tems including the coupled KdV equation, the 2-component Camassa–Holm equation and
the 2-component Hunter–Saxton equation. To our knowledge, most of them are new.

1 Introduction
For a classical rigid body with a fixed point, the configuration space is the group SO(3) of rota-
tions of three-dimensional Euclidean space. In 1765, L. Euler proposed the equations of motion
of the rigid body describing as geodesics in SO(3), where SO(3) is provided with a left-invariant
metric. In essence, the Euler theory of a rigid theory is fully described by this invariance.
Let G be an arbitrary (possibly infinite-dimensional) Lie group and G the corresponding Lie
algebra and G∗ the dual of G. V.I. Arnold in [3] suggested a general framework for Euler equations
onG, which can be regarded as a configuration space of some physical systems. In this framework
Euler equations describe geodesic flows w.r.t. suitable one-side invariant Riemannian metrics
on G and can be given to a variety of conservative dynamical systems in mathematical physics,
for instance, see [2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 28, 30, 32, 33, 35, 37, 39]
and references therein.
Since V. Ovsienko and B. Khesin in [35] interpreted the Kuper–KdV equation [23] as a geodesic
flow equation on the superconformal group w.r.t. an L2-type metric, it has been attracted a lot of
interest in studying super (fermionic or supersymmetric) anologue of Arnold’s approach, which
has some different characteristic flavors, for instance [2, 11, 16, 23, 24, 25, 36, 38].
In this paper, we are interested in Euler equations related to the N = 1 generalized Neveu–
Schwarz (GNS in brief) algebra G, which was introduced by P. Marcel, V. Ovsienko and C. Roger
in [29] as a generalization of the N = 1 Neveu–Schwarz algebra and the extended Virasoro
algebra. In [16], P. Guha and P.J. Ovler have studied the Euler equations related to the GNS
algebra G and obtained fermionic versions of the 2-component Camassa–Holm equation and the
Ito equation in some special metrics. Our motivations are twofold. One is to study the Euler
equation related to G for a more general metric Mc1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6 in (2.1) with six-parameters given

which can be regarded as a super-version of Sobolev-metrics in the super space. The other is to
study the condition under which Euler equations are supersymmetric or bi-superhamiltonian.
Our main results is to show that

structure (if c1 6= 0)
M0,c2,0,c2,c5,−c5 Yes Yes
As a byproduct, we obtain some supersymmetric or bi-superhamiltonian generalizations of some
well-known integrable systems including the coupled KdV equation, the 2-component Camassa–
Holm equation and the 2-component Hunter–Saxton equation.
This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we calculate the Euler equation on G∗reg
and discuss their Hamiltonian properties. In Section 3, we study bi-superhamiltonian Euler
equations. Section 4 is devoted to describe supersymmetric Euler equations, also including
a class of both supersymmetric and bi-superhamiltonian Euler equations. A few concluding
remarks are given in the last section.
2 Euler equations related to the GNS algebra
To be self-contained, let us recall the Anorld’s approach [4, 20, 21]. Let G be an arbitrary Lie
group and G the corresponding Lie algebra and G∗ the dual of G. Firstly let us fix a energy
quadratic form E(v) = 1
2〈v,Av〉
∗ on G and consider right translations of this quadratic form on G.
Then the energy quadratic form defines a right-invariant Riemannian metric on G. The geodesic
flow on G w.r.t. this energy metric represents the extremals of the least action principle, i.e., the
actual motions of our physical system. For a rigid body, one has to consider left translations.
We next identify G and its dual G∗ with the help of E(·). This identification A : G → G∗,
called an inertia operator, allows us to rewrite the Euler equation on G∗. It turns out that the
Euler equation on G∗ is Hamiltonian w.r.t. a canonical Lie–Poisson structure on G∗. Notice that
in some cases it turns out to be not only Hamiltonian, but also bihamiltonian. Moreover, the
corresponding Hamiltonian function is −E(m) = −1
2〈A
−1m,m〉∗ lifted from the Lie algebra G
to its dual space G∗, where m = Av ∈ G∗.
Definition 2.1 ([4, 20]). The Euler equation on G∗, corresponding to the right-invariant metric
−E(m) = −1
2〈A
−1m,m〉∗ on G, is given by the following explicit formula
dm
dt
= −ad∗A−1mm,
as an evolution of a point m ∈ G∗.
In the following, we take G to be the N = 1 generalized Neveu–Schwarz algebra [34]. Let V
be a Z2 graded vector space, i.e., V = VB ⊕ VF . An element v of VB (resp., VF ) is said to be
even (resp., odd). The super commutator of a pair of elements v, w ∈ V is defined by
[v, w] = vw − (−1)|v||w|wv.

