Abstract: We recall the notions of Fr"olicher and diffeological spaces and we build regular Fr"olicher Lie groups and Lie algebras of formal pseudo-differential operators in one independent variable. Combining these constructions with a smooth version of the Mulase factorization of infinite dimensional groups based on formal pseudo-differential operators, we present two proofs of the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy in a smooth category. We also generalize these results to a KP hierarchy modelled on formal pseudo-differential operators with coefficients which are series in formal parameters, describe a rigorous derivation of the Hamiltonian interpretation of the KP hierarchy, and discuss how solutions depending on formal parameters can lead to sequences of functions converging to a class of solutions of the standard KP-I equation.

Review text

The authors firstly build regular Frölicher Lie groups and Lie algebras of formal pseudo-differential operators, then presented two proofs of the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the KP hierarchy, by combining these constructions with a smooth version of Mulase's deep algebraic factorization of groups on formal pseudo-differential operators. What's more, these results are generalized into a KP hierarchy with coefficients in terms of the series in formal parameters. The results in this article are very rich and very important, which may be helpful to better understanding the essential properties of the KP hierarchy.
