Commutator identities on associative algebras and the integrability of nonlinear revolution equations

摘要

We show that commutator identities on associative algebras generate solutions of the linearized versions of integrable equations. In addition, we introduce a special dressing procedure in a class of integral operators that allows deriving both the nonlinear integrable equation itself and its Lax pair from such a commutator identity. The problem of constructing new integrable nonlinear evolution equations thus reduces to the problem of constructing commutator identities on associative algebras.
