Scaling level-spacing distribution functions in the ``bulk of the spectrum'' in random matrix models of $N\times N$ hermitian matrices and then going to the limit $N\to\infty$, leads to the Fredholm determinant of the sine kernel…
We study the perturbed Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equation. This equation can be used for the description of nonlinear waves in a liquid with gas bubbles and for the description of nonlinear waves on a fluid layer flowing down an inclined…
We compare a relativistic and a nonrelativistic version of Ostrogradsky's method for higher-time derivative theories extended to scalar field theories and consider as an alternative a multi-field variant. We apply the schemes to space-time…
We develop modulation theory for undular bores (dispersive shock waves) in the framework of the Gardner, or extended Korteweg--de Vries, equation, which is a generic mathematical model for weakly nonlinear and weakly dispersive wave…

The Painlev\'e property for a (2+1)-dimensional Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) extension, the combined KP3 (Kadomtsev- Petviashvili) and KP4 (cKP3-4) is proved by using Kruskal's simplification. The truncated Painlev\'e expansion is used to find…
The Airy process A(t), introduced by Pr\"ahofer and Spohn, is the limiting stationary process for a polynuclear growth model. Adler and van Moerbeke found a PDE in the variables s_1, s_2, and t for the probability that A(0)<s_1 and…
It is well known that the Painlev\'e equations can formally degenerate to autonomous differential equations with elliptic function solutions in suitable scaling limits. A way to make this degeneration rigorous is to apply Deift-Zhou…
Our previous work on the one-dimensional KPZ equation with sharp wedge initial data is extended to the case of the joint height statistics at n spatial points for some common fixed time. Assuming a particular factorization, we compute an…

We solve the Gardner deformation problem for the N=2 supersymmetric a=4 Korteweg-de Vries equation (P. Mathieu, 1988). We show that a known zero-curvature representation for this superequation yields the system of new nonlocal variables…
The Cauchy problem for the modified KdV equation is shown to be locally well posed for data u_0 in the space \hat(H^r_s) defined by the norm ||u_0||:=||<\xi>^s \hat(u_0)||_L^r', provided 4/3 < r \le 2, s \ge 1/2 - 1/(2r). For r=2 this…
We propose a new formulation of the Korteweg-de Vries equation (KdV) on the real line, via a gauge transform. While KdV and the gauged equation are equivalent for smooth solutions, the latter is better behaved at low regularity in…
We discuss a new numerical schema for solving the initial value problem for the Korteweg-de Vries equation for large times. Our approach is based upon the Inverse Scattering Transform that reduces the problem to calculating the reflection…
We consider the Cauchy problem for the Korteweg--de Vries equation with real initial data $q$ that is both $L^1$ and $L^2$ summable and supported on (0,\infty). Using the left reflection coefficient and Hankel operators on the Hardy space…
