Description
We show that the evolution of Burgers turbulence is given by a completely integrable Hamiltonian system. This seems related in some as yet unexplained way to some surprising exact solutions to KPZ. The point here is that Burgers-KPZ admits not just computable exponents as originally expected, but a great deal more.
