How to use these higher symmetries and conservation laws?
For infinite dimensional integrable systems, there are usually infinite symmetries and conservation laws. For example, the KdV equation, the KP equation.
However, unlike the classical symmetries (...

basic questions on quantum integrable systems
I have been learning about (classical) integrable systems lately, e.g. in the examples of a Lax pair etc. I frequently run into the term 'quantum integrable system'. May I ask a few questions:
What ...

What is exactly the (singularity) confinement property ?
This property seems to be used both in the context of differential equations and several kinds of discrete equation systems or automata.
It seems to be related in certain case to the Painlevé ...

Kernel of a non-integrable connection
The Riemann-Hilbert correspondence states that the kernel of an integrable (zero curvature) connection is a local system. Here, a connexion on a vector bundle $E$ over a manifold $X$ is a morphism of ...

From Sato grassmannian to spectral curve
Assume a tau-function of the KP integrable hierarchy is fixed by the point of the Sato grassmannian (that is by a semi-infinite set of Laurant series $\varphi_k(z)=\sum_{m>0}a_{km}z^{-k+m}$). Can ...

About writing solutions of linear ODE's: Is this statement correct?
A motivating example: Consider the Hypergeometric equation
$$z(1-z) \frac{d^2y}{dz^2}+(c-(a+b+1)z) \frac{dy}{dz}-aby=0,$$
it has a solution given by the Gauss's Hypergeometric function
$$_2F_1(a,b;c;z)...
