We study a general class of line-soliton solutions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili II (KPII) equation by investigating the Wronskian form of its tau-function. We show that, in addition to previously known line-soliton solutions, this class…
Partly inspired by Sato's theory of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy, we start with a quite general hierarchy of linear ordinary differential equations in a space of matrices and derive from it a matrix Riccati hierarchy. The…
We study a natural map from representations of a free group of rank g in GL(n,C), to holomorphic vector bundles of degree 0 over a compact Riemann surface X of genus g, associated with a Schottky uniformization of X. Maximally unstable flat…
The Riemann surface for polylogarithms of half-integer index, which has the topology of an infinite dimensional hypercube, is studied in relation to one-dimensional KPZ universality in finite volume. Known exact results for fluctuations of…
We give a somewhat informal introduction to the integrable systems approach to the Schottky problem, explaining how the theta functions of Jacobians can be used to provide solutions of the KP equation, and culminating with the exposition of…
The problem of quantizing a class of two-dimensional integrable quantum field theories is considered. The classical equations of the theory are the complex $sl(n)$ affine Toda equations which admit soliton solutions with real masses. The…
There are well-known constructions of integrable systems which are chains of infinitely many copies of the equations of the KP hierarchy ``glued'' together with some additional variables, e.g., the modified KP hierarchy. Another…
We prove that spatial Kerr solitons, usually obtained in the frame of nonlinear Schroedinger equation valid in the paraxial approximation, can be found in a generalized form as exact solutions of Maxwell's equations. In particular, they are…
The topological type of a non-compact Riemann surface is determined by its ends space and the ends having infinite genus. In this paper for a non-compact Riemann Surface $S_{m,s}$ with $s$ ends and exactly $m$ of them with infinite genus,…
A virtual Schottky group is a Kleinian group $K$ containing a Schottky group $G$ as a finite index normal subgroup. These groups correspond to those groups of automorphisms of closed Riemann surfaces which can be realized at the level of…
In this work, we study solitary waves in a (2+1)-dimensional variant of the defocusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equation, the so-called Camassa-Holm NLS (CH-NLS) equation. We use asymptotic multiscale expansion methods to reduce this…
From a 'discrete' functional zero curvature equation, functional representations of (matrix) Burgers and potential KP (pKP) hierarchies (and others), as well as corresponding Backlund transformations, can be obtained in a surprisingly…
We construct families of TQFT's over the finite field Z/pZ starting from an integral TQFT obtained by Frohman and Nicas. These TQFT's are likely to describe the constant order contributions of the cyclotomic integer expansions of the…
Symmetric Grothendieck polynomials are inhomogeneous versions of Schur polynomials that arise in combinatorial $K$-theory. A polynomial has saturated Newton polytope (SNP) if every lattice point in the polytope is an exponent vector. We…
We construct a Grassmannian-like formulation for the potential KP-hierarchy including additional ``negative'' flows. Our approach will generalize the notion of a tau-function to include negative flows. We compare the resulting hierarchy…
We show that the higher Grothendieck-Witt groups, a.k.a. algebraic hermitian K-groups, are represented by an infinite orthogonal Grassmannian in the A1-homotopy category of smooth schemes over a regular base for which 2 is a unit in the…
We present a systematic way to construct solutions of the (n=5)-reduction of the BKP and CKP hierarchies from the general tau function of the KP hierarchy. We obtain the one-soliton, two-soliton, and periodic solution for the bi-directional…
We consider the initial value problems of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation for symmetric V-shape initial waves consisting of two semi-infinite line solitons with the same amplitude. Numerical simulations show that the solutions of…
We study some geometric and combinatorial aspects of the solution to the full Kostant-Toda (f-KT) hierarchy, when the initial data is given by an arbitrary point on the totally non-negative (tnn) flag variety of SL_n(R). The f-KT flows on…
We consider non-elementary Kleinian groups \Gamma, without invariant plane, generated by an elliptic and a hyperbolic element with their axes lying in one plane. We find presentations and a complete list of orbifolds uniformized by such…
