By means of the conformal invariance (Mobious transformation invarianc
e), the well known KdV equation is extended to (i) a (1+1)-dimensional
space-time symmetric form; (ii) two (2+1)-dimensional space isotropic
forms; and (iii) general (3+1)-dimensional and N-dimensional forms. T
he extensions are proven to be integrable under the meaning that they
possess the Painleve property. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
