Kronecker webs, Nijenhuis operators, and nonlinear PDEs

Abstract

The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, a survey of the theory of Kronecker webs and their relations with bihamiltonian structures and PDEs is presented. Second, a partial solution to the problem of bisymplectic realization of a bihamiltonian structure is given. Both the goals are achieved by means of the notion of a partial Nijenhuis operator, which is studied in detail.
