# Invariant manifolds for the hyperbolic type integrable equations and their applications

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a method to construct generalized invariant manifolds for hyperbolic type integrable PDEs, enabling the derivation of recursion operators that generate symmetries, thus advancing the understanding of their integrable structure.

## Contribution

It presents a novel approach to construct invariant manifolds for integrable PDEs, linking them to recursion operators and symmetries, especially for hyperbolic type equations.

## Key findings

- Invariant manifolds can be constructed for continuous and discrete hyperbolic integrable equations.
- Properly chosen manifolds allow the derivation of recursion operators.
- Both recursion operators are related to different parametrizations of the same invariant manifold.

## Abstract

We assign some kind of invariant manifolds to a given integrable PDE (its discrete or semi-discrete variant). First, we linearize the equation around its arbitrary solution $u$. Then we construct a differential (respectively, difference) equation compatible with the linearized equation for any choice of $u$. This equation defines a surface called a generalized invariant manifold. In a sense, the manifold generalizes the symmetry, which is also a solution to the linearized equation. In this paper, we concentrate on continuous and discrete models of hyperbolic type. It is known that such kind equations have two hierarchies of symmetries, corresponding to the characteristic directions. We have shown that properly chosen generalized invariant manifold allows one to construct recursion operators that generate these symmetries. It is surprising that both recursion operators are related to different parametrizations of the same invariant manifold. Therefore, knowing one of the recursion operators for the hyperbolic type integrable equation (having no pseudo-constants) we can immediately find the second one.
