The sine-Gordon equation is considered in the hamiltonian framework provided by the Adler-Kostant-Symes theorem. The phase space, a finite dimensional coadjoint orbit in the dual space $\grg^*$ of a loop algebra $\grg$, is parametrized by a…

Building upon the recent works of Bertola; Fasondini, Olver and Xu, we define a class of orthogonal polynomials on elliptic curves and establish a corresponding Riemann-Hilbert framework. We then focus on the special case, defined by a…

We show that the dual partition function of the pure $\mathcal N=2$ $SU(2)$ gauge theory in the self-dual $\Omega$-background (a) is given by Fredholm determinant of a generalized Bessel kernel and (b) coincides with the tau function…

We prove that the tau-function of the integrable discrete sine-Gordon model apart from the "standard" bilinar identities obeys a number of "non-standard" ones. They can be combined into a bivector 3-dimensional difference equation which is…

We solve exactly the "boundary sine-Gordon" system of a massless scalar field \phi with a \cos[\beta\phi/2] potential at a boundary. This model has appeared in several contexts, including tunneling between quantum-Hall edge states and in…

We propose a system of sine-Gordon equations, with the $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry represented by balanced gain and loss in them. The equations are coupled by sine-field terms and first-order derivatives. The sinusoidal coupling stems from…

We study the space of periodic solutions of the elliptic $\sinh$-Gordon equation by means of spectral data consisting of a Riemann surface $Y$ and a divisor $D$. We show that the space $M_g^{\mathbf{p}}$ of real periodic finite type…

A Hankel operator $\Gamma$ in $L^2(\mathbb{R}_+)$ is an integral operator with the integral kernel of the form $h(t+s)$, where $h$ is known as the kernel function. It is known that $\Gamma$ is positive semi-definite if and only if $h$ is…

We present an alternative proof of the result by P. Gerard and S. Grellier, stating that given two real sequences $(\lambda_n)_{n=1}^\infty$, $(\mu_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ satisfying the intertwining relations \[ |\lambda_1| > |\mu_1| >…

This article considers Whittaker's function $W_{\kappa ,\mu }$ where $\kappa$ is real and $\mu$ is real or purely imaginary. Then $\varphi (x)=x^{-\mu -1/2}W_{\kappa ,\mu }(x)$ arises as the scattering function of a continuous time linear…

We study the Hankel determinant generated by a Gaussian weight with Fisher-Hartwig singularities of root type at $t_j$, $j=1,\cdots ,N$. It characterizes a type of average characteristic polynomial of matrices from Gaussian unitary…

We study the Hankel determinant and orthogonal polynomials with respect to the two-parameter weight function $$ w(x)=w(x;t_1, t_2):=\exp(-x^6-t_2 x^4-t_1 x^2),\qquad x\in\mathbb{R}, $$ with $t_1,\; t_2 \in \mathbb{R}$. This problem arises…

We establish a deep connection between the Prandtl equations linearised around a quadratic shear flow, confluent hypergeometric functions of the first kind, and the Schr\"odinger operator. Our first result concerns an ODE and a spectral…

We consider the Hankel determinant and orthogonal polynomials with respect to the deformed Laguerre weight $w(x; t) = {x^\alpha }{\mathrm e^{ - x}}{(x + t)^\lambda },\; x\in \mathbb{R}^{+} $ with parameters $\alpha > -1,\; t > 0$ and…

This survey paper reports on the properties of the fourth-order Bessel-type linear ordinary differential equation, on the generated self-adjoint differential operators in two associated Hilbert function spaces, and on the generalisation of…

Suppose that $\Gamma$ is a continuous and self-adjoint Hankel operator on $L^2(0, \infty)$ and that $Lf=-(d/dx(a(x)df/dx))+b(x)f(x)$ with $a(0)=0$. If $a$ and $b$ are both quadratic, hyperbolic or trigonometric functions, and $\phi$…

The goal of this paper is to give a representation-theoretic interpretation of the sine-Gordon equation. We consider a vertex operator representation of affine Kac-Moody algebra \hat{sl_2} on the space of differential operators. In this…
