Thermal Operator and Cutting Rules at Finite Temperature and Chemical Potential
In the context of scalar field theories, both real and complex, we derive the cutting description at finite temperature (with zero/finite chemical potential) from the cutting rules at zero temperature through the action of a simple thermal operator. We give an alternative algebraic proof of the largest time equation which brings out the underlying physics of such a relation. As an application of the cutting description, we calculate the imaginary part of the one-loop retarded self-energy at zero/finite temperature and finite chemical potential and show how this description can be used to calculate the dispersion relation as well as the full physical self-energy of thermal particles.

DYNAMICAL SUPERSYMMETRY
We show, in a simple quantum mechanical model, how a theory can become supersymmetric in the presence of interactions even when the free theory is not. This dynamical generation of supersymmetry relaxes the condition on the equality of masses of the superpartners which would be of phenomenological interest.

The sTB-B hierarchy
Abstract We construct a new supersymmetric two boson (sTB-B) hierarchy and study its properties. We derive the conserved quantities and the Hamiltonian structures (proving the Jacobi identity) for the system. We show how this system gives the sKdV-B equation and its Hamiltonian structures upon appropriate reduction. We also describe the zero curvature formulation of this hierarchy both in the superspace as well as in components.

The hamiltonian structures of the KP hierarchy
Abstract We obtain the two hamiltonian structures of the KP hierarchy following the method of Drinfeld and Sokolov. We point out how the second structure of Drinfeld and Sokolov needs to be modified in the present case. We briefly comment on the connection between these structures and the W 1+∞ algebra.

Reply to “Comment on ‘Light-front Schwinger model at finite temperature’ ”
In the preceding comment, Blankleider and Kvinikhidze criticize the form of the thermal propagator used previously by us and propose an alternate thermal propagator for the fermions in the light-front Schwinger model. We show that, within the standard light-front quantization used by us, the thermal propagator for the fermions is unique as presented in that paper.

Bosonic Reduction of Susy Generalized Harry Dym Equation
In this paper, we construct the two-component supersymmetric generalized Harry Dym equation which is integrable and study various properties of this model in the bosonic limit. In particular, in the bosonic limit we obtain a new integrable system which, under a hodograph transformation, reduces to a coupled three-component system. We show how the Hamiltonian structure transforms under a hodograph transformation and study the properties of the model under a further reduction to a two-component system. We find a third Hamiltonian structure for this system (which has been shown earlier to be a bi-Hamiltonian system) making this a genuinely tri-Hamiltonian system. The connection of this system to the modified dispersive water wave equation is clarified. We also study various properties in the dispersionless limit of our model.

An alternative construction of the positive inner product in non-Hermitian quantum mechanics
Within the context of non-Hermitian quantum mechanics, we use the generators of eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian to construct a unitary inner product space. Such models have been of interest in recent years, for instance, in the context of PT symmetry, although our construction extends to the larger class of so-called pseudo-Hermitian operators. We provide a detailed example to illustrate the concept and compare with known results.

Supersymmetric polytropic gas dynamics
Abstract We construct the N =1 supersymmetric extension of the polytropic gas dynamics. We give both the Lagrangian as well as the Hamiltonian description of this system. We construct the infinite set of ‘‘ Eulerian" conserved charges associated with this system and show that they are in involution, thereby proving complete integrability of this system. We construct the SUSY-B extension of this system as well and comment on the similarities and differences between this system and an earlier construction of the supersymmetric Chaplygin gas. We also derive the N =1 supersymmetric extension of the elastic medium equations, which, however, do not appear to be integrable.

Lucas Polynomials and a Standard Lax Representation for the Polytropic Gas Dynamics
A standard Lax representation for the polytropic gas dynamics is derived by exploiting various properties of the Lucas and Fibonacci polynomials. The two infinite sets of conserved charges are derived from this representation and shown to coincide with the ones derived from the known non-standard representation. The same Lax function is shown to also give the standard Lax description for the elastic medium equations. In addition, some results on possible dispersive extensions of such models are presented.
