The generalized Davey-Stewartson equations, its Kac-Moody-Virasoro symmetry algebra and relation to DS equations

Abstract

We compute the Lie symmetry algebra of the generalized Davey-Stewartson (GDS) equations and show that under certain conditions imposed on parameters in the system it is infinite-dimensional and isomorphic to that of the standard integrable Davey-Stewartson equations which is known to have a very specific Kac-Moody-Virasoro loop algebra structure. We discuss how the Virasoro part of this symmetry algebra can be used to construct new solutions, which are of vital importance in demonstrating existence of blow-up profiles, from known ones using Lie subgroup of transformations generated by three-dimensional subalgebras, namely $\Sl(2,\mathbb{R})$. We further discuss integrability aspects of GDS equations.
