A class of "elliptic soliton" solutions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy, which includes a determinantal solution of Li and Zhang, is described in terms of pseudo-differential operator formulation. In our approach, the Li-Zhang…

Solitonic objects play a central role in gauge and string theory (as, e.g., monopoles, black holes, D-branes, etc.). Certain string backgrounds produce a noncommutative deformation of the low-energy effective field theory, which allows for…
Let $p$ be a multilinear polynomial in several non-commuting variables with coefficients in an arbitrary field $K$. Kaplansky conjectured that for any $n$, the image of $p$ evaluated on the set $M_n(K)$ of $n$ by $n$ matrices is either…
We revisit the phenomenon of instability of solitons in the two dimensional generalization of the Korteweg-de Vries equation, the generalized Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) equation, $u_t + \partial_{x_1} (\Delta u + u^p) = 0, (x_1,x_2) \in…

Using the Wronskian representation of $\tau$-function, one can investigate the resonant structure of kink-soliton and line-soliton of the modified KP equation. It is found that the resonant structure of the the soliton graph is obtained by…
We find the N-soliton solution at infinite theta, as well as the metric on the moduli space corresponding to spatial displacements of the solitons. We use a perturbative expansion to incorporate the leading 1/theta corrections, and find an…
Following Natanzon-Zabrodin, we explore the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili hierarchy as an infinite system of mutually consistent relations on the second derivatives of the free energy with some universal coefficients. From this point of view,…
Higher order and multicomponent generalizations of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation are important in various applications, e.g., in optics. One of these equations, the integrable Sasa-Satsuma equation, has particularly interesting soliton…
In this paper, we are concerned with various soliton solutions to the coupled Hirota equation, as well as to the Sasa-Satsuma equation which can be viewed as one reduction case of the coupled Hirota equation. First, we derive bright-bright,…
We analytically study the long time and large space asymptotics of a new broad class of solutions of the KdV equation introduced by Dyachenko, Zakharov, and Zakharov. These solutions are characterized by a Riemann--Hilbert problem which we…
It is revealed that there exist duality families of the KdV type equation. A duality family consists of an infinite number of generalized KdV (GKdV) equations. A duality transformation relates the GKdV equations in a duality family. Once a…

We describe the interaction pattern in the $x$-$y$ plane for a family of soliton solutions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation, $(-4u_{t}+u_{xxx}+6uu_x)_{x}+3u_{yy}=0$. Those solutions also satisfy the finite Toda lattice hierarchy.…
