Constrained lattice-field hierarchies and Toda system with Block symmetry

Abstract

In this paper, we construct the additional [Formula: see text]-symmetry and ghost symmetry of two-lattice field integrable hierarchies. Using the symmetry constraint, we construct constrained two-lattice integrable systems which contain several new integrable difference equations. Under a further reduction, the constrained two-lattice integrable systems can be combined into one single integrable system, namely the well-known one-dimensional original Toda hierarchy. We prove that the one-dimensional original Toda hierarchy has a nice Block Lie symmetry.
