We consider the linear vector Schr\"odinger equation subjected to quadratic constraints. We demonstrate that the resulting nonlinear system is closely related to the Ablowitz-Ladik hierarchy and use this fact to derive the N-soliton…
The soliton technique is applied to the 5D static Einstein-Maxwell equations, and an infinite number of solutions are explicitly obtained. We study the rod structure of 2-soliton solutions and we show that the 5D Reissner-Nordstrom solution…
We develop a "local theory" of multidimensional quasiperiodic $\SL(2,\R)$ cocycles which are not homotopic to a constant. It describes a $C^1$-open neighborhood of cocycles of rotations and applies irrespective of arithmetic conditions on…

In this survey we discuss spectral and quantum dynamical properties of discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators whose potentials are obtained by real-valued sampling along the orbits of an ergodic invertible transformation. After an…
In this paper we announce the result of asymptotic dynamics of solitons of nonlinear Schrodinger equations with external potentials. To each local minima of the potential there is a soliton centered around it. Under some conditions on the…
Solitons on a finite a background, also called breathers, are solutions of the focusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, which play a pivotal role in the description of rogue waves and modulation instability. The breather family includes…

Some key features of the symmetries of the Schr\"odinger equation that are common to a much broader class of dynamical systems (some under construction) are illustrated. I discuss the algebra/superalgebra duality involving first and…
We study soliton solutions of a modified non-linear Schroedinger (MNLS) equation. Using an Ansatz for the time and azimuthal angle dependence previously considered in the studies of the spinning Q-balls, we construct multi-node solutions of…
Soliton theory and the theory of Hankel (and Toeplitz) operators have stayed essentially hermetic to each other. This paper is concerned with linking together these two very active and extremely large theories. On the prototypical example…
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…
We consider the one-dimensional cubic fractional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation $$i\partial_tu-(-\Delta)^\sigma u+|u|^{2}u=0,$$ where $\sigma \in (\frac12,1)$ and the operator $(-\Delta)^\sigma$ is the fractional Laplacian of symbol…

This paper is a continuation of the paper by S.P.Novikov in Funct.Anal.Appl., v.24(1990), No 4, pp 196-206. String equation is by definition the equation $[L,A]=1$ for the coefficients of two linear ordinary differential operators $L$ and…
In recent work, several classes of solitonic solutions of string theory with higher-membrane structure have been obtained. These solutions can be classified according to the symmetry possessed by the solitons in the subspace of the…
We study Schrodinger operators with a one-frequency analytic potential, focusing on the transition between the two distinct local regimes characteristic respectively of large and small potentials. From the dynamical point of view, the…
