Exact Solutions of an Alice-Bob KP Equation *

An Alice-Bob Kadomtsev-Petviashivili (ABKP) equation with shifted-parity ($hat{P}_s^x$ parity with a shift for the space variable $x$) and delayed time reversal ($hat{T}_d$, time reversal with a delay) symmetries is investigated. The multi-soliton solutions with three arbitrary even or odd functions are found from the $hat{P}_s^xhat{T}_d$ symmetry reductions of a coupled local KP system. The result shows that for the ABKP equation with $hat{P}_s^xhat{T}_d$ nonlocality, the odd numbers of solitons are prohibited. The solitons of the ABKP must be paired. For the ABKPII equation, there exists a critical value of wave numbers for the existence of paired solitons. For the ABKPI equation, there are two types of breather excitations. A lump solution of the ABKPI may possess four, five or six leaves.     

Reduced nonlocal integrable mKdV equations of type (−λ, λ) and their exact soliton solutions

We conduct two group reductions of the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur matrix spectral problems to present a class of novel reduced nonlocal reverse-spacetime integrable modified Korteweg–de Vries equations. One reduction is local, replacing the spectral parameter with its negative and the other is nonlocal, replacing the spectral parameter with itself. Then by taking advantage of distribution of eigenvalues, we generate soliton solutions from the reflectionless Riemann–Hilbert problems, where eigenvalues could equal adjoint eigenvalues.     

Solitons and soliton molecules in two nonlocal Alice–Bob Sawada–Kotera systems

Two nonlocal Alice–Bob Sawada–Kotera(ABSK) systems, accompanied by the parity and time reversal invariance are studied. The Lax pairs of two systems are uniformly written out in matrix form. The periodic waves, multiple solitons, and soliton molecules of the ABSK systems are obtained via the bilinear method and the velocity resonant mechanism. Though the interactions among solitons are elastic, the interactions between soliton and soliton molecules are not elastic.In particular, the shapes of the soliton molecules are changed explicitly after interactions.

Connection between the ideals generated by traces and by supertraces in the superalgebras of observables of Calogero models

If G is a finite Coxeter group, then symplectic reflection algebra H := H_1,η (G) has Lie algebra of inner derivations and can be decomposed under spin: H = H₀ ⊕ H_1/2 ⊕ H₁ ⊕ H_3/2 ⊕ …?We show that if the ideals of all the vectors from the kernel of degenerate bilinear forms B_i(x, y) := sp_i (x · y), where sp_i are (super)traces on H, do exist, then if and only if .     

Soliton solutions,travelling wave solutions and conserved quantities for a three-dimensional soliton equation in plasma physics

Many physical systems can be successfully modelled using equations that admit the soliton solutions. In addition, equations with soliton solutions have a significant mathematical structure. In this paper, we study and analyze a three-dimensional soliton equation, which has applications in plasma physics and other nonlinear sciences such as fluid mechanics, atomic physics, biophysics, nonlinear optics, classical and quantum fields theories. Indeed, solitons and solitary waves have been observed in numerous situations and often dominate long-time behaviour. We perform symmetry reductions of the equation via the use of Lie group theory and then obtain analytic solutions through this technique for the very first time. Direct integration of the resulting ordinary differential equation is done which gives new analytic travelling wave solutions that consist of rational function, elliptic functions, elementary trigonometric and hyperbolic functions solutions of the equation. Besides, various solitonic solutions are secured with the use of a polynomial complete discriminant system and elementary integral technique. These solutions comprise dark soliton, doubly-periodic soliton, trigonometric soliton, explosive/blowup and singular solitons. We further exhibit the dynamics of the solutions with pictorial representations and discuss them. In conclusion, we contemplate conserved quantities for the equation under study via the standard multiplier approach in conjunction with the homotopy integral formula. We state here categorically and emphatically that all results found in this study as far as we know have not been earlier obtained and so are new.     

New interaction solutions and nonlocal symmetry of an equation combining the modified Calogero–Bogoyavlenskii–Schiff equation with its negative-order form

The nonlocal symmetry is derived for an equation combining the modified Calogero–Bogoyavlenskii–Schiff equation with its negative-order form from the truncated Painlevéexpansion method. The nonlocal symmetries are localized to the Lie point symmetry by introducing new auxiliary dependent variables. The finite symmetry transformation and the Lie point symmetry for the prolonged system are solved directly. Many new interaction solutions among soliton and other types of interaction solutions for the modified Calogero–Bogoyavlenskii–Schiff equation with its negative-order form can be obtained from the consistent condition of the consistent tanh expansion method by selecting the proper arbitrary constants.     

Darboux transformation and soliton solutions of a nonlocal Hirota equation

Starting from local coupled Hirota equations,we provide a reverse space-time nonlocal Hirota equation by the symmetry reduction method known as the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur scattering problem.The Lax integrability of the nonlocal Hirota equation is also guaranteed by existence of the Lax pair.By Lax pair,an n-fold Darboux transformation is constructed for the nonlocal Hirota equation by which some types of exact solutions are found.The solutions with specific properties are distinct from those of the local Hirota equation.In order to further describe the properties and the dynamic features of the solutions explicitly,several kinds of graphs are depicted.

The E158 experiment

We have carried out a precision measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry A _PV in the scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons off electrons in a liquid-hydrogen target. The measurement was performed with the 50GeV beam line at SLAC. The final result with the full data set collected in three production runs is A _PV = - 131±14 (stat) ±10 (syst) parts per billion. The result leads to new limits on possible contact interactions at the TeV scale. We discuss future prospects for more precise measurements.

Future directions in parity violation

I discuss the prospects for future studies of parity-violating (PV) interactions at low energies and the insights they might provide about open questions in the standard model as well as physics that lies beyond it. I cover four types of parity-violating observables: PV electron scattering; PV hadronic interactions; PV correlations in weak decays and searches for the permanent electric dipole moments of quantum systems.     

Third and fourth order invariants for one-dimensional time-dependent classical systems

The construction of invariants up to fourth order in velocities has been carried out for one-dimensional, time-dependent classical dynamical systems. While the exact results are recovered for the first and second order integrable systems, the results for the third and fourth order invariants are expressed in terms of nonlinearpotential equations. Noticing the separability of the potential in space and time variables these nonlinear equations are reduced to a tractable form. A possible solution for the third order case suggests a new integrable systemV(q, t) ∼t ^−4/3 q ^1/2.
