The zero curvature formulation of the sKdV equations
The fermionic extensions of the KdV equation are derived from the zero curvature condition associated with the superalgebra OSp(2‖1). This derivation clarifies why there are only two such extensions possible and why only one of them is supersymmetric. A Lenard type of derivation of these equations is also presented.

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.

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.

Supersymmetric Moyal-Lax representation
The super Moyal–Lax representation and the super Moyal momentum algebra are introduced and the properties of simple and extended supersymmetric integrable models are systematically investigated. It is shown that, much like in the bosonic cases, the super Moyal–Lax equation can be interpreted as a Hamiltonian equation and can be derived from an action. Similarly, we show that the parameter of non-commutativity, in this case, is related to the central charge of the second Hamiltonian structure of the system. The super Moyal– Lax description allows us to go to the dispersionless limit of these models in a singular limit and we discuss some of the properties of such systems.

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.

Anomalous magnetic moment of electron in Chern–Simons QED
Abstract We calculate the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron in the Chern–Simons theory in 2+1 dimensions with and without a Maxwell term, both at zero temperature as well as at finite temperature. In the case of the Maxwell–Chern–Simons (MCS) theory, we find that there is an infrared divergence, both at zero as well as at finite temperature, when the tree level Chern–Simons term vanishes, which suggests that a Chern–Simons term is essential in such theories. At high temperature, the thermal correction in the MCS theory behaves as 1 β ln βM , where β denotes the inverse temperature and M , the Chern–Simons coefficient. On the other hand, we find no thermal correction to the anomalous magnetic moment in the pure Chern–Simons (CS) theory.

Light-front Schwinger model at finite temperature
We study the light-front Schwinger model at finite temperature following the recent proposal in \cite{alves}. We show that the calculations are carried out efficiently by working with the full propagator for the fermion, which also avoids subtleties that arise with light-front regularizations. We demonstrate this with the calculation of the zero temperature anomaly. We show that temperature dependent corrections to the anomaly vanish, consistent with the results from the calculations in the conventional quantization. The gauge self-energy is seen to have the expected non-analytic behavior at finite temperature, but does not quite coincide with the conventional results. However, the two structures are exactly the same on-shell. We show that temperature does not modify the bound state equations and that the fermion condensate has the same behavior at finite temperature as that obtained in the conventional quantization.

Generalized Benney lattice and the heavenly equation
We generalize the Benney lattice and show that the new system of equations can be reduced to a generalized Chaplygin gas as well as the heavenly equation. We construct two infinite sets of conserved charges and show that one of the sets can be obtained from the Lax function. The conserved densities are related to Legendre polynomials and we present closed form expressions for the generating functions for these densities which also determines the Riemann invariants of the problem. We prove that the system is bi-Hamiltonian and that the conserved charges are in involution with respect to either of the Hamiltonian structures. We show that the associated generalized elastic medium equations are bi-Hamiltonian as well. We also bring out various other interesting features of our model.
