Equations of KdV type and curve flows in affine space
Abstract:
The KdV equation is one of the most important equations in soliton theory. It can be generalized to Gelfand-Dikii hierarchy and there have been a lot of work related to it. In this talk, I will give a geometric interpretation of the equations in Gelfand-Dikii hierarchy as curve flows in $R^n$. I will also discuss Backlund transformation and Hamiltonian structures for these curve flows.