On G, let us introduce an inner product Mc1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6 given by
〈F̂ , Ĝ〉 =
∫
S1
(
c1fg + c2fxgx + c3φ∂
−1χ+ c4φxχ+ c5ab+ c6α∂
−1β
)
dx+ ~σ · ~τ , (2.1)
which is a generalization of that in [11, 16]. By the Definition 2.1, the Euler equation on G∗reg
for Mc1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6 is
dÛ

= −ad∗A−1Û
Û (2.2)
as an evolution of a point Û=

2 , ~ς
)
∈G∗, whereA : G→G∗
is an inertia operator defined by
〈F̂ , Ĝ〉 = 〈A(F̂ ), Ĝ〉∗.
A direct computation shows that the inertia operator A : G → G∗ has the form
A(F̂ ) =
(
Λ(f)dx2,Θ(φ)dx

,
where Λ(f) = c1f − c2fxx and Θ(φ) = c4φx − c3∂−1φ. Thus we have
Proposition 2.3. The Euler equation (2.2) on G∗reg for Mc1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6 reads

where u = Λ(f) = c1f − c2fxx, ψ = Θ(φ) = c4φx − c3∂−1φ, v = c5a and γ = c6∂
−1α.
Let us remark that the system (2.3) has been obtained in [16] with minor typos. But they
didn’t discuss the condition under which the Euler equation (2.3) is supersymmetric or bi-
superhamiltonian.
According to Definition 2.1, the Euler equation (2.3) has a natural Hamiltonian description [4,
20, 21]. Let Fi : G∗ → R, i = 1, 2, be two arbitrary smooth functionals. The dual space G∗
carries a canonical Lie–Poisson bracket

It follows from the definition of u, ψ and γ that

Hence, (2.5) could be easily verified by using (2.4) and (2.7). �
3 Bihamiltonian Euler equations on G∗reg
Unless otherwise stated, in the following we use “(bi)hamiltonian” to denote “(bi)-superhamil-
tonian”. In this section we want to study bihamiltonian Euler equations on G∗reg w.r.t. the
metric Mc1,c2,
1
4
c1,c2,c5,−c5 and propose some new bihamiltonian and fermionic extensions of well-
known integrable systems including coupled the KdV equation, the 2-CH equation and the 2-HS
equation.
3.1 The frozen Lie–Poisson bracket on G∗
reg
For the purpose of discussing possible bihamiltonian Euler equations, we introduce a frozen
Lie–Poisson bracket on G∗reg defined by
{F1, F2}1(Û) =
〈
Û0,
[
δF1

δF2

for a fixed point Û0 ∈ G∗. The corresponding Hamiltonian equation is given by
dÛ
dt
= −ad∗δH2
δÛ
Û0 (3.1)
for a functional H2 : G∗reg → R. If we could find a functional H2 and a suitable point Û0 ∈ G∗reg
such that the system (3.1) coincides with (2.3). This means that the Euler equation (2.3) is
bihamiltonian and could be written as
d
dt
(u, ψ, v, γ)T = J1

with Hamiltonian operators J2 in (2.4) and J1 = J2|Û=Û0
. Moreover, according to Proposi-
tion 5.3 in [20], { , }1 and { , }2 are compatible for every freezing point Û0.

In this case, we have
c1 = 4 c3, c2 = c4, c6 = −c5.
By setting φ = ηx and α = µx, then
u = Λ(f) = c1f − c2fxx, ψ = Π(η) = c2ηxx −

c1η, v = c5a, γ = −c5µ (3.2)

We call this system (3.6) to be a Kuper-2KdV equation. Especially, (1) if we set η = µ = 0, we
have
ft = ς1fxxx − ς2axx − 3ffx − aax, at = ς2fxx − 2ς3ax − (af)x,
which is a two-component generalization of the KdV equation with three parameters including
the Ito equation in [17] for ς1 6= 0, ς2 = ς3 = 0; (2) if we set ς1 = 1

Let us remark that when we choose ς1 = 1
4 and ς2 = ς3 = 0, up to a rescaling, the Kuper–2KdV
equation (3.6) is the super-Ito equation (equation (4.14b) in [1]) proposed by M. Antonowicz
and A.P. Fordy, which has three Hamiltonian structures. According to our terminologies, we
would like to call it the Kuper–Ito equation.

