Exponential and algebraic double-soliton solutions of the massive Thirring model

The newly discovered exponential and algebraic double-soliton solutions of the massive Thirring model in laboratory coordinates are placed in the context of the inverse scattering transform. We show that the exponential double-solitons correspond to double isolated eigenvalues in the Lax spectrum, whereas the algebraic double-solitons correspond to double embedded eigenvalues on the imaginary axis, where the continuous spectrum resides. This resolves the long-standing conjecture that multiple embedded eigenvalues may exist in the spectral problem associated with the massive Thirring model. To obtain the exponential double-solitons, we solve the Riemann--Hilbert problem with the reflectionless potential in the case of a quadruplet of double poles in each quadrant of the complex plane. To obtain the algebraic double-solitons, we consider the singular limit where the quadruplet of double poles degenerates into a symmetric pair of double embedded poles on the imaginary axis.

Effects of spatial dimensionality and band tilting on the longitudinal optical conductivities in Dirac bands

We report a unified theory based on linear response, for analyzing the longitudinal optical conductivity (LOC) of materials with tilted Dirac cones. Depending on the tilt parameter $t$, the Dirac electrons have four phases: untilted, type-I, type-II, and type-III; the Dirac dispersion can be isotropic or anisotropic; the spatial dimension of the material can be one-, two-, or three-dimensions (1D, 2D and 3D). The interband LOCs and intraband LOCs in $d$ dimension (with $d\ge2$) are found to scale as $σ_{0}ω^{d-2}$ and $σ_{0}μ^{d-1}δ(ω)$, respectively, where $ω$ is the frequency and $μ$ the chemical potential. The interband LOC vanishes in 1D due to lack of extra spatial dimension. In contrast, the interband LOCs in 2D and 3D are nonvanishing and share many similar properties. A universal and robust fixed point of interband LOCs appears at $ω=2μ$ no matter $d=2$ or $d=3$, which can be intuitively understood by the geometric structures of Fermi surface and energy resonance contour. The intraband LOCs and the carrier density for 2D and 3D tilted Dirac bands are both closely related to the geometric structure of Fermi surface and the cutoff of integration. The angular dependence of LOCs is found to characterize both spatial dimensionality and band tilting and the constant asymptotic background values of LOC reflect features of Dirac bands. The LOCs in the anisotropic tilted Dirac cone can be connected to its isotropic counterpart by a ratio that consists of Fermi velocities for both 2D and 3D. Most of the findings are universal for tilted Dirac materials and hence valid for a great many Dirac materials in the spatial dimensions of physical interest.

On the long-time asymptotic behavior of the Camassa-Holm equation in space-time solitonic regions

In this work, we are devoted to study the Cauchy problem of the Camassa-Holm (CH) equation with weighted Sobolev initial data in space-time solitonic regions \begin{align*} m_t+2κq_x+3qq_x=2q_xq_{xx}+qq_{xx},~~m=q-q_{xx}+κ,\\ q(x,0)=q_0(x)\in H^{4,2}(\mathbb R),~~x\in\mathbb R, ~~t>0, \end{align*} where $κ$ is a positive constant. Based on the Lax spectrum problem, a Riemann-Hilbert problem corresponding to the original problem is constructed to give the solution of the CH equation with the initial boundary value condition. Furthermore, by developing the $\bar{\partial}$-generalization of Deift-Zhou nonlinear steepest descent method, different long-time asymptotic expansions of the solution $q(x,t)$ are derived. Four asymptotic regions are divided in this work: For $ξ\in\left(-\infty,-\frac{1}{4}\right)\cup(2,\infty)$, the phase function $θ(z)$ has no stationary point on the jump contour, and the asymptotic approximations can be characterized with the soliton term confirmed by $N(j_0)$-soliton on discrete spectrum with residual error up to $O(t^{-1+2τ})$; For $ξ\in\left(-\frac{1}{4},0\right)$ and $ξ\in\left(0,2\right)$, the phase function $θ(z)$ has four and two stationary points on the jump contour, and the asymptotic approximations can be characterized with the soliton term confirmed by $N(j_0)$-soliton on discrete spectrum and the $t^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ order term on continuous spectrum with residual error up to $O(t^{-1})$. Our results also confirm the soliton resolution conjecture for the CH equation with weighted Sobolev initial data in space-time solitonic regions.

