Abstract
We prove two conjectures on the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) and modified KdV (mKdV) hierarchies and Schur Q-functions presented by Yamada. The first one is that the functions defined by Sato and Mori in 1980 coincide with Schur Q-functions indexed by even or odd strict partitions. Mizukawa, Nakajima, and Yamada gave an expression for this function using symmetric functions and Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. We prove that this expression coincides with the Schur Q-function by using the formula of Lascoux, Leclerc, and Thibon. The second one is that Schur Q-functions indexed by strict partitions which have odd parts form a basis for the space of Hirota polynomials of the KdV hierarchy, and that Schur Q-functions indexed by strict partitions which have even parts form a basis for the space of Hirota polynomials of the mKdV hierarchy. This conjecture is verified by rewriting the generating series of the KdV and mKdV hierarchies using the techniques of symmetric functions.
期刊介绍:
MPAG is a peer-reviewed journal organized in sections. Each section is editorially independent and provides a high forum for research articles in the respective areas.
The entire editorial board commits itself to combine the requirements of an accurate and fast refereeing process.
The section on Probability and Statistical Physics focuses on probabilistic models and spatial stochastic processes arising in statistical physics. Examples include: interacting particle systems, non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, integrable probability, random graphs and percolation, critical phenomena and conformal theories. Applications of probability theory and statistical physics to other areas of mathematics, such as analysis (stochastic pde''s), random geometry, combinatorial aspects are also addressed.
The section on Quantum Theory publishes research papers on developments in geometry, probability and analysis that are relevant to quantum theory. Topics that are covered in this section include: classical and algebraic quantum field theories, deformation and geometric quantisation, index theory, Lie algebras and Hopf algebras, non-commutative geometry, spectral theory for quantum systems, disordered quantum systems (Anderson localization, quantum diffusion), many-body quantum physics with applications to condensed matter theory, partial differential equations emerging from quantum theory, quantum lattice systems, topological phases of matter, equilibrium and non-equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics, multiscale analysis, rigorous renormalisation group.
