An application of the nonlinear reciprocal transformations in the theory of DR hierarchies

Abstract

We prove that the DR hierarchy corresponding to the family of F-cohomological field theories without unit considered in a previous work of the first author together with D. Gubarevich can be ``trivialized'', i.e. reduced to two copies of the KdV hierarchy, using a simple nonlinear reciprocal transformation. This gives the first manifestation of a role of nonlinear reciprocal transformation in the theory of integrable systems associated to the moduli spaces of stable curves, beyond the dispersionless limit.
