Quaternionic vector mKDV equations are derived from the Cartan structure equation in the symmetric space = Sp(n+1)/Sp(1) × Sp(n). The derivation of the soliton hierarchy utilizes a moving parallel frame and a Cartan connection 1-form ω related to the Cartan geometry on modelled on . The integrability structure is shown to be geometrically encoded by a Poisson–Nijenhuis structure and a symplectic operator.
