A method is proposed to construct a new extended KP hierarchy, which includes two types of KP equation with self-consistent sources and admits reductions to k-constrained KP hierarchy and to Gelfand-Dickey hierarchy with sources. It provides a general way to construct soliton equations with sources and their Lax representations.
With the square eigenfunctions symmetry constraint, we introduce a new extended matrix KP hierarchy and its Lax representation from the matrix KP hierarchy by adding a new $tau_B$ flow. The extended KP hierarchy contains two time series ${t_A}$ and ${tau_B}$ and eigenfunctions and adjoint eigenfunctions as components. The extended matrix KP hierarchy and its $t_A$-reduction and $tau_B$ reduction include two types of matrix KP hierarchy with self-consistent sources and two types of (1+1)-dimensional reduced matrix KP hierarchy with self-consistent sources. In particular, the first type and second type of the 2+1 AKNS equation and the Davey-Stewartson equation with self-consistent sources are deduced from the extended matrix KP hierarchy. The generalized dressing approach for solving the extended matrix KP hierarchy is proposed and some solutions are presented. The soliton solutions of two types of 2+1-dimensional AKNS equation with self-consistent sources and two types of Davey-Stewartson equation with self-consistent sources are studied.
Using the determinant representation of gauge transformation operator, we have shown that the general form of $tau$ function of the $q$-KP hierarchy is a q-deformed generalized Wronskian, which includes the q-deformed Wronskian as a special case. On the basis of these, we study the q-deformed constrained KP ($q$-cKP) hierarchy, i.e. $l$-constraints of $q$-KP hierarchy. Similar to the ordinary constrained KP (cKP) hierarchy, a large class of solutions of $q$-cKP hierarchy can be represented by q-deformed Wronskian determinant of functions satisfying a set of linear $q$-partial differential equations with constant coefficients. We obtained additional conditions for these functions imposed by the constraints. In particular, the effects of $q$-deformation ($q$-effects) in single $q$-soliton from the simplest $tau$ function of the $q$-KP hierarchy and in multi-$q$-soliton from one-component $q$-cKP hierarchy, and their dependence of $x$ and $q$, were also presented. Finally, we observe that $q$-soliton tends to the usual soliton of the KP equation when $xto 0$ and $qto 1$, simultaneously.
A new (gamma_n,sigma_k)-KP hierarchy with two new time series gamma_n and sigma_k, which consists of gamma_n-flow, sigma_k-flow and mixed gamma_n and sigma_k evolution equations of eigenfunctions, is proposed. Two reductions and constrained flows of (gamma_n,sigma_k)-KP hierarchy are studied. The dressing method is generalized to the (gamma_n,sigma_k)-KP hierarchy and some solutions are presented.
We consider solutions of the KP hierarchy which are elliptic functions of $x=t_1$. It is known that their poles as functions of $t_2$ move as particles of the elliptic Calogero-Moser model. We extend this correspondence to the level of hierarchies and find the Hamiltonian $H_k$ of the elliptic Calogero-Moser model which governs the dynamics of poles with respect to the $k$-th hierarchical time. The Hamiltonians $H_k$ are obtained as coefficients of the expansion of the spectral curve near the marked point in which the Baker-Akhiezer function has essential singularity.
We consider solutions of the matrix KP hierarchy that are elliptic functions of the first hierarchical time $t_1=x$. It is known that poles $x_i$ and matrix residues at the poles $rho_i^{alpha beta}=a_i^{alpha}b_i^{beta}$ of such solutions as functions of the time $t_2$ move as particles of spin generalization of the elliptic Calogero-Moser model (elliptic Gibbons-Hermsen model). In this paper we establish the correspondence with the spin elliptic Calogero-Moser model for the whole matrix KP hierarchy. Namely, we show that the dynamics of poles and matrix residues of the solutions with respect to the $k$-th hierarchical time of the matrix KP hierarchy is Hamiltonian with the Hamiltonian $H_k$ obtained via an expansion of the spectral curve near the marked points. The Hamiltonians are identified with the Hamiltonians of the elliptic spin Calogero-Moser system with coordinates $x_i$ and spin degrees of freedom $a_i^{alpha}, , b_i^{beta}$.
