Integration of nonlinear dynamical systems is usually seen as associated to a symmetry reduction, e.g. via momentum map. In Lax integrable systems, as pointed out by Kazhdan, Kostant and Sternberg in discussing the Calogero system, one proceeds in the opposite way, enlarging the nonlinear system to a...

In 1984, Victor Kac [8] suggested an approach to a description of central elements of a completion of U(g) for any Kac-Moody Lie algebra g. The method is based on a recursive procedure. Each step is reduced to a system of linear equations over a certain subalgebra of meromorphic functions on the Cartan...

We consider a wide class of model equations, able to describe wave propagation in dispersive nonlinear media. The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is derived in this general frame under some conditions, the physical meanings of which are clarified. It is obtained as usual at leading order in some multiscale...
