Nonholonomic deformation of coupled and supersymmetric KdV equations and Euler–Poincaré–Suslov method

Abstract

Recently, Kupershmidt [38] presented a Lie algebraic derivation of a new sixth-order wave equation, which was proposed by Karasu-Kalkani et al. [31]. In this paper, we demonstrate that Kupershmidt's method can be interpreted as an infinite-dimensional analogue of the Euler–Poincaré–Suslov (EPS) formulation. In a finite-dimensional case, we modify Kupershmidt's deformation of the Euler top equation to obtain the standard EPS construction on SO(3). We extend Kupershmidt's infinite-dimensional construction to construct a nonholonomic deformation of a wide class of coupled KdV equations, where all these equations follow from the Euler–Poincaré–Suslov flows of the right invariant L2 metric on the semidirect product group [Formula: see text], where Diff (S1) is the group of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms on a circle. We generalize our construction to the two-component Camassa–Holm equation. We also give a derivation of a nonholonomic deformation of the N = 1 supersymmetric KdV equation, dubbed as sKdV6 equation and this method can be interpreted as an infinite-dimensional supersymmetric analogue of the Euler–Poincaré–Suslov (EPS) method.
