The Camassa-Holm equation as a geodesic flow on the diffeomorphism group. (English) Zbl 0958.37060

The paper deals with a physically meaningful generalization of the Camassa-Holm (CH) equation to higher dimension. In particular it is shown that the (CH) equation is the geodesic flow of the weak Riemannian metric on the diffeomorphism group of the line or the circle obtained by right translating in \(H^1\).
