A systematic construction for supersymmetric negative (non-local) flows for mKdV and KdV based on $sl(2,1)$ with a principal gradation is proposed in this paper. We show that smKdV and sKdV can be mapped onto each other through a gauge super Miura transformation, together with an additional condition for the negative flows, which ensure the supersymmetry of the negative sKdV flow. In addition, we classify both smKdV and sKdV flows with respect to the vacuum (boundary) solutions accepted for each flow, whether zero or non-zero. Each vacuum is used to derive both soliton solutions and the Heisenberg subalgebra for the smKdV hierarchy, where we present novel vertex operators and solutions for non-zero bosonic and fermionic vacuum. Finally, the gauge Miura transformation is used to obtain the sKdV solutions, which exhibit a rich degeneracy due to both multiple gauge super Miura transformations and multiple vacuum possibilities., Comment: 49 pages, 2 figures

The construction of Integrable Hierarchies in terms of zero curvature representation provides a systematic construction for a series of integrable non-linear evolution equations (flows) which shares a common affine Lie algebraic structure. The integrable hierarchies are then classified in terms of a decomposition of the underlying affine Lie algebra $\hat {\cal{G}} $ into graded subspaces defined by a grading operator $Q$. In this paper we shall discuss explicitly the simplest case of the affine $\hat {sl}(2)$ Kac-Moody algebra within the principal gradation given rise to the KdV and mKdV hierarchies and extend to supersymmetric models. It is known that the positive mKdV sub-hierachy is associated to some positive odd graded abelian subalgebra with elements denoted by $E^{(2n+1)}$. Each of these elements in turn, defines a time evolution equation according to time $t=t_{2n+1}$. An interesting observation is that for negative grades, the zero curvature representation allows both, even or odd sub-hierarchies. In both cases, the flows are non-local leading to integro-differential equations. Whilst positive and negative odd sub-hierarchies admit zero vacuum solutions, the negative even admits strictly non-zero vacuum solutions. Soliton solutions can be constructed by gauge transforming the zero curvature from the vacuum into a non trivial configuration (dressing method). Inspired by the dressing transformation method, we have constructed a gauge-Miura transformation mapping mKdV into KdV flows. Interesting new results concerns the negative grade sector of the mKdV hierarchy in which a double degeneracy of flows (odd and its consecutive even) of mKdV are mapped into a single odd KdV flow. These results are extended to supersymmetric hierarchies based upon the affine $\hat {sl}(2,1)$ super-algebra., Comment: 22 pages Latex

The construction of negative grade KdV hierarchy is proposed in terms of a Miura-gauge transformation. Such gauge transformation is employed within the zero curvature representation and maps the Lax operator of the mKdV into its couterpart within the KdV setting. Each odd negative KdV flow is obtained from an odd and its subsequent even negative mKdV flows. The negative KdV flows are shown to inherit the two different vacua structure that characterizes the associated mKdV flows., Comment: 8 pages, 34th International Colloquium on Group Theoretical Methods in Physics

A systematic construction of a class of integrable hierarchy is discussed in terms of the twisted affine $A_{2r}^{(2)}$ Lie algebra. The zero curvature representation of the time evolution equations are shown to be classified according to its algebraic structure and according to its vacuum solutions. It is shown that a class of models admit both zero and constant (non zero) vacuum solutions. Another, consists essentially of integral non-local equations and can be classified into two sub-classes, one admitting zero vacuum and another of constant, non zero vacuum solutions. The two dimensional gauge potentials in the vacuum plays a crucial ingredient and are shown to be expanded in powers of the vacuum parameter $v_0$. Soliton solutions are constructed from vertex operators, which for the non zero vacuum solutions, correspond to deformations characterized by $v_0$., Comment: Latex 24 pages
