Speaker: Alexander Odesskii (Brock University) Title: "Integrable Lagrangians and modular forms" Room: MC 106 Abstract: We investigate non-degenerate Lagrangians of the form ∫f(ux,uy,ut)dxdydt such that the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations (fux)x+(fuy)y+(fut)t=0 are integrable by the so-called method of hydrodynamic reductions. The integrability conditions, which constitute an involutive over-determined system of fourth order PDEs for the Lagrangian density f, are invariant under a 20-parameter group of Lie-point symmetries whose action on the moduli space of integrable Lagrangians has an open orbit. The density of the `master-Lagrangian' corresponding to this orbit is shown to be a modular form in three variables defined on a complex hyperbolic ball. | |
