We construct integrable reductions of a soliton hierarchy associated with the special orthogonal Lie algebra so ( 3 , R ) . The resulting reduced integrable equations include a nonlinear Schrödinger type equation and a modified Korteweg–de Vries type equation. There are two kinds of integrable reductions in our analysis, but they lead to essentially the same scalar integrable equations. This is a particular phenomenon for soliton equations associated with so ( 3 , R ) , which is different from the one for soliton equations associated with sl ( 2 , R ) . • Scalar integrable equations associated with so(3,R). • Innovative reductions, which keep the existence of infinitely many symmetries and conservation laws.
