Abstract

We consider the hydrodynamics of the ideal fluid on a 2-torus and its Moyal deformations. The both type of equations have the form of the Euler-Arnold tops. The Laplace operator plays the role of the inertia-tensor. It is known that 2-d hydrodynamics is non-integrable. After replacing of the Laplace operator by a distinguish pseudo-differential operator the deformed system becomes integrable. It is an infinite rank Hitchin system over an elliptic curve with transition functions from the group of the non-commutative torus. In the classical limit we obtain an integrable analog of the hydrodynamics on a torus with the inertia-tensor operator ∂2 instead of the conventional Laplace operator ∂∂.
