Matrix-valued $θ$-deformed bi-orthogonal polynomials, Non-commutative Toda theory and Bäcklund transformation

Abstract: This paper is devoted to revealing the relationship between matrix-valued $\theta$-deformed bi-orthogonal polynomials and non-commutative Toda-type hierarchies. In this procedure, Wronski quasi-determinants are widely used and play the role of non-commutative $\tau$-functions. At the same time, B\"acklund transformations are realized by using a moment modification method and non-commutative $\theta$-deformed Volterra hierarchies are obtained, which contain the known examples of the Itoh-Narita-Bogoyavlensky lattices and the fractional Volterra hierarchy.
