On non-Abelian Toda A2(1) model and related hierarchies.

We study limiting cases of the two known integrable chiral-type models with three-dimensional configuration space. One of the initial models is the non-Abelian Toda A2(1) model and the other was found by means of the symmetry approach by Meshkov and Demskoi [Theor. Math. Phys. 134, 351 (2003)]. The C-integrability of the reduced models is established by constructing their complete sets of integrals and general solutions. A description of the generalized symmetry algebras of these models is given in terms of operator mapping integrals into symmetries. The integrals of the Liouville-type systems are known to define Miura-type transformations for their generalized symmetries. This fact allowed us to find a few new systems of the Yajima–Oikawa type. We present a recursion operator for one them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