On the long-time asymptotic of the modified Camassa-Holm equation with nonzero boundary conditions in space-time solitonic regions

We investigate the long-time asymptotic behavior for the Cauchy problem of the modified Camassa-Holm (mCH) equation with nonzero boundary conditions in different regions \begin{align*} &m_{t}+\left((u^2-u_x^2)m\right)_{x}=0,~~ m=u-u_{xx}, ~~ (x,t)\in\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}^{+},\\ &u(x,0)=u_{0}(x),~~\lim_{x\to\pm\infty} u_{0}(x)=1,~~u_{0}(x)-1\in H^{4,1}(\mathbb{R}), \end{align*} where $m(x,t=0):=m_{0}(x)$ and $m_{0}(x)-1\in H^{2,1}(\mathbb{R})$. Through spectral analysis, the initial value problem of the mCH equation is transformed into a matrix RH problem on a new plane $(y,t)$, and then using the $\overline{\partial}$-nonlinear steepest descent method, we analyze the different asymptotic behaviors of the four regions divided by the interval of $ξ=y/t$ on plane $\{(y,t)|y\in(-\infty,+\infty), t>0\}$. There is no steady-state phase point corresponding to the regions $ξ\in(-\infty,-1/4)\cup(2,\infty)$. We prove that the solution of mCH equation is characterized by $N$-soliton solution and error on these two regions. In $ξ\in(-1/4,0)$ and $ξ\in(0,2)$, the phase function $θ(z)$ has eight and four steady-state phase points, respectively. We prove that the soliton resolution conjecture holds, that is, the solution of the mCH equation can be expressed as the soliton solution on the discrete spectrum, the leading term on the continuous spectrum, and the residual error. Our results also show that soliton solutions of the mCH equation with nonzero condition boundary are asymptotically stable.

Long-time asymptotic behavior of the nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation with finite density type initial data

In this work, we employ the $\bar{\partial}$-steepest descent method to investigate the Cauchy problem of the nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger (NNLS) equation with finite density type initial conditions in weighted Sobolev space $\mathcal{H}(\mathbb{R})$. Based on the Lax spectrum problem, a Riemann-Hilbert problem corresponding to the original problem is constructed to give the solution of the NNLS equation with the finite density type initial boundary value condition. By developing the $\bar{\partial}$-generalization of Deift-Zhou nonlinear steepest descent method, we derive the leading order approximation to the solution $q(x,t)$ in soliton region of space-time, $\left(\frac{x}{2t}\right)=ξ$ for any fixed $ξ=\in (1,K)$($K$ is a sufficiently large real constant), and give bounds for the error decaying as $|t|\rightarrow\infty$. Based on the resulting asymptotic behavior, the asymptotic approximation of the NNLS equation is characterized with the soliton term confirmed by $N(Λ)$-soliton on discrete spectrum and the $t^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ order term on continuous spectrum with residual error up to $O(t^{-\frac{3}{4}})$.

The long-time asymptotic behaviors of the solutions for the coupled dispersive AB system with weighted Sobolev initial data

In this work, we employ the $\bar{\partial}$-steepset descent method to study the Cauchy problem of the coupled dispersive AB system with initial conditions in weighted Sobolev space $H^{1,1}(\mathbb{R})$, \begin{align*} \left\{\begin{aligned} &A_{xt}-αA-βAB=0,\\ &B_{x}+\fracγ{2}(|A|^2)_t=0,\\ &A(x,0)=A_0(x),~~~~B(x,0)=B_0(x)\in H^{1,1}(\mathbb{R}). \end{aligned}\right. \end{align*} Begin with the Lax pair of the coupled dispersive AB system, we successfully derive the solutions of the coupled dispersive AB system by constructing the basic Riemann-Hilbert problem. By using the $\bar{\partial}$-steepset descent method, the long-time asymptotic behaviors of the solutions for the coupled dispersive AB system are characterized without discrete spectrum. Our results demonstrate that compared with the previous results, we increase the accuracy of the long-time asymptotic solution from $O(t^{-1}\log t)$ to $O(t^{-1})$.

On the asymptotic stability of $N$-soliton solutions of the modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation

The Cauchy problem of the modified nonlinear Schrödinger (mNLS) equation with the finite density type initial data is investigated via $\overline{\partial}$ steepest descent method. In the soliton region of space-time $x/t\in(5,7)$, the long-time asymptotic behavior of the mNLS equation is derived for large times. Furthermore, for general initial data in a non-vanishing background, the soliton resolution conjecture for the mNLS equation is verified, which means that the asymptotic expansion of the solution can be characterized by finite number of soliton solutions as the time $t$ tends to infinity, and a residual error $\mathcal {O}(t^{-3/4})$ is provided.

Riemann-Hilbert problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with multiple high-order poles under nonzero boundary conditions

The Riemann-Hilbert (RH) problem is first developed to study the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with multiple high-order poles under nonzero boundary conditions. Laurent expansion and Taylor series are employed to replace the residues at the simple- and the second-poles. Further, the solution of RH problem is transformed into a closed system of algebraic equations, and the soliton solutions corresponding to the transmission coefficient $1/s_{11}(z)$ with an $N$-order pole are obtained by solving the algebraic system. Then, in a more general case, the transmission coefficient with multiple high-order poles is studied, and the corresponding solutions are obtained. In addition, for high-order pole, the propagation behavior of the soliton solution corresponding to a third-order pole is given as example.

