Hamiltonian Flows of Curves in G/SO(N) and Vector Soliton Equations of mKdV and Sine-Gordon Type

The bi-Hamiltonian structure of the two known vector generalizations of the mKdV hierarchy of soliton equations is derived in a geometrical fashion from flows of non-stretching curves in Riemannian symmetric spaces G/SO(N). These spaces are exhausted by the Lie groups G = SO(N+1),SU(N). The derivati...
