The modified Novikov-Veslov Equation and the Inverse Scattering Transform

This paper corrects several errors in the author's previous papers (Journal of Spectral Theory 2016, Analysis and PDE 2014) on the Davey-Stewartson II (DS II) and modified Novikov-Veselov (mNV) equations. In each of these papers a proof was given that the solution by inverse scattering yields a classical solution to the PDE. The mNV equation lies in the integrable hierarchy of the DS II equation, so the same scattering transform may be used in both cases. In the 2014 paper, an incorrect formula is given for the nonlinearity in the mNV equation. Here we correct errors in the proof and obtain a correct statement of the mNV equation as solved by inverse scattering.

Inverse scattering and global well-posedness in one and two space dimensions

These notes are a considerably revised and expanded version of expository lectures given at the Fields Institute Workshop on "Nonlinear Dispersive Partial Differential Equations and Inverse Scattering" in August 2017. We give a complete and self-contained treatment of inverse scattering for the defocussing cubic NLS in one-dimension, following the 2003 paper of Deift and Zhou, and the defocussing Davey-Stewartson equation in two space dimensions, following the work of Perry and more recent work of Nachman, Regev, and Tataru.

Global solutions for the zero-energy Novikov-Veselov equation by inverse scattering

Using the inverse scattering method, we construct global solutions to the Novikov-Veselov equation for real-valued decaying initial data q with the property that the associated Schrodinger operator with potential q is nonnegative. Such initial data are either critical (an arbitrarily small perturbation of the potential makes the operator nonpositive) or subcritical (sufficiently small perturbations of the potential preserve non-negativity of the operator). Previously, Lassas, Mueller, Siltanen and Stahel proved global existence for critical potentials, also called potentials of "conductivity type." We extend their results to include the much larger class of subcritical potentials. We show that the subcritical potentials form an open set and that the critical potentials form the nowhere dense boundary of this open set. Our analysis draws on previous work of the first author and on ideas of P. G. Grinevich and S. V. Manakov.

Soliton Solutions and their (In)stability for the Focusing Davey-Stewartson II Equation

We give a rigorous mathematical analysis of the one-soliton solution of the focusing Davey-Stewartson II equation and a proof of its instability under perturbation. Building on the fundamental perturbation analysis of Gadyl'shin and Kiselev, we verify their Assumption 1 and use Fredholm determinants to globalize their perturbation analysis.

Global Well-Posedness and Long-time Asymptotics for the Defocussing Davey-Stewartson II Equation in $H^{1,1}(R^2)$

We show that the inverse scattering map for the linear system associated with the defocussing Davey-Stewartson II equation is locally Lipschitz continuous with locally Lipschitz continuous inverse on $H^{1,1}(R^2)$. From the inverse scattering method we then obtain global well-posedness for the defocussing Davey-Stewartson II equation. We show that these global solutions are dispersive by computing their leading asymptotic behavior as $t \rightarrow \infty$ in terms of an associated linear problem.

Miura Maps and Inverse Scattering for the Novikov-Veselov Equation

We use the inverse scattering method to construct classical solutions for the Novikov-Veselov (NV) equation, solving a problem posed by Lassas, Mueller, Siltanen, and Stahel. We exploit Bogadanov's Miura-type map which transforms solutions of the modified Novikov-Veselov (mNV) equation into solutions of the NV equation. We show that the Cauchy data of conductivity type considered by Lassas, Mueller, Siltanen, and Stahel correspond precisely to the range of the Miura map, so that it suffices to study the mNV equation. We solve the mNV equation using the scattering transform associated to the defocussing Davey-Stewartson II equation.

Sobolev mapping properties of the scattering transform for the Schrödinger equation

We consider the scattering transform for the Schrödinger equation with a singular potential and no bound states. Using the Riccati representation for real-valued potentials on the line, we obtain invertibility and Lipschitz continuity of the scattering transform between weighted and Sobolev spaces. Our approach exploits the connection between scattering theory for the Schrödinger equation and scattering theory for the ZS-AKNS system

CR-Invariants and the Scattering Operator for Complex Manifolds with Boundary

The purpose of this paper is to describe certain CR-covariant differential operators on a strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold $M$ as residues of the scattering operator for the Laplacian on an ambient complex Kähler manifold $X$ having $M$ as a `CR-infinity.' We also characterize the CR $Q$-curvature in terms of the scattering operator. Our results parallel earlier results of Graham and Zworski \cite{GZ:2003}, who showed that if $X$ is an asymptotically hyperbolic manifold carrying a Poincaré-Einstein metric, the $Q$-curvature and certain conformally covariant differential operators on the `conformal infinity' $M$ of $X$ can be recovered from the scattering operator on $X$. The results in this paper were announced in \cite{HPT:2006}.
