$${\mathcal{W}}$$ -Symmetry of the Adèlic Grassmannian

Abstract: Abstract. We give a geometric construction of the W 1+∞ vertex algebra as the infinitesimal form of a factorization structure on an adèlic Grassmannian. This gives a concise interpretation of the higher symmetries and Bäcklund-Darboux transformations for the KP hierarchy and its multicomponent extensions in terms of a version of "W 1+∞ -geometry": the geometry of D-bundles on smooth curves, or equivalently torsion-free sheaves on cuspidal curves.

“…Theorem E describes the exact size of the W -constraints of the tau functions associated to all points of the adelic Grassmannian. A geometric interpretation of the W -symmetries of the adelic Grassmannian was given by Ben-Zvi and Nevins in [7]. For all a ∈ C with a = 0 we have r i,a = i so that g a (W ) = 0.…”

“…In [BN5], we study the factorization (or "vertex algebra space") structure [BD2] on the adelic Grassmannian. This structure is shown to encapsulate both (infinitesimally) the W 1+∞ -symmetry of the KP hierarchy and (globally) the Bäcklund transformations.…”

“…The irreducible quotient of M c by its maximal graded, proper D-submodule is a simple vertex algebra, and is often denoted by W 1+∞,c . These algebras have been studied extensively in both the physics and mathematics literature; see for example [1,2,3,7,8,14,22]. The above central extension is normalized so that M c is reducible if and only if c ∈ Z.…”
