Babelon–Bernard–Smirnov's surjectivity conjecture for the KdV evaluation map

Let D{\cal D} be the ring of commuting KdV derivations, let AA be the space of KdV fields, and let Sˉ2n\bar S_{2n} be defined by

exp(k=11kJ2kz2k)=n=0Sˉ2nz2n.\exp\left(-\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{k}J_{2k}z^{-2k}\right)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\bar S_{2n}z^{-2n}.

Using the identification H1C[Sˉ2,Sˉ4,]H_{-1}^\ast\simeq {\mathbb C}[\bar S_2,\bar S_4,\ldots], define the evaluation map

ev1:DC[Sˉ2,Sˉ4,]A\operatorname{ev}_1:{\cal D}\otimes {\mathbb C}[\bar S_2,\bar S_4,\ldots]\longrightarrow A

by P()Sˉ2α2Sˉ4α4P()(S2α2S4α4)P(\partial)\otimes\bar S_2^{\alpha_2}\bar S_4^{\alpha_4}\cdots\mapsto P(\partial)(S_2^{\alpha_2}S_4^{\alpha_4}\cdots). Babelon–Bernard–Smirnov's surjectivity conjecture. The map ev1\operatorname{ev}_1 is surjective. The conjecture asserts that every KdV field is obtained from the even KdV integrals by applying commuting KdV derivations. The supplied text does not establish its status.
