An interpolating dispersionless integrable system

Abstract

We introduce a dispersionless integrable system which interpolates between the dispersionless Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation and the hyper-CR equation. The interpolating system arises as a symmetry reduction of the anti-self-dual Einstein equations in (2, 2) signature by a conformal Killing vector whose self-dual derivative is null. It also arises as a special case of the Manakov–Santini integrable system. We discuss the corresponding Einstein–Weyl structures.
