The Hamiltonian Structures of the super KP hierarchy Associated with an Even Parity SuperLax Operator

Abstract

We consider the even parity superLax operator for the supersymmetric KP hierarchy of the form $L~=~D^2 + \sum_{i=0}^\infty u_{i-2} D^{-i+1}$ and obtain the two Hamiltonian structures following the standard method of Gelfand and Dikii. We observe that the first Hamiltonian structure is local and linear whereas the second Hamiltonian structure is non-local and nonlinear among the superfields appearing in the Lax operator. We discuss briefly on their connections with the super $w_{\infty}$ algebra.
