Abstract: The KdV hierarchy is a family of evolutions on a Schr"odinger operator that preserves its spectrum. Canonical systems are a generalization of Schr"odinger operators, that nevertheless share many features with Schr"odinger operators. Since this is a very natural generalization, one would expect that it would also be straightforward to build a hierarchy of isospectral evolutions on canonical systems analogous to the KdV hierarchy. Surprisingly, we show that there are many obstructions to constructing a hierarchy of flows on canonical systems that obeys the standard assumptions of the KdV hierarchy. This suggests that we need a more sophisticated approach to develop such a hierarchy, if it is indeed possible to do so.
