From nonassociativity to solutions of the KP hierarchy

Abstract

A recently observed relation between ‘weakly nonassociative’ algebras\(\mathbb{A}\) (for which the associator (\(\mathbb{A},\mathbb{A}^2 ,\mathbb{A}\)) vanishes) and the KP hierarchy (with dependent variable in the middle nucleus\(\mathbb{A}\)′ of {\(\mathbb{A}\)) is recalled. For any such algebra there is a nonassociative hierarchy of ODEs, the solutions of which determine solutions of the KP hierarchy. In a special case, and with matrix algebra\(\mathbb{A}\)′, this becomes a matrix Riccati hierarchy which is easily solved. The matrix solution then leads to solutions of the scalar KP hierarchy. We discuss some classes of solutions obtained in this way.
