The Hamiltonian structure of the spin-4 operator algebra
Description
We discuss the general relation between the operator content of two-dimensional conformal field theories and the algebraic structures of integrable nonlinear differential equations. As an application, we use the Gel'fand-Dickey algebra of formal pseudodifferential operators to write down the commutation relations of the spin-4 operator algebra that arises in conformal field theory.
