A family of integrable evolution equations of third order

Abstract

We construct a family of integrable equations of the form $v_t=f(v,v_x,v_{xx},v_{xxx})$ such that $f$ is a transcendental function in $v,v_x,v_{xx}$. This family is related to the Krichever-Novikov equation by a differential substitution. Our construction of integrable equations and the corresponding differential substitutions involves geometry of a family of genus two curves and their Jacobians.
