On some linear equations associated with dispersionless integrable systems

Abstract

We use a recently proposed scheme of matrix extension of dispersionless integrable systems for the Abelian case, in which it leads to linear equations, connected with the initial dispersionless system. In the examples considered, these equations can be interpreted in terms of Abelian gauge fields on the geometric background defined by the dispersionless system. They are also connected with the linearisation of initial systems. We construct solutions to these linear equations in terms of wave functions of the Lax pair for dispersionless system, which is represented in terms of some vector fields.
