Abstract: The invariance of nonlinear partial differential equations under a certain infinite-dimensional Lie algebra A_N(z) in N spatial dimensions is studied. The special case A_1(2) was introduced in J. Stat. Phys. {�f 75}, 1023 (1994) and contains the Schr"odinger Lie algebra sch_1 as a Lie subalgebra. It is shown that there is no second-order equation which is invariant under the massless realizations of A_N(z). However, a large class of strongly non-linear partial differential equations is found which are conditionally invariant with respect to the massless realization of A_N(z) such that the well-known Monge-Ampere equation is the required additional condition. New exact solutions are found for some representatives of this class.

Review text

The invariance of nonlinear partial differential equations under a certain infinite-dimensional Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{A}_N(z)\) in \(N\) spatial dimensions is studied. The special case \(\mathfrak{A}_1(2)\) was introduced in [J. Stat. Phys. 75, 1023--1061 (1994; Zbl 0828.60095)] and contains the Schrödinger Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{sch}_1\) as a Lie subalgebra. It is shown that there is no second-order equation which is invariant under the massless realizations of \(\mathfrak{A}_N(z)\). However, a large class of strongly non-linear partial differential equations is found which are conditionally invariant with respect to the massless realization of \(\mathfrak{A}_N(z)\) such that the well-known Monge-Ampère equation is the required additional condition. New exact solutions are found for some representatives of this class.
