Davey–Stewartson equations in (3 + 1) dimensions with an infinite-dimensional symmetry algebra

Abstract

This article is devoted to discovering Lie symmetry algebra of a (3+1)-dimensional Davey-Stewartson system which appears in the field of plasma physics. It is found that the algebra is an infinite dimensional one and of Kac-Moody type. Making use of these symmetries, some reduced equations to lower dimensions are also presented.