We call this system (3.7) to be a Kuper–2CH equation. Especially, (1) if we set ς1 = ς2 = ς3 = 0
and η = µ = 0, we have
ft − fxxt = 2fxfxx + ffxxx − 3ffx − aax, at = −(af)x,
which is the 2-CH equation in [6, 13]; (2) if by setting ς1 = ς2 = ς3 = 0, a = 0 and µ = 0, the
system (3.7) becomes

4 Supersymmetric Euler equations on G∗reg
In this section, we want to discuss a class of supersymmetric Euler equations on G∗ associa-
ted to a special metric Mc1,c2,c1,c2,c5,−c5 . Moreover, we present a class of supersymmetric and
bihamiltonian Euler equations.
4.1 Supersymmetric Euler equations on G∗
reg w.r.t. Mc1,c2,c1,c2,c5,−c5
In this case, we have
c1 = c3, c2 = c4, c6 = −c5.
By setting φ = ηx and α = µx, we obtain
u = c1f − c2fxx, ψ = c2ηxx − c1η, v = c5a, γ = −c5µ.
Let us define a superderivative D by D = ∂θ + θ∂x and introduce two superfields
Φ = η + θf, Ω = µ+ θa,
where θ is an odd coordinate. A direct computation gives
Euler Equations Related to the Generalized Neveu–Schwarz Algebra 9
Theorem 4.1. The Euler equation (2.3) on G∗reg w.r.t. Mc1,c2,c1,c2,c5,−c5 is invariant under the
supersymmetric transformation
δf = θηx, δη = θf, δa = θµx, δµ = θa

We call this system (4.2) to be a super-2KdV equation. Especially, (1) if we set η = µ = 0, we
recover the two-component KdV equation again; (2) but if we choose ς1 = 1
2 , ς2 = ς3 = 0 and
Ω = 0, the system (4.2) becomes

We call this system (4.3) to be a super-2CH equation. Especially, (1) if we set ς1 = ς2 = ς3 = 0
and η = µ = 0, we obtain the 2-CH equation in [6, 13] again; (2) but if by setting ς1 = ς2 = ς3 = 0

4.3 Supersymmetric and bihamiltonian Euler equations
w.r.t. M0,c2,0,c2,c5,−c5 on G∗
reg
Let us combine with Theorem 3.1 and Theorem 4.1, we have
Theorem 4.4. The Euler equation on G∗reg w.r.t. the metric M0,c2,0,c2,c5,−c5 is supersymmetric
and bihamiltonian.
Example 4.5 (an Ḣ1-type metric M0,1,0,1,1,−1). The systems (4.1) reduces to

We call this system (4.4) to be a super-2HS equation. Especially, (i) if we set ς1 = ς2 = ς3 = 0
and η = µ = 0, we have
−fxxt = 2fxfxx + ffxxx − aax, at = −(af)x,
which is a 2-HS equation in [39]; (ii) if by setting ς1 = ς2 = ς3 = 0 and Ω = 0, the system (4.4)
becomes

which is the super-HS equation in [5, 24].
5 Concluding remarks
We have described Euler equations associated to the GNS algebra and shown that under which
conditions there are superymmetric or bihamiltonian. Here we only obtain some sufficient
conditions but not necessary conditions. As an application, we have naturally presented several
generalizations of some well-known integrable systems including the Ito equation, the 2-CH
equation and the 2-HS equation. It is well-known that the Virasoro algebra, the extended
Virasoro algebra and the Neveu–Schwarz algebras are subalgebras of the GNS algebra. Thus
our result could be regarded as a generalization of that related to those subalgebras, see for
instances [2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 28, 30, 32, 33, 35, 37, 39]
and references therein. In the past twenty years, in this subject it has grown in many different
directions, please see [21] and references therein. Finally let us point out that in this paper all
super-Hamiltonian operators are even. Recently, in [5, 26, 27], the classical Harry–Dym equation
is supersymmetrized in two ways, either by even supersymmetric Hamiltonian operators or by
odd supersymmetric Hamiltonian operators. Notice that the HS equation is one of a member of
negative Harry–Dym hierarchy. It would be interesting to investigate whether the above point
of view has an extension to the odd supersymmetric integrable system, for instance, the odd HS
equation.
