“…By now, the gauge transformations of many integrable hierarchies related to KP hierarchy have been derived, for example, the constrained KP (cKP) hierarchy [8,9,10,13,16,20,21], the constrained BKP and CKP hierarchy [15,22] (cBKP and cCKP), the dKP hierarchy [19,18], the cdKP hierarchy [11], the q-KP hierarchy [23,24] and so on. The additional symmetry [25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37] is a kind of symmetry depending explicitly on the space and time variables, involved in so-called string equation and the generalized Virasoro constraints in matrix models of the 2d quantum gravity (see [6,38] and references therein). Regarding the possible application of the additional symmetry flows of the KP hierarchy in physics, it is natural to ask whether these flows are compatible with the gauge transformation.…”
