We study the lntegrabfllty properties of the one-parameter family of N = 2 super Boussmesq equations obtained earher by two of us (E I & S K , Phys Lett B 291 (1992) 63) as a Hamfltonlan flow on the N = 2 super-W3 algebra We show that It admits nontrlwal h~gher order conserved quantities and hence gives rise to mtegrable hierarchies only for three values of the involved parameter, ~r = - 2 , - 1 / 2 , 5/2 We find that for the case c~ = - 1 / 2 there exists a Lax pair formulation in terms of local N = 2 pseudo-differential operators, while for ~ = - 2 the associated equation turns out to be b~-Hamlltonlan

I. Introduction D u r i n g the last few years there has been a considerable interest in the lntegrable e v o l u t i o n e q u a t i o n s assocmted with the W - t y p e algebras and superalgebras (see, e g , [ 1 - 8 ] ) Since the discovery [9,10] that the classical Vlrasoro algebra p r o v i d e s the second H a m l l t o m a n structure for the K d V hierarchy, there appeared a lot o f papers where various s u p e r s y m m e t r l c and W extensions o f this algebra were treated along a similar line and the relevant hierarchies o f the e v o l u t i o n e q u a t i o n s were d e d u c e d and analyzed In particular, integrable N = 1 [ 11 ], N = 2 [12], N = 3 [13] and N = 4 [14] s u p e r s y m m e t r l c K d V e q u a t i o n s have been constructed, with the N = 1, 2, 3, 4 super Vlrasoro algebras as the second H a m l l t o m a n structures In [ 1 ] it has been shown that the classical W3 algebra (with a n o n - z e r o central charge) defines a second H a m l l t o n l a n structure for the B o u s s m e s q hierarchy T h e Lax pair f o r m u l a t i o n o f the latter in terms o f the Gel'fand-D~ki1 pseudo-differential operators closely related to the H a m l l t o m a n f o r m u l a t i o n also has been given (see, e g , [2]) Obviously, s u p e r s y m m e t n c extensions o f the B o u s s m e s q e q u a t i o n should be associated, m the a b o v e sense, with super-W3 algebras In ref [8] two o f us (E I & S K ) have constructed, in a manifestly s u p e r s y m m e t r l c N = 2 superfield form, the m o s t general N = 2 super B o u s s m e s q e q u a t i o n for which the second H a m l l t o n i a n structure is given by the classical N = 2 super-W3 algebra [15,16] This e q u a t i o n t u r n e d out to c o n t a i n an arbitrary real p a r a m e t e r c~, m u c h hke the N = 2 super K d V e q u a t i o n [ 12] In this letter we address the q u e s t i o n o f eMstence o f the whole N = 2 Bousslnesq hierarchy, ~ e we e x a m i n e whether the e q u a t i o n constructed in [8] a d m i t s an infinite sequence o f c o n s e r v e d quantities in r e v o l u t i o n and a Lax pair f o r m u l a t i o n W e find that the n o n t r l v i a l higher o r d e r c o n s e r v e d quantities exist only for three values o f c~, n a m e l y for c~ = - 2 , - 1/2, 5 / 2 This again highly resembles the case o f N = 2 super K d V e q u a t i o n which IS k n o w n to give rise to the lntegrable hierarchies only for three special values o f the i n v o l v e d p a r a m e t e r [ 12] W e p r o v e the integrabihty o f the o p t i o n c~ = - 1/2 by finding the Lax pair for it (In terms o f the N = 2 pseudodifferentml o p e r a t o r s ) W e also show that the e q u a t i o n c o r r e s p o n d i n g to the choice c~ = - 2 possesses the first H a m l l t o n l a n structure T h i s property, together with the existence o f higher o r d e r c o n s e r v a t i o n laws, suggest that the c~ = - 2 e q u a t i o n is lntegrable as well Elsevier Science Pubhshers B V

2. N = 2 super Bousslnesq equation Let us first briefly recall the basic points o f ref [8] in what concerns the N = 2 super Boussmesq equation and its relation to the N = 2 super-W3 algebra All the basic currents of N = 2 super- W3 algebra [ 15-17 ] are accomodated by the spin 1 supercurrent J ( Z ) and the spin 2 supercurrent T ( Z ) , where Z = (x, 0, 0) are the coordinates of the N = 2, ID superspace The supercurrent J ( Z ) generates the N = 2 super Virasoro algebra, while T ( Z ) can be chosen to be primary with respect to the latter The closed set o f SOPE's for these supeicurrents, such that it defines the classical N = 2 super-W3 algebra, has been written down in [8] Here we prefer an equivalent notation via the super Polsson brackets

The N = 2 super Bousslnesq equation can be defined as the system of two N = 2 superfield equations for the supercurrents T, J with the N = 2 super-W3 algebra (2 1), (2 3), (2 4) as the second Hamiltonlan structure In other words, it amounts to the following set of evolutmn equations

The bosonlc sector o f e q s (2 10) is a coupled system of equations for two spin 2 currents and the spin 1 U(1 ) K a c - M o o d y current As was shown in ref [8], the standard Bousslnesq equation decouples from this system only for c~ = Presumably, th~s particular case corresponds to a N = 2 superextenslon of the Boussmesq equation constructed m terms of N = 1 superfields in [16] Note that the dependence on c m (2 10) is unessential and it can be removed by rescahng the superfields T and J For definiteness, in what follows we will put c = 8 On the contrary, the dependence on c[ is crucial for achieving mtegrabdaty m the next section we will see that only for three specml values of this parameter the above system results in integrable hierarchies

q u a n t m e s In this section we report on the results of our study of the ~ssue of existence of the higher order conserved quantities for (2 10) with c = 8 In searching for such objects we made use of the standard method of undetermined coefficients One considers an integral of degree n constructed from all the possible independent densities of degree n, each multlphed by an undetermined coefficient (Two densmes are dependent if their difference is a total (super)derivative) The coefficients are then fixed by reqmrxng the integral to be a conservation law, that is time-independent In this way, with the heavy use of the symbohc m a m p u l a t l o n program Mathematlca [ 18 ], we have found the following first six conserved q u a n t m e s

In the case at hand there ~s a substantml freedom compared to the bosomc case since one can shift the supercurrents J and T by independent constants However, a close inspection of the second Hamlltonian structure (2 1 ), (2 3) shows that only shifting the supercurrent T yields a self-consistent structure
