Euler-poincaré formalism of coupled KdV type systems and diffeomorphism group on S1

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this paper we show that almost all the coupled KdV equations follow from the geodesic flows of L2 metric on the semidirect product space Diffs(S1) ⊙ C (S1), where Diffs(S1) is the group of orientation preserving Sobolev Hs diffeomorphisms of the circle. We also study the geodesic flow of a H1 metric.
