Nonlocal symmetry and explicit solution of the integrable Alice-Bob modified Korteweg-de Vries (ABmKdV) equation is discussed, which has been established by the aid of the shifted parity and delayed time reversal to describe two-place events. Based on the Lax pair which contains the two-order partial derivative, the Lie symmetry group method is successfully applied to find the exact invariant solution for the AB-mKdV equation with nonlocal symmetry by introducing one suitable auxiliary variable. Meanwhile, based on the prolonged system, the explicit analytic interaction solutions related to some specific functions are derived. Figures show the physical phenomenon, that is, "the shifted parity and delayed time reversal to describe two-place events".

Nonlocal Symmetry and Interaction Solutions of a Generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili Equation

A generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation is studied by nonlocal symmetry method and consistent Riccati expansion (CRE) method in this paper. Applying the truncated Painlevé analysis to the generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation, some Bäcklund transformations (BTs) including auto-BT and non-auto-BT are obtained. The auto-BT leads to a nonlocal symmetry which corresponds to the residual of the truncated Painlevé expansion. Then the nonlocal symmetry is localized to the corresponding nonlocal group by introducing two new variables. Further, by applying the Lie point symmetry method to the prolonged system, a new type of finite symmetry transformation is derived. In addition, the generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation is proved consistent Riccati expansion (CRE) solvable. As a result, the soliton-cnoidal wave interaction solutions of the equation are explicitly given, which are difficult to be found by other traditional methods. Moreover, figures are given out to show the properties of the explicit analytic interaction solutions.

Fermion Self-Energy and Chiral Symmetry Breaking from Four-Fermion and Gauge Interactions

The exact analytic solutions of the linearized Schwinger-Dyson equation of fermion self-energy are used to obtain the effective four-fermion and gauge coupling criticality curves for dynamical chiral symmetry breaking. The results show that when the zero-momentum gauge coupling a(0) < a₀(0), the critical gauge coupling in the pure gauge interaction case, the minimal critical four-fermion coupling β_min is always nonzero and positive and will go up as the a(0) decreases. The use of the exact solutions also allows us to make quite definite estimations of the momentum scales where chiral symmetry breaking would happen if the values of an infrared parameter ξ are given separately.

Lastly, from a known simple solution of the cKP equation, we can easily obtain two new solutions by the general symmetry groups.

In this paper, nonlocal symmetry of the (2+1) dimensional modified generalized long dispersive wave system and its applications are investigated. The nonlocal symmetry related to the eigenfunctions in Lax pairs is derived, and infinitely many nonlocal symmetries are obtained. By introducing three potentials, the prolongation is found to localize the given nonlocal symmetry. Various finite-and infinite-dimensional integrable models are constructed by using the nonlocal symmetry constraint method. Moreover, applying the general Lie symmetry approach to the enlarged system, the finite symmetry transformation and similarity reductions are computed to give novel exact interaction solutions. In particular, the explicit soliton-cnoidal wave solution is obtained for the modified generalized long dispersive wave system, and it can be reduced to the two-dark-soliton solution in one special case.
