In Part I (arXiv:1209.2045) we computed the Stokes data, though not the "connection matrix", for the smooth solutions of the tt*-Toda equations whose existence we established by p.d.e. methods. Here we give an alternative proof of the…
An important special class of the tt* equations are the tt*-Toda equations. Guest et al. have given comprehensive studies on the tt*-Toda equations in a series of papers. The fine asymptotics for a large class of solutions of a special…
In work of C. A. Tracy and the author asymptotic formulas were derived for certain operator determinants which gave solutions to the cylindrical Toda equations. Later the author considered a more general class of operators which retained…
In previous articles we have studied the A_n tt*-Toda equations (topological-antitopological fusion equations of Toda type) of Cecotti and Vafa, giving details mainly for n=3. Here we give a proof of the existence and uniqueness of global…

This paper, the third in a series, completes our description of all (radial) solutions on C* of the tt*-Toda equations, using a combination of methods from p.d.e., isomonodromic deformations (Riemann-Hilbert method), and loop groups. We…
This is a continuation of [arXiv:2309.16550] in which we computed the asymptotics near $x = \infty$ of all solutions of the radial Toda equation. In this article, we compute the asymptotics near $x = \infty$ of all solutions of a "partner"…
The small t asymptotics of a class of solutions to the 2D cylindrical Toda equations is computed. The solutions, q_k(t), have the representation q_k(t) = log det(I-lambda K_k) - log det(I-lambda K_{k-1}) where K_k are integral operators.…
We give a Lie-theoretic explanation for the convex polytope which parametrizes the globally smooth solutions of the topological-antitopological fusion equations of Toda type (tt$^*$-Toda equations) which were introduced by Cecotti and Vafa.…
Quantum sinh-Gordon model in 1+1 dimensions is one of the simplest and best-studied massive integrable relativistic quantum field theories. We consider this theory on a multi-sheeted Riemann surfaces with a flat metric, which can be seen as…
We describe all smooth solutions of the two-function tt*-Toda equations (a version of the tt* equations, or equations for harmonic maps into SL(n,R)/SO(n)) in terms of (i) asymptotic data, (ii) holomorphic data, and (iii) monodromy data.…
Motivated by the simplest case of tt*-Toda equations, we study the large and small $x$ asymptotics for $x>0$ of real solutions of the sinh-Godron Painlev\'e III($D_6$) equation. These solutions are parametrized through the monodromy data of…
We provide a simple derivation of the constant factor in the short-distance asymptotics of the tau-function associated with the $2$-point function of the two-dimensional Ising model. This factor was first computed by C. Tracy in \cite{T}…
This paper is the first in a forthcoming series of works where the authors study the global asymptotic behavior of the radial solutions of the 2D periodic Toda equation of type $A_n$. The principal issue is the connection formulae between…
Noticing that the space of the solutions of a first order Hamiltonian field theory has a pre-symplectic structure, we describe a class of conserved charges on it associated to the momentum map determined by any symmetry group of…
We conduct a comprehensive analysis of the large-space and long-time asymptotics of kink-soliton gases in the sine-Gordon (sG) equation, addressing an important open problem highlighted in the recent work [Phys. Rev. E 109 (2024) 061001].…

We propose a Lie-theoretic definition of the tt*-Toda equations for any complex simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, based on the concept of topological-antitopological fusion which was introduced by Cecotti and Vafa. Our main result concerns…
We consider the sine-Gordon equation in laboratory coordinates in the quarter plane. The first part of the paper considers the construction of solutions via Riemann-Hilbert techniques. In addition to constructing solutions starting from…
