Passing from a microscopic discrete lattice system with many degrees of freedom to a mesoscopic continuum system described by a few coarse-grained equations is challenging. The common folklore is to take the thermodynamic limit so that the…

This paper proposes a method for identifying and classifying integrable nonlinear equations with three independent variables, one of which is discrete and the other two are continuous. A characteristic property of this class of equations,…

This paper is mainly a review of the multi--Hamiltonian nature of Toda and generalized Toda lattices corresponding to the classical simple Lie groups but it includes also some new results. The areas investigated include master symmetries,…

Applying recent ideas of Carlet, Dubrovin and Zhang (to appear), who, following a suggestion of Eguchi and Yang (hep-th/9407134), study the logarithm of the Lax operator of the Toda lattice, we show that the equivariant Toda lattice…

We apply the complex analysis over the double numbers $D$ to study the minimal time-like surfaces in $R^4_2$. A minimal time-like surface which is free of degenerate points is said to be of general type. We divide the minimal time-like…

In this paper, the classification in [Lin,Wei,Ye] of solutions to Toda systems of type $A$ with singular sources is generalized to Toda systems of types $C$ and $B$. Like in the $A$ case, the solution space is shown to be parametrized by…

It is known that there is a duality between the Davey--Stewartson type coupled systems and a class of integrable two--dimensional Toda type lattices. More precisely, the coupled systems are generalized symmetries for the lattices and the…

The Toda lattice hierarchy is discussed in connection with the topological description of the $c=1$ string theory compactified at the self-dual radius. It is shown that when special constraints are imposed on the Toda hierarchy, it…

We generalize the Lax pair and B\"acklund transformations for Liouville and Toda field theories as well as their supersymmetric generalizations, to the case of arbitrary Riemann surfaces. We make use of the fact that Toda field theory…

Some new developments in constrained Lax integrable systems and their applications to physics are reviewed. After summarizing the tau function construction of the KP hierarchy and the basic concepts of the symmetry of nonlinear equations,…

A relation between semi-direct sums of Lie algebras and integrable couplings of lattice equations is established, and a practicable way to construct integrable couplings is further proposed. An application of the resulting general theory to…

In this note, we consider blow-up for solutions of the SU(3) Toda system on a compact surface \Sigma. In particular, we give a complete proof of the compactness result stated by Jost, Lin and Wang and we extend it to the case of…

In earlier work we introduced topologically minimal surfaces as the analogue of geometrically minimal surfaces. Here we strengthen the analogy by showing that complicated amalgamations act as barriers to low genus, topologically minimal…

We give a survey of the long-time asymptotics for the Toda lattice with steplike constant initial data using the nonlinear steepest descent analysis and its extension based on a suitably chosen $g$-function. Analytic formulas for the…

This paper concerns the topology of isospectral real manifolds of certain Jacobi elements associated with real split semisimple Lie algebras. The manifolds are related to the compactified level sets of the generalized (nonperiodic) Toda…

High rank solutions to the 2D Toda Lattice System are constructed simultaneously with the effective calculation of coefficients of the high rank commuting ordinary difference operators. Our technic is based on the study of discrete dynamics…

This paper has two purposes. The first is to classify all those versions of the Toda equations which govern the existence of $\tau$-primitive harmonic maps from a surface into a homogeneous space $G/T$ for which $G$ is a noncomplex…

Minimal surfaces in the Riemannian product of surfaces of constant curvature have been considered recently, particularly as these products arise as spaces of oriented geodesics of 3-dimensional space-forms. This papers considers more…

The non-Abelian two-dimensional Toda lattice and matrix sine-Gordon equations with self-consistent sources are established and solved. Two families of quasideterminant solutions are presented for the non-Abelian two-dimensional Toda lattice…
