GL(2)\mathrm{GL}(2)-structures in dimension four, HH-flatness and integrability

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We show that torsion-free four-dimensional GL(2)\mathrm{GL}(2)-structures are flat up to a coframe transformation with a mapping taking values in a certain subgroup H⊂SL(4,R)H\subset\mathrm{SL}(4,\mathbb{R}) which is isomorphic to a semidirect product of the three-dimensional continuous Heisenberg group H3(R)H_3(\mathbb{R}) and the Abelian group R\mathbb{R}. In addition, we show that the relevant PDE system is integrable in the sense that it admits a dispersionless Lax-pair.
