Covariant Lax operators and Kac-Moody algebras
It will be shown that covariantizing the Lax operators with a ‘‘time’’ independent non‐Abelian gauge connection leaves the dynamical equations invariant. However, the symmetries associated with the Schrodinger equation in such a case is enlarged. This is used to give a simple derivation of various Kac–Moody algebras associated with such Lax operators.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Screening length in (2+1)-dimensional Abelian Chern–Simons theories
Abstract In this Letter, we systematically study the question of screening length in Abelian Chern–Simons theories. In the Abelian Higgs theory, where there are two massive poles in the gauge propagator at the tree level, we show that the coefficient of one of them becomes negligible at high temperature and that the screening length is dominantly determined by the parity violating part of the self-energy. In this theory, static magnetic fields are screened. In the fermion theory, on the other hand, the parity conserving part of the self-energy determines the screening length and static magnetic fields are not screened. Several other interesting features are also discussed.

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.

The structure of supersymmetry in PT symmetric quantum mechanics
The structure of supersymmetry is analyzed systematically in PT symmetric quantum mechanical theories. We give a detailed description of supersymmetric systems associated with one-dimensional PT symmetric quantum mechanical theories. We show that there is a richer structure present in these theories compared to the conventional theories associated with Hermitian Hamiltonians. We bring out various properties associated with these supersymmetric systems and generalize such quantum mechanical theories to higher dimensions as well as to the case of one-dimensional shape invariant potentials.

LIGHTFRONT HAMILTONIAN STRUCTURES FOR THE NONLINEAR SIGMA MODEL
We derive the Dirac brackets for the O(N) nonlinear sigma model in the lightfront description with and without constraint. We bring out various subtleties that arise including the fact that antiperiodic boundary condition seems to be preferred.

Dispersionless fermionic KdV
Abstract We analyze the dispersionless limits of the Kupershmidt equation, the SUSY KdV-B equation and the SUSY KdV equation. We present the Lax description for each of these models and bring out various properties associated with them as well as discuss open questions that need to be addressed in connection with these models.
