Abstract

A new, completely integrable, two dimensional evolution equation is derived for an ion acoustic wave propagating in a magnetized, collisionless plasma. The equation is a multidimensional generalization of a modulated wavepacket with weak transverse propagation, which has resemblance to nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation and has a connection to Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation through a constraint relation. Higher soliton solutions of the equation are derived through Hirota bili- nearization procedure, and an exact lump solution is calculated exhibiting 2D structure. Some mathe- matical properties demonstrating the completely integrable nature of this equation are described. Modulational instability using nonlinear frequency correction is derived, and the corresponding growth rate is calculated, which shows the directional asymmetry of the system. The discovery of this novel (2þ1) dimensional integrable NLS type equation for a magnetized plasma should pave a new direction of research in the field.

On the geometry of WDVV equations and their Hamiltonian formalism in arbitrary dimension

It is known that in low dimensions WDVV equations can be rewritten as commuting quasilinear bi-Hamiltonian systems. We extend some of these results to arbitrary dimension $N$ and arbitrary scalar product $η$. In particular, we show that suitable subsets of WDVV equations can be interpreted as a set of linear line congruences in suitable Plücker embeddings. This form leads to their representation as $N-2$ Hamiltonian systems of conservation laws. Moreover, we show that WDVV equations can be reduced to an orthonomic form, which is also passive in low dimensions $N\leq 5$. This also leads to the commutativity of the Hamiltonian systems of conservation laws ($N\leq 5$), after which we can find a solution of the WDVV equations from a joint solution of the Hamiltonian systems. Finally, we conjecture that passivity holds in all dimensions.

Multivariable Painleve'-II equation: connection formulas for arbitrary system size

Connection formulas for the asymptotic solutions of a system of n> 1 coupled Painleve'-II equations with symmetry-breaking parameters are written explicitly. An asymptotically exact WKB approach to these formulas relies on the quantum-mechanical independent crossing approximation for an explicitly time-dependent Schroedinger equation.

A Classification of Hirota-Integrable Supersymmetric Bilinear KdV-Type Equations

We present a classification of supersymmetric bilinear KdV-type equations admitting unconstrained three-super-soliton solutions. Extending Hirota's classical three-soliton criterion to the supersymmetric setting, we derive the complete bosonic and fermionic compatibility conditions governing the existence of three-super-soliton solutions. We prove that every supersymmetric bilinear KdV-type equation possesses unconstrained one- and two-super-soliton solutions, whereas three-super-soliton solutions exist only when eight integrability conditions are satisfied. These conditions provide a supersymmetric analogue of Hirota's classical integrability criterion and naturally recover the fermionic relations previously introduced by Carstea, revealing their structural origin. As a consequence, we classify the supersymmetric extensions of Hirota bilinear KdV-type equations and show that only a subset of Hietarinta's classical classification remains valid in the unrestricted supersymmetric framework.
