Gelfand-Dickey Realizations of the supersymmetric classical W-algebras for $\mathfrak{gl}(n+1|n)$ and $\mathfrak{gl}(n|n)$

Abstract: In this paper we realize the supersymmetric classical $W$-algebras $\mathcal{W}(\overline{\mathfrak{gl}}(n+1|n))$ and $\mathcal{W}(\overline{\mathfrak{gl}}(n|n))$ as differential algebras generated by the coefficients of a monic superdifferential operator $L$. In the case of $\mathcal{W}(\overline{\mathfrak{gl}}(n|n))$ (resp. $\mathcal{W}(\overline{\mathfrak{gl}}(n+1|n))$) this operator is even (resp. odd). We show that the supersymmetric Poisson vertex algebra bracket on these supersymmetric W-algebras is the supersymmetric analogue of the quadratic Gelfand-Dickey bracket associated to the operator $L$. Finally, we construct integrable hierarchies of evolutionary Hamiltonian PDEs on both W-algebras. A key observation is that to construct these hierarchies on the algebra $\mathcal{W}(\overline{\mathfrak{gl}}(n+1|n))$ one needs to introduce a new concept of even supersymmetric Poisson vertex algebras.
