E. Cartan proved that conformally flat hypersurfaces in S^{n+1} for n>3 have at most two distinct principal curvatures and locally envelop a one-parameter family of (n-1)-spheres. We prove that the Gauss-Codazzi equation for conformally…

There is a hierarchy of commuting soliton equations associated to each symmetric space U/K. When U/K has rank n, the first n flows in the hierarchy give rise to a natural first order non-linear system of partial diffferential equations in n…

We give a survey of the following six closely related topics: (i) a general method for constructing a soliton hierarchy from a splitting of a loop algebra into positive and negative subalgebras, together with a sequence of commuting…

Using Lie group theory and canonical transformations we construct explicit solutions of nonlinear Schrodinger equations with spatially inhomogeneous nonlinearities. We present the general theory, use it to show that localized nonlinearities…

We give a review of the systematic construction of hierarchies of soliton flows and integrable elliptic equations associated to a complex semi-simple Lie algebra and finite order automorphisms. For example, the non-linear Schr\"odinger…

The current work investigates the soliton solutions of the Kaup-Boussinesq equation using the Inverse Scattering Transform method. We outline the construction of the Riemann-Hilbert problem for a pair energy-dependent spectral problems for…

We introduce two families of soliton hierarchies: the twisted hierarchies associated to symmetric spaces. The Lax pairs of these two hierarchies are Laurent polynomials in the spectral variable. Our constructions gives a hierarchy of…

We explain how to apply techniques from integrable systems to construct $2k$-soliton homoclinic wave maps from the periodic Minkowski space $S^1\times R^1$ to a compact Lie group, and more generally to a compact symmetric space. We give a…

It is shown how Darboux coordinates on a reduced symplectic vector space may be used to parametrize the phase space on which the finite gap solutions of matrix nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations are realized as isospectral Hamiltonian flows.…

We harness the freedom in the celebrated gauge transformation approach to generate dark solitons of coupled nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) type equations. The new approach which is purely algebraic could prove to be very useful, particularly…

We study modular and integral flow polynomials of graphs by means of subgroup arrangements and lattice polytopes. We introduce an Eulerian equivalence relation on orientations, flow arrangements, and flow polytopes; and we apply the theory…

The geometric non-linear Schrodinger equation (GNLS) on the complex Grassmannian manifold M is the Hamiltonian equation for the energy functional on C(R,M) with respect to the symplectic form induced from the Kahler form on M. It has a Lax…

Recent results on the Grassmannian perspective of soliton equations with an elliptic spectral parameter are presented along with a detailed review of the classical case with a rational spectral parameter. The nonlinear Schr\"odinger…

This paper is an expository account of the development of soliton mathematics, from its inception in famous numerical experiments of Fermi-Pasta-Ulam and Zabusky-Kruskal to the recent synthesis of Terng-Uhlenbeck (dg-ga/9707004) that…

Using Lie group theory we construct explicit solitary wave solutions of coupled nonlinear Schrodinger systems with spatially inhomogeneous nonlinearities. We present the general theory, use it to construct different families of explicit…

Let U be a real form of a complex semisimple Lie group, and tau, sigma, a pair of commuting involutions on U. This data corresponds to a reflective submanifold of a symmetric space, U/K. We define an associated integrable system, and…

Binary symmetry constraints are applied to constructing B\"acklund transformations of soliton systems, both continuous and discrete. Construction of solutions to soliton systems is split into finding solutions to lower-dimensional Liouville…

We give a completely explicit formula for all harmonic maps of finite uniton number from a Riemann surface to the unitary group U(n) in any dimension, and so all harmonic maps from the 2-sphere, in terms of freely chosen meromorphic…

In this paper, we introduce a new notion named as Schr\"odinger soliton. So-called Schr\"odinger solitons are defined as a class of special solutions to the Schr\"odinger flow equation from a Riemannian manifold or a Lorentzian manifold $M$…

We study surfaces of constant positive Gauss curvature in Euclidean 3-space via the harmonicity of the Gauss map. Using the loop group representation, we solve the regular and the singular geometric Cauchy problems for these surfaces, and…
