Integrable hamiltonian hierarchies: spectral and geometric methods

This book presents a detailed derivation of the spectral properties of the Recursion Operators allowing one to derive all the fundamental properties of thesoliton equations and to study their hierarchies. Thus it is demonstrated that the inverse scattering method for solving soliton equations is a nonlinear generalization of the Fourier transform. The book brings together the spectral and the geometric approaches and as such will be useful to a wide readership: from researchers in the field of nonlinear completely integrable evolution equations to post-graduate students. The only detailed presentation of the recursion operators both from geometric and spectral theory viewpoint INDICE: Introduction.- Lax Representation and AKNS Approach.- The Direct Scattering Problem.- The Inverse Scattering Problem.- The Generalized Fourier Transforms.- Fundamental Properties of the Solvable NLEEs.- Hierarchies of Hamiltonian Structures.- The NLEEs and Gauge Transformations.- The Classical R-Matrix Method.- Smooth Manifolds.- Hamitonian Dynamics.- Vector-Valued Differential Forms.- Integrability and Nijenhuis Tensors.- Poisson-Nijenhuis Structures Related to GZS System.- Linear Bundles of Lie Algebras and Compatible Poisson Structures.
