Multivariable Burchnall–Chaundy theory

Burchnall & Chaundy (Burchnall & Chaundy 1928 Proc. R. Soc. A 118 , 557–583) classified the (rank 1) commutative subalgebras of the algebra of ordinary differential operators. To date, there is no such result for several variables. This paper presents the problem and the current state of the knowledge, together with an interpretation in differential Galois theory. It is known that the spectral variety of a multivariable commutative ring will not be associated to a KP-type hierarchy of deformations, but examples of related integrable equations were produced and are reviewed. Moreover, such an algebro-geometric interpretation is made to fit into A.N. Parshin's newer theory of commuting rings of partial pseudodifferential operators and KP-type hierarchies which uses higher local fields.

We review some aspects of the theory of Lie algebras of (twisted and untwisted) formal pseudodifferential operators in one and several variables in a general algebraic context. We focus mainly on the construction and classification of nontrivial central extensions. As applications, we construct hierarchies of centrally extended Lie algebras of formal differential operators in one and several variables, Manin triples and hierarchies of nonlinear equations in Lax and zero curvature form.

In our paper [U2], we proved the irreducibility of the first differential equation y″ = 6y2 + x of Painlevé. In that paper we explained the origin of the problem and the importance of giving a rigorous proof. We can say that our method in [U2] is algebraic and finite dimensional in contrast to a prediction of Painlevé who expected a proof depending on the infinite dimensional differential Galois theory. Even nowadays the latter remains to be established. It seems that Painlevé needed an armament with the general theory (the infinite dimensional differential Galois theory) in the controversy with R. Liouville on the mathematical foundation of the proof of the irreducibility of the first differential equation (1902-03).
