It is shown that the algebra of symmetries of a nonlinear evolution equation solvable by the inverse scattering transform method has a commutative part and a noncommutative one.
It is proved that all possible symmetries of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation may be enumerated by collections of integers \((n, m)\). It is shown that the action of \((m, 1)\) symmetries on the finite-gap solutions of this equation corresponds to the action of the conformal algebra on Riemann surfaces.
For the entire collection see [Zbl 0801.00009].
