Bi-differential calculi and integrable models

Abstract

The existence of an infinite set of conserved currents in completely integrable classical models, including chiral and Toda models as well as the KP and self-dual Yang-Mills equations, is traced back to a simple construction of an infinite chain of closed (respectively, covariantly constant) 1-forms in a (gauged) bi-differential calculus. The latter consists of a differential algebra on which two differential maps act. In a gauged bi-differential calculus these maps are extended to flat covariant derivatives.
