Abstract

We study the dynamics of bright solitons in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) confined in a highly asymmetric trap. While working within the f ramework of a variational approach we carry out the stability analysis o f BEC solitons against collapse. When the number of atoms in the soliton exceeds a critical number $N_c$, it undergoes the so called primary col lapse. We find an analytical expression for $N_c$ in terms of appropriat e experimental quantities that are used to produce and confine the conde nsate. We further demonstrate that, in the geometry of the problem consi dered, the width of the soliton varies inversely as the number of consti tuent atoms.

Superintegrability of discrete-time rational Ruijsenaars-Schneider model and deformed polynomial symmetry algebras

We explicitly construct the additional integrals of motion, ensuring maximal superintegrability of the discrete-time rational Ruijsenaars-Schneider model. Using them, we investigate the algebraic aspects of superintegrability in both continuous- and discrete-time settings. In particular, we determine the complete structures of the polynomial symmetry algebras associated with both the rational Ruijsenaars-Schneider model and its discretization. We demonstrate that discretization leads to a nontrivial deformation of the continuous symmetry algebra with respect to the discretization parameter, thereby extending recent analogous results from the rational Calogero-Moser system to its relativistic generalization.

Large-space and Large-time Asymptotics for the Focusing Nonlinear Schrödinger Soliton Gas

We investigate the large-space and large-time asymptotic behavior of a soliton gas for the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The soliton gas is constructed as the continuum limit of pure $N$-soliton solutions as $N\to\infty$, with the discrete spectrum confined to two segments $Σ_1$ and $Σ_2$. In particular, our framework does not require the discrete spectrum to be confined to the imaginary axis. By combining the nonlinear steepest descent method with an appropriate $g$-function mechanism, we show that, as $x\to-\infty$, the soliton gas is asymptotically described by a finite-gap elliptic solution with constant coefficients. In the large-time regime $t\to+\infty$, we assume that the endpoint $F$ lies on the trajectory of $H(ξ)$ with $ξ=\frac{x}{2t}\in(-E_1-\sqrt{2}E_2,-E_1)$, namely, $F=H(\hatξ)$, $\hatξ\in (-E_1-\sqrt{2}E_2,-E_1)$. Under this assumption, we prove that the solution exhibits distinct asymptotic behaviors in different regions of the variable $ξ=\frac{x}{2t}$. More precisely, there exist an exponentially decaying region $ξ\in(-E_1,+\infty)$, a modulated elliptic-wave region $ξ\in(\hatξ,-E_1)$, and an unmodulated elliptic-wave region $ξ\in(-\infty,\hatξ)$.

On singular solitons of the KP equation and the Go-diagrams

It has been proven that real and regular soliton solutions of the KP equation are classified in terms of the totally nonnegative Grassmannian. It is well known that vertex operators can be used to construct soliton solutions. In this paper, we consider several regular soliton solutions and study their combinations through products of vertex operators. In general, the resulting solutions become singular. Totally nonnegative elements are parametrized by the Le-diagrams introduced by Postnikov. We show that the resulting singular solutions can be parametrized by Go-diagrams, which extend Le-diagrams and arise in the Deodhar decomposition of the Grassmannian.
