Asymmetric rational reductions of 2D-Toda hierarchy and a generalized Frobenius manifold
Haonan Qu, Qiulan Zhao
TL;DR
This work investigates the asymmetric rational reductions of the 2D-Toda hierarchy, deriving local bihamiltonian structures for types $(2,1)$ and $(1,2)$ at full dispersion and computing their central invariants. It constructs a three-dimensional generalized Frobenius manifold $M$ with non-flat unity from the $(2,1)$ reduction and shows that its dispersionless flows form the Principal Hierarchy of $M$, with explicit Legendre transformations connecting $M$ to the bi-graded Toda and constrained KP Frobenius manifolds. The authors establish explicit linear reciprocal transformations linking the RR2T to both extended bi-graded Toda and constrained KP hierarchies, providing a unified topological framework corroborated by spectral and Miura-type analyses. The results illuminate deep connections between RR2T, Frobenius geometry, and well-known integrable hierarchies, and suggest conjectures about central invariants for broader RR2T families and avenues for exploring symmetric reductions and topological deformations.
Abstract
We study the local bihamiltonian structures of the asymmetric rational reductions of the 2D-Toda hierarchy (RR2T) of types $(2,1)$ and $(1,2)$ at the full-dispersive level, and construct a three-dimensional generalized Frobenius manifold with non-flat unity associated with the $(2,1)$-type. Furthermore, we explicitly relate the $(2,1)$-type RR2T to the bi-graded Toda and constrained KP hierarchies via linear reciprocal and Miura-type transformations.
