Extensions of the finite nonperiodic Toda lattices with indefinite metrics

Abstract: In this paper, we firstly construct a weakly coupled Toda lattices with indefinite metrics which consist of $2N$ different coupled Hamiltonian systems. Afterwards, we consider the iso-spectral manifolds of extended tridiagonal Hessenberg matrix with indefinite metrics what is an extension of a strict tridiagonal matrix with indefinite metrics. For the initial value problem of the extended symmetric Toda hierarchy with indefinite metrics, we introduce the inverse scattering procedure in terms of eigenvalues by using the Kodama's method. In this article, according to the orthogonalization procedure of Szeg\"{o}, the relationship between the $\tau$-function and the given Lax matrix is also discussed. We can verify the results derived from the orthogonalization procedure with a simple example. After that, we construct a strongly coupled Toda lattices with indefinite metrics and derive its tau structures. At last, we generalize the weakly coupled Toda lattices with indefinite metrics to the $Z_{n}$-Toda lattices with indefinite metrics.
