There exists a remarkable connection between the conformal field theory, the theory of KdV-type equations and Toda-type systems. Two-dimensional conformally invariant solvable field theories are based on various extensions of the chiral Virasoro algebras. One of the best known extensions is polynomial extension of the Virasoro algebra by higher spin fields. A large class of polynomial extensions of the Virasoro algebra can be constructed by quantizing the second Gel'fand-Dikii-Poisson bracket structure of Lax operators, used in the theory of integrable systems. Toda theories also provide a realization of \(W\)-algebras. Toda theories may be regarded as Wess-Zumino models (based on maximally non-compact simple real Lie groups) reduced by certain conformally invariant constraints. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0910.00044].
