A Strongly Coupled Extended Toda Hierarchy and its Virasoro Symmetry

Abstract

As a generalization of the integrable extended Toda hierarchy and a reduction of the extended multicomponent Toda hierarchy, from the point of a commutative subalgebra of gl(2, C), we construct a strongly coupled extended Toda hierarchy(SCETH) which will be proved to possess a Virasoro type additional symmetry by acting on its tau-function. Further we give the multi-fold Darboux transformations of the strongly coupled extended Toda hierarchy. (2010): 37K05, 37K10, 37K20. Mathematics Subject Classifications
