1. Introduction• Non-Commutative (NC) spaces are defined by

noncommutativity of the coordinates:

This looks like CCR in QM:( ``space-space uncertainty relation’’ )

Resolution of singulality( New physical objects)

e.g. resolution of small instanton singularity( U(1) instantons)

• Gauge theories are realized on D-branes which are solitons in string theories

• In this context, NC solitons are (lower-dim.) D-branesAnalysis of NC solitons Analysis of D-branes

(Q) How we get NC version of the theories?(A) They are obtained from ordinary commutative

gauge theories by replacing products of fields with star-products:

3. NC Sato’s Theory• Sato’s Theory : one of the most beautiful

theory of solitons– Based on the exsitence of

hierarchies and tau-functions• Sato’s theory reveals essential

aspects of solitons:– Construction of exact solutions– Structure of solution spaces– Infinite conserved quantities– Hidden infinite-dim. SymmetryLet’s discuss NC extension of Sato’s theory

4. Conservation Laws• We have obtained wide class of NC hierarchies

and NC (soliton) equations.

• Are they integrable or specialfrom viewpoints of soliton theories? YES !

Now we show the existence of infinite number of conserved quatities which suggests a hidden infinite-dimensional symmetry.

Conservation Laws• Conservation laws:

5. Conclusion and Discussion• We proved the existence of infinite conserved

quantities for wide class of NC hierarchies and gave the infinite conserved densities explicitly.

• Our results strongly suggest that infinite-dim. symmetry would be hidden in NC (soliton) equations.What is it ? theories of tau-functions are needed

(via e.g. Hirota’s bilinearization )the completion of NC Sato’s theory

• What is space-time noncommutativity ?• What is the twistor descriptions ? NC twistor theory

There are many things to be seen.
