144Symmetries of partial differential equationsJoël Merker (with Hervé Gaussier)Abstract. We establish a link between the study of completely integrable systemsof partial differential equations and the study of generic submanifolds in C n . Usingthe recent <strong>de</strong>velopments of Cauchy-Riemann geometry we provi<strong>de</strong> the set ofsymmetries of such a system with a <strong>Lie</strong> group structure. Finally we <strong>de</strong>termine theprecise upper bound of the dimension of this <strong>Lie</strong> group for some specific systemsof partial differential equations.Table of contents1.

INTRODUCTIONTo study the geometry of a real analytic Levi non<strong>de</strong>generate hyper<strong>sur</strong>faceM in C 2 , one of the principal i<strong>de</strong>as of H. Poincaré, of B. Segre andof É. Cartan in the fundamental memoirs [20], [Se1931], [Se1932], [3] wasto associate to M a system (E M ) of (partial) differential equations, in or<strong>de</strong>rto solve the so-called equivalence problem. Establishing a natural correspon<strong>de</strong>ncebetween the local holomorphic automorphisms of M and the <strong>Lie</strong>symmetries of (E M ) they could use the classification results on differentialequations achieved by S. <strong>Lie</strong> in [5] and pursued by A. Tresse in [Tr1896].Starting with such a correspon<strong>de</strong>nce, we shall establish a general link betweenthe study of a real analytic generic submanifold of codimension min C n+m and the study of completely integrable systems of analytic partialdifferential equations. We shall observe that the recent theories in Cauchy-Riemann (CR) geometry may be transposed to the setting of partial differentialequations, providing some new information on their <strong>Lie</strong> symmetries.In<strong>de</strong>ed consi<strong>de</strong>r for K = R or C a K-analytic system (E ) of the followinggeneral form:()(E ) u j x α(x) = F αj x, u(x), (u j(q) (x))x β(q) 1≤q≤p .
