We show that superconformal N = 2 transformation could be applied to the construction of the supersymmetric analogon of the reciprocal transformation. Due to it we present the connections between three different N = 2 supersymmetric
N=2
equation.
Keywords: superconformal transformation, Lax representation, supersymmetric Korteweg de Vries and Harry Dvm
equation.
1 Introduction
The reciprocal transformation, also known as hodo-graph transformation, plays an important role when we investigate relations among some nonlinear evolution equations fl] . For instance, the Harry Dym (HD) equation (or hierarchy), which is invariant under a kind of reciprocal transformation, is also reciprocally linked to the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation (or hierarchy).
Very recently, the reciprocal transformation was generalized to N = 1 supersymmetric equations, where a general procedure to construct supersymmetric reciprocal transformation was presented [2] . It appeared that this transformation is connected with the super-conforaml transformation [3] .
As applications, one of the supersymmetric HD equations was shown to be reciprocally linked to the supersymmetric modified KdV equation. This super-symmetric modified KdV equation is connected via the Miura transformation with the supersymmetric KdV equation.
As in the classical case, the supersymmetric reciprocal transformation could be employed to explore integrable properties of supersymmetric equations, which was illustrated by constructing the recursion operators and bi-Hamiltonian structures of the supersymmetric Harry Dym equation.
Besides N = 1 supersymmetric generalizations, the integrable systems also admit N = 2 extended super-symmetric generalizations [4-10]. The idea could almost be traced back to the usage of the supersymmetry in the quantum field theory. As a striking feature, N=2 extended case distinguishes itself from N = 1 nonextended case by the possibility to supply new classical integrable systems. The N = 2 supersymmetric KdV equations were proposed more than twenty years ago and have been studied extensively since then. Various
results for these equations have been obtained, including Lax representations, bi-Hamiltonian structures, bilinear formalism, and so on.
Very recently three different supersymmetric N = 2 of the Harry Dym equation have been also proposed. In this paper we show how these supersymmetric equations are connected each other by teh superconformal transformation.
The paper is organised as follow. In the second section we briefly recapitulate basic facts on the n =1,2 superconformal transformation. In the third section we disccuss the properties of the classical Harry Dym equation and explain how this equation is connected with the KdV equation. Fourth section constains the
N=2
HD equations. In the fifth sections the connection of N=2 N=2
contains concluding remarks.
2 N=1,2 superconformal transformation
The conformal map means a function which preserves angles. It is a general definition of conformal transformation.
The supersymmetric analogon of the conformal map could be constructed using the superconformnal transformations. From the technical reasons we distinguish two cases of the supersymmetry: the N = land N=2
A.) N =1 superconformal transformation.
In order to construct the super covariant operators let us consider the super diflteomorphism N = 1 in which we change [3]
X = (x, 9) ^ Z = (z, y) = (z(x, 9, y(x, 9)) (1)
D = 93x + 3e D = y9z + 07
Due to it one finds
D = (Dy)D+[(Dz) - y(Dy)]dz
(2)
Hence we have
Di = K-1
Diöi)Di +
(13)
We assume that D should transforms covariantly. It means that
D2 — K ^ — (D20i)Di + (D2$i)B2^ where K — (Di^i)2 + (D2^i)2. In fact we obtain
D ^ D — (Dy)-1 D ^ (Dz) — y(Dy)
It is a superconformal transformation. Example: Super Hill operator
d3 + $(x) ^ D3 + ^(Dy)-2(d3 + <^)(Dy)
(3)
D1D2 = K-1
dx = K-1
1 + 2r - Dirö-1©, 1 + 2r - D¿rd-1©.
(14)
(4) where r — log(K)/2. Based on them we can prove
Assuming the infinitesimal form of this transformation as
0-1D1D2 = d-1D1l
(15)
z(x, 0) — x + e(x, 0),
y(x, 0) — 0 + A(x, 0)
we obtain that
(5)
$(Z) = $(X) + A(D$) + (E := e + 9A)$x + ....
Se$(X) = 2 (D5 + 3$d + (D$)D + 2$x) E(X) (6)
From the last equation we obtain the following representation of the N=1 Virasoro algebra
{$(Z), $(£)} = (D5+3$d+(D$)D+2$x)S(x-x)(0-9)

where i = 1,2. The superderivatives are
Dfc = , Dk = + 9kdx, (k = 1, 2) (9)
Computing Dk we have
The two last formulas we will use extensively in the next sections.
3 Harry Dym Equation
The Harry Dym equation usually is written in three different but equivalent forms
_ t 1 ^ _1 3
wt — ( /— )xxx,vt — . v vxxx
V w 4
where
v = -21/3^, w
,ut = ( ^)
(16)
(17)
This equation is integrable and possesses the following Bi-Hamiltonian structure
wt = J1 -

Jw
J2-

Jw
(18)
where
H_1 = 2 j dx H_2 = — j dx w 1/5 w2 (19)
J1 = dx
J2 = dw + wd
(20)
Dfc = ((Dfcx) — 0¿(Dfc0¿)Jdx + (Dk0¿)D.
(10)
where the summation on the repeated index i is assumed.
To ensure that the superderivatives transform covariantly i.e. Dk = (Dk9i)Di we have to assume the constraints
The Harry Dym equation could be obtained from the so called standard or nonstandard Lax representation in a similar manner as for the KdV equation. The Lax representation plays an important role in the theory of integrable systems, because a lot of informations on the properties of the equations follows from these representations. In order to construct such representations for HD equation let us consider first the standard and nonstandard Lax representation of the Korteweg de Vries equation
wt = wxxx + 6wwx
(21)
(Dfc x) = 0j(Dfc 0¿)
(11)
Moreover to ensure that D| — dx, (k — 1, 2) we have assume also
^102) = —(©201), (©202) = (©101)
(12)
The Standard representation of KdV equation is
Ls = w + dxx, Ls,t = LsL (22)
while the nonstandard representation
Lns = d d 1w, Lns,t = [(Lns)>1 ,Lns L (23)

Now let us establish the reciprocal link between KdV ^ HD. This link could be formulated in three steps: first is to use a gauge transformation of the Lax operator, in the second step we apply the Miura transformation and in the last step we apply the reciprocal transformation
A.) Standard Lax operator:
I.) Gauge transformation
Ls = vLse f v = dxx — 2vdx + u — vx + v2
II.) Miura transformation
u = vx — v
III.) Reciprocal
y = w(x,t),t = t, dx = Wxdy
Ls = w2 dyy + (wx — 2vw)dy
where v = ^
2w
B.) Nonstandard Lax operator:
I.) Gauge transformation
Lns = ^ Lns^ = ^ dx ^ (dxx +
2^x ^ dx + ^xx^ + u)
II.) Analogon of Miura transformation

Therefore

We obtain

(a + 2)wwxx + 3auw2)x
the system of interacted equations. From that reasons the applications of the extended supersymmetry to integrable systems could be considered as the method of the extensions of new integrable systems.
Let us now consider the Lax representations for these three supersymmetric extensions.
