Title Virasoro Berry Phases in the KdV Equation
Abstract I consider a model of fluid particle motion given by the reconstructed KdV equation on a circle. For travelling waves that are "uniformizable" in a suitable sense, the map that governs stroboscopic motion can be derived analytically. The particle's drift velocity, then, is essentially the Poincaré rotation number of that map, and has a geometric origin: it is the sum of a dynamical phase, a geometric/Berry phase, and an "anomalous phase". The last two phases are universal, as they follow entirely from the underlying Virasoro group structure. The Berry phase, in particular, is produced by a sequence of adiabatic conformal transformations due to the moving wave profile, and was previously found in two-dimensional conformal field theories.
