Nonlinear Schrödinger equations and simple Lie algebras. (English) Zbl 0563.35062

This paper deals with a generalisation and classification of the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. A system of integrable, generalised NLS equations is associated with each Hermitian symmetric space. Each of these NLS equations is a reduction of a generalised second order ”N-wave” equation associated with a reductive homogeneous space which is no longer symmetric. The nonlinear terms are related to the curvature and torsion tensors of the appropriate geometrical space. The Hamiltonian structure is shown to be canonical for all these equations. This is done using the r-matrix techniques. This Hamiltonian structure does not degenerate throughout the reduction. Also it is shown that each of the NLS equations is gauge equivalent to a generalised ferromagnet. Further possible developments are indicated.
