Cyclic Frobenius algebras

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the notion of cyclic Frobenius algebras (CF-algebras). Canonical structures of CF-algebras exist on associative and Poisson algebras. It turns out that the modern theory of integrable systems yields non-trivial examples of CF-algebras. In the theory of the KdV hierarchy there is a structure of CF-algebra which leads to explicit expressions for the first integrals of the N-th Novikov hierarchy, suitable for classical, non-Abelian and quantum cases.
