Lagrangian approach to integrable systems yields new symplectic structures for KdV (English)
0 references
The starting point of this paper is the remark that degenerate Lagrangians yield Hamiltonian operators for integrable systems via Dirac's theory of constraints. This fact is illustrated by a systematic discussion of the first Hamiltonian structure of KdV. As a conclusion, the author obtains that KdV admits infinitely many Lagrangian formulations, and therefore infinitely many symplectic structures.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0964.00039].
