (Q387638)

The authors study the bi-Hamiltonian cohomologies associated with bi-Hamiltonian structures of hydrodynamic type, especially the third bi-Hamiltonian cohomology for the dispersionless KdV hierarchy. Using these results, they also study the deformation structure of the dispersionless KdV hierarchy and its bi-Hamiltonian structure, and prove a conjecture on the deformation by \textit{P. Lorenzoni} [J. Geom. Phys. 44, No. 2--3, 331--375 (2002; Zbl 1010.37041)].
