The theory of differential invariants and KdV Hamiltonian evolutions. (English) Zbl 1053.37046

Summary: The author proves that the second KdV Hamiltonian evolution associated to \(\text{SL}\) can be viewed as the most general evolution of projective curves, invariant under the \(\text{SL}\)-projective action on \(\mathbb RP^{n-1}\), provided that certain integrability conditions are satisfied. This way, she establishes a very close relationship between the theory of geometric invariance and KdV Hamiltonian evolutions. This relationship has been conjectured by A. González-López, R. H. Heredero and the author [J. Math. Phys. 38, No. 11, 5720–5738 (1997; Zbl 0892.58037)].
