In analogy with the well-known 2-linkage tractor-trailer problem, we define a 2-linkage problem in the plane with novel non-holonomic “no-slip” conditions. Using constructs from sub-Riemannian geometry, we look for geodesics corresponding to linkage motion with these constraints (“tricycle kinematics”). The paths of the three vertices turn out to be critical points for functionals which appear in the hierarchy of conserved quantities for the planar filament equation, a well known completely integrable evolution equation for planar curves. We show that the geodesic equations are completely integrable, and present a second connection to the planar filament equation.

Abstract Building on work of Gerstenhaber, we show that the space of integrable derivations on an Artin algebra forms a Lie algebra, and a restricted Lie algebra if contains a field of characteristic . We deduce that the space of integrable classes in forms a (restricted) Lie algebra that is invariant under derived equivalences, and under stable equivalences of Morita type between self‐injective algebras. We also provide negative answers to questions about integrable derivations posed by Linckelmann and by Farkas, Geiss and Marcos. Along the way, we compute the first Hochschild cohomology of the group algebra of any symmetric group.more » « less