Riemann-Hilbert problem for the sextic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with non-zero boundary conditions

We consider a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem for the sextic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a non-zero boundary conditions at infinity. Before analyzing the spectrum problem, we introduce a Riemann surface and uniformization coordinate variable in order to avoid multi-value problems. Based on a new complex plane, the direct scattering problem perform a detailed analysis of the analytical, asymptotic and symmetry properties of the Jost functions and the scattering matrix. Then, a generalized Riemann-Hilbert problem (RHP) is successfully established from the results of the direct scattering transform. In the inverse scattering problem, we discuss the discrete spectrum, residue condition, trace formula and theta condition under simple poles and double poles respectively, and further solve the solution of a generalized RHP. Finally, we derive the solution of the equation for the cases of different poles without reflection potential. In addition, we analyze the localized structures and dynamic behaviors of the resulting soliton solutions by taking some appropriate values of the parameters appeared in the solutions.

Inverse scattering transform and soliton solutions for the modified matrix Korteweg-de Vries equation with nonzero boundary conditions

The theory of inverse scattering is developed to study the initial-value problem for the modified matrix Korteweg-de Vries (mmKdV) equation with the $2m\times2m$ $(m\geq 1)$ Lax pairs under the nonzero boundary conditions at infinity. In the direct problem, by introducing a suitable uniform transformation we establish the proper complex $z$-plane in order to discuss the Jost eigenfunctions, scattering matrix and their analyticity and symmetry of the equation. Moreover the asymptotic behavior of the Jost functions and scattering matrix needed in the inverse problem are analyzed via Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin expansion. In the inverse problem, the generalized Riemann-Hilbert problem of the mmKdV equation is first established by using the analyticity of the modified eigenfunctions and scattering coefficients. The reconstruction formula of potential function with reflection-less case is derived by solving this Riemann-Hilbert problem and using the scattering data. In addition the dynamic behavior of the solutions for the focusing mmKdV equation including one- and two- soliton solutions are presented in detail under the the condition that the potential is scalar and the $2\times2$ symmetric matrix. Finally, we provide some detailed proofs and weak version of trace formulas to show that the asymptotic phase of the potential and the scattering data.

Riemann-Hilbert approach to the generalized variable-coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation with non-vanishing boundary conditions

In this work, we consider the generalized variable-coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation with non-vanishing boundary conditions at infinity including the simple and double poles of the scattering coefficients. By introducing an appropriate Riemann surface and uniformization coordinate variable, we first convert the double-valued functions which occur in the process of direct scattering to single-value functions. Then, we establish the direct scattering problem via analyzing the analyticity, symmetries and asymptotic behaviors of Jost functions and scattering matrix derived from Lax pairs of the equation. Based on these results, a generalized Riemann-Hilbert problem is successfully established for the equation. The discrete spectrum and residual conditions, trace foumulae and theta conditions are investigated systematically including the simple poles case and double poles case. Moreover, the inverse scattering problem is solved via the Riemann-Hilbert approach. Finally, under the condition of reflection-less potentials, the soliton and breather solutions are well derived. Via evaluating the impact of each parameters, some interesting phenomena of these solutions are analyzed graphically.

Riemann-Hilbert approach to the inhomogeneous fifth-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with non-vanishing boundary conditions

We consider the inhomogeneous fifth-order nonlinear Schrödinger (ifoNLS) equation with nonzero boundary condition in detailed. Firstly, the spectral analysis of the scattering problem is carried out. A Riemann surface and affine parameters are first introduced to transform the original spectral parameter to a new parameter in order to avoid the multi-valued problem. Based on Lax pair of the ifoNLS equation, the Jost functions are obtained, and their analytical, asymptotic, symmetric properties, as well as the corresponding properties of the scattering matrix are established systematically. For the inverse scattering problem, we discuss the cases that the scattering coefficients have simple zeros and double zeros, respectively, and we further derive their corresponding exact solutions. Moreover, some interesting phenomena are found when we choose some appropriate parameters for these exact solutions, which is helpful to study the propagation behavior of these solutions.

In this work, the higher-order dispersive nonlinear Schrödinger equation with non-zero boundary conditions at infinity is investigated including the simple and double zeros of the scattering coefficients. We introduce a appropriate Riemann surface and uniformization variable in order to deal with the double-valued functions occurring in the process of direct scattering. Then, the direct scattering problem is analyzed involving the analyticity, symmetries and asymptotic behaviors. Moreover, for the cases of simple and double poles, we study the discrete spectrum and residual conditions, trace foumulae and theta conditions and the inverse scattering problem which is solved via the Riemann-Hilbert method. Finally, for the both cases, we construct the soliton and breather solutions under the condition of reflection-less potentials. Some interesting phenomena of the soliton and breather solutions are analyzed graphically by considering the influences of each parameters.
