We show how the supersymmetric KdV equation can be obtained from the self-duality condition on Yang-Mills fields in four dimensions associated with the graded Lie algebra OSp(2/1). We also obtain the hierarchy of SUSY KdV equations as well as the s-KdV equations from such a condition. We formulate the SUSY KdV hierarchy as a vanishing curvature condition associated with the U(1) group and show how an Abelian self-duality condition in four dimensions can also lead to these equations.

Recently, Kupershmidt [38] presented a Lie algebraic derivation of a new sixth-order wave equation, which was proposed by Karasu-Kalkani et al. [31]. In this paper, we demonstrate that Kupershmidt's method can be interpreted as an infinite-dimensional analogue of the Euler–Poincaré–Suslov (EPS) formulation. In a finite-dimensional case, we modify Kupershmidt's deformation of the Euler top equation to obtain the standard EPS construction on SO(3). We extend Kupershmidt's infinite-dimensional construction to construct a nonholonomic deformation of a wide class of coupled KdV equations, where all these equations follow from the Euler–Poincaré–Suslov flows of the right invariant L2 metric on the semidirect product group [Formula: see text], where Diff (S1) is the group of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms on a circle. We generalize our construction to the two-component Camassa–Holm equation. We also give a derivation of a nonholonomic deformation of the N = 1 supersymmetric KdV equation, dubbed as sKdV6 equation and this method can be interpreted as an infinite-dimensional supersymmetric analogue of the Euler–Poincaré–Suslov (EPS) method.

The N=2 fermionic extensions of the KdV equations are derived from the zero curvature condition associated with the graded Lie algebra of OSp(2/2). These equations lead to two bi-Hamiltonian systems, one of which is supersymmetric. We also derive the one-parameter family of N=2 supersymmetric KdV equations without a bi-Hamiltonian structure in this approach. Following our earlier proposal, we interpret the zero curvature condition as a gauge anomaly equation which brings out the underlying current algebra for the corresponding 2D supergravity theory. This current algebra is then used to obtain the operator product expansions of various fields of this theory.

A set of conformally covariant dressing transformations is constructed for the supersym-metric N=3 self-duality equations in four dimensions, using the associated covariant linear system. They form a closed, 5+6-index algebra, up to field-dependent gauge transformations, containing the previously known loop algebras as a particular subset. This construction generalizes the formerly built set of conformally covariant DT for ordinary self-dual Yang-Mills.

We use the logarithmic 2-cocycle and the action of V ect (S1) on the space of pseudodifferential symbols to derive one particular type of supersymmetric KdV equation, known as Kuper-KdV equation. This equation was formulated by Kupershmidt and it is different from the Manin–Radul–Mathieu type equation. The two Super KdV equations behave differently under a supersymmetric transformation and Kupershmidt version does not preserve SUSY transformation. In this paper we study the second type of supersymmetric generalization of the Camassa–Holm equation correspoding to Kuper-KdV equation via standard embedding of super vector fields into the Lie algebra of graded pseudodifferential symbols. The natural lift of the action of superconformal group SDiff yields SDiff module. This method is particularly useful to construct Moyal quantized systems.

We derive the two equations of Davey-Stewartson type from a zero curvature condition associated with SL(2, ℝ) in (2+1) dimensions. We show in general how a (2+1)dimensional zero curvature condition can be obtained from the self-duality condition in (3+3) dimensions and show in particular how the Davey-Stewartson equations can be obtained from the self-duality condition associated with SL(2, ℝ) in (3+3) dimensions.

Abstract We give a double copy construction for the symmetries of the self-dual sectors of Yang-Mills (YM) and gravity, in the light-cone formulation. We find an infinite set of double copy constructible symmetries. We focus on two families which correspond to the residual diffeomorphisms on the gravitational side. For the first one, we find novel non-perturbative double copy rules in the bulk. The second family has a more striking structure, as a non-perturbative gravitational symmetry is obtained from a perturbatively defined symmetry on the YM side.At null infinity, we find the YM origin of the subset of extended Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) symmetries that preserve the self-duality condition. In particular, holomorphic large gauge YM symmetries are double copied to holomorphic supertranslations. We also identify the single copy of superrotations with certain non-gauge YM transformations that to our knowledge have not been previously presented in the literature.

We obtain the (N+1)-th flow of the generalized (N–1)-KdV hierarchy from self-dual Yang-Mills equations with gauge group SL(N) and space-time signature (2, 2). The dimensional reduction is performed by using a pair of orthogonal Killing vector fields (one time-like and one null) and we generalize previous results by Mason and Sparling to N≥2. We illustrate our method with explicit examples and determine the form of the self-dual solutions for N=2, 3, 4. Applications of this formalism and its possible generalizations are also discussed briefly.

We consider strings with an N=2 local superconformal symmetry on the worldsheet. The critical dimension for this theory is four (two complex dimensions) with the signature (2, 2). A Kähler function giving rise to self-dual gravity is the only physical degree of freedom of this theory. Some miraculous symmetries are observed corresponding to the exchange of worldsheet and target moduli. The open and heterotic versions of this string theory correspond to self-dual Yang-Mills fields coupled to self-dual gravity in four dimensions.

The anti-self-duality equations for gauge fields in d = 4 and a generalization of these equations to dimension d = 4n are considered. For gauge fields with values in an arbitrary semisimple Lie algebra [Formula: see text] we introduce the ansatz which reduces the anti-self-duality equations in the Euclidean space ℝ4n to a system of equations breaking up into the well known Nahm's equations and some linear equations for scalar field φ.
