The periodic two-dimensional $\mu$-$b$-equation as an EPDiff equation
  We introduce a periodic two-dimensional $\mu$-$b$-equation and a periodic two-dimensional two-component $(\mu)$-Camassa-Holm equation which we study as geodesic flows on the diffeomorphism group of the torus and a semidirect product respectively. The paper explains the derivation of these equations within V.I. Arnold's (1966) general framework, some analogies to recently discussed related equations and gives a self-contained presentation of the geometric aspects. As an application, we obtain well-posedness results and some explicit curvature computations.
