Non-Noether symmetries and their influence on phase space geometry. (English) Zbl 1056.70010

The paper connects certain non-Noether symmetries, not only to a number of conservation laws that under some conditions ensure integrability, but also to certain objects from the geometry of phase space: Lax pairs, bi-Hamiltonian structures, bicomplexes, Fröhlicher-Nijenhuis operators. Example of KdV suggests that some mysterious mathematical constructions (for instance, Lenard recursion operator, Lax pair and bi-Hamiltonian structure of KdV equation) that often carry no direct physical content, could be regarded as manifestations of non-Noether symmetries.
