Abstract

By taking values in a commutative subalgebra , we construct a new generalized -Heisenberg ferromagnet model in (1+1)-dimensions. The corresponding geometrical equivalence between the generalized -Heisenberg ferromagnet model and -mixed derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation has been investigated. The Lax pairs associated with the generalized systems have been derived. In addition, we construct the generalized -inhomogeneous Heisenberg ferromagnet model and -Ishimori equation in (2+1)-dimensions. We also discuss the integrable properties of the multi-component systems. Meanwhile, the generalized Zn-nonlinear Schrödinger equation, Zn-Davey–Stewartson equation and their Lax representation have been well studied.

1. Introduction

The Heisenberg ferromagnet (HF) model is one of the most investigated integrable systems which plays an important role in the two-dimensional (2D) gravity theory [1] and anti-de Sitter/conformal field theories [2, 3]. It is proved that the HF model is gauge and geometric equivalent to the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation [4, 5]. (1+1)-dimensional generalized HF models involving inhomogeneous and higher order deformed HF models have been analyzed [6, 7]. The deformed HF models in (2+1)-dimensions also have been investigated, such as the higher order HF models [8, 9], the HF models with self-consistent potentials [10], the Ishimori equation [11], and inhomogeneous HF models [12, 13].

Multi-component version of the integrable systems has deserved much attention due to its wide application in multiple orthogonal polynomials, representation theory, random matrix model, the related Riemann-Hilbert problems, and Brownian motions [1418]. Many important integrable systems have been extended to their multi-component counterparts, such as multi-component KP [19, 20], multi-component Toda systems [14], and multi-component BKP [21]. After considering commutative subalgebra of diagonal matrices, Bogdanov et al. [22] constructed the generalized multicomponent KP hierarchy which involves independent generalized scalar KP hierarchies. Starting from the maximal commutative subalgebra of , one [23, 24] constructed a new -Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy and investigated the existence of -functions. Meanwhile, the relation between dispersionless reduced -KP hierarchy and Frobenius manifold has been discussed. Recently, Li et al. [25] constructed the extended multi-component Toda hierarchy and extended multi-component bigraded Toda hierarchy. By virtue of taking values in a matrix-valued differential algebra set, they also establish a class of Hirota quadratic equation, which may be useful in Gromov-Witten theory and noncommutative symplectic geometry. In [25], one has defined the new multi-component sinh–Gordon systems by considering commutative subalgebra of and established their Bäcklund transformations. A natural problem then arises as to how to construct the corresponding extended HF models. With this motivation, this paper will be devoted to constructing three types commutative multi-component generalized HF models by taking values in commutative subalgebra. Furthermore, their corresponding geometrical and gauge equivalent counterparts shall be discussed.

This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we present a brief review of some elementary facts about the -HF model and -NLS equation. Section 3 is devoted to constructing the generalized -HF models and establishing the geometrical equivalence with the -mixed derivative NLSE. In Section 4, we investigate the generalized -inhomogeneous HF models and their structure and integrability. In addition, we deduce the multi-component Ishimori equation and discuss its corresponding gauge equivalent counterpart. The last section will be devoted to a summary and discussion.

2. -Heisenberg Ferromagnet Model

The Heisenberg ferromagnet (HF) model in (1+1)-dimensions [4] is an important integrable equation which reads as

4. Generalized -Heisenberg Ferromagnet Model in (2+1)-Dimensions

Many (2+1)-dimensional integrable inhomogeneous Heisenberg ferromagnet equations have been of interest, for instance, Inhomogeneous M-I equation [13] and the Ishimori equation [11]. The Ishimori equation [11] is a well-known (2+1)-dimensional integrable extension of the HF model, which involves an infinite dimensional symmetry algebra with a loop algebra structure and is solved by the inverse scattering transform approach. There is geometrical and gauge equivalence between the Ishimori equation and Davey-Stewartson equation [29, 30]. In this section, we shall derive the multi-component counterparts of two types deformed HF models in (2+1)-dimensions.

In order to derive the geometrical equivalent counterpart of (33), we identify in the vector form of the -generalized inhomogeneous HF model in (2+1)-dimensions (33) with the tangent vector of a curve . Then we have

Thus we obtain

By the equation

Substituting (43) and (44) into (28) and taking , we derive the -NLS equation

where

When , the -NLS equation (45) degrades into the (2+1)-dimensional focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation equation [13]. The Lax representation of the -HLS equation can be expressed as

4.2. -Ishimori Equation

Based on the multi-component generalization, we construct the multi-component Ishimori equation in (2+1)-dimensions

5. Summary and Discussion

Considering the commutative subalgebra , we have constructed three types generalized -HF models in (1+1) and (2+1)-dimensions. From the geometrical and gauge equivalence point of view, we also establish the corresponding equivalent counterparts of three types generalized -Heisenberg ferromagnet models. The introduction of new degrees of freedom may emerge from multiscale procedures or regularizations of gradient catastrophes. Their physical meaning and application should be of interest. The methods in the paper may clearly be applied to the other generalized Heisenberg supermagnetic models. Therefore, other types of generalized -HF models still deserve further study.
