Doubrov-Ferapontov general heavenly equation and the hyper-Kähler hierarchy

Abstract

We give a description of recently introduced Doubrov-Ferapontov general heavenly equation in terms of closed differential Plücker two-form, rationally depending on the spectral parameter. We demonstrate that general heavenly equation is an important generating equation in the context of Takasaki hyper-Kähler hierarchy, and it is also directly connected to hyper-Kähler geometry through the Gindikin construction. We develop a $\bar{\partial }$-dressing scheme and introduce a formula for the potential satisfying the general heavenly equation. Multidimensional generalization is also outlined.
