(Non)local Hamiltonian and symplectic structures, recursions and hierarchies: a new approach and applications to the N=1 supersymmetric KdV equation

摘要

Using methods of Kersten et al (2004 J. Geom. Phys. 50 273-302) and Krasil'shchik and Kersten (2000 Symmetries and Recursion Operators for Classical and Supersymmetric Differential Equations (Dordrecht: Kluwer)), we accomplish an extensive study of the N = I supersymmetric Kortewegde Vries (KdV) equation. The results include a description of local and nonlocal Hamiltonian and symplectic structures, five hierarchies of symmetries, the corresponding hierarchies of conservation laws, recursion operators for symmetries and generating functions of conservation laws. We stress that the main point of the paper is not just the results on super-KdV equation itself, but merely exposition of the efficiency of the geometrical approach and of the computational algorithms based on it.
