The Inverse Scattering Transform (IST) for the defocusing vector nonlinear Schrodinger equations (NLS), with an arbitrary number of components and nonvanishing boundary conditions at space infinities, is formulated by adapting and generalizing the approach used by Beals, Deift, and Tomei in the development of the IST for the N-wave interaction equations. Specifically, a complete set of sectionally meromorphic eigenfunctions is obtained from a family of analytic forms that are constructed for this purpose. As in the scalar and two-component defocusing NLS, the direct and inverse problems are formulated on a two-sheeted, genus-zero Riemann surface, which is then transformed into the complex plane by means of an appropriate uniformization variable. The inverse problem is formulated as a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem with prescribed poles, jumps, and symmetry conditions. In contrast to traditional formulations of the IST, the analytic forms and eigenfunctions are first defined for complex values of the scattering parameter, and extended to the continuous spectrum a posteriori.

Inverse scattering transform for the complex coupled short-pulse equation

Aikaterini Gkogkou, Barbara Prinari, Bao-Feng Feng, A. David Trubatch

Summary: This paper develops the Riemann-Hilbert approach to the inverse scattering transform for the complex coupled short-pulse equation and obtains soliton solutions. The zoology of soliton solutions for the coupled system is richer than in the scalar case, including fundamental solitons, fundamental breathers, and composite breathers.

Manakov system with parity symmetry on nonzero background and associated boundary value problems

Asela Abeya, Gino Biondini, Barbara Prinari

Summary: We characterize the initial value problems for the defocusing Manakov system with nonzero background and spatial parity symmetry. The study reveals that the symmetries induced by parity are more complicated than in the scalar case, and the dark solitons and dark-bright solitons have specific symmetric properties.

Modulation theory for soliton resonance and Mach reflection

Samuel J. Ryskamp, Mark A. Hoefer, Gino Biondini

Summary: In this study, resonant Y-shaped soliton solutions to the KPII equation are modeled as shock solutions, demonstrating a reduction to a one-dimensional system in the zero dispersion limit. The results have practical applications in analytically describing the dynamics of the Mach reflection problem, showing excellent agreement with direct numerical simulations.

Gino Biondini, Dmitri Kireyev

Summary: This paper investigates the periodic, traveling wave solutions of all four versions of the Davey-Stewartson system and describes these solutions in terms of elliptic functions. Special reductions and limiting cases, including harmonic limits, soliton limits, and one-dimensional solutions, are also explicitly discussed.

Soliton resonance and web structure in the Davey-Stewartson system

Gino Biondini, Dmitri Kireyev, Ken-ichi Maruno

Summary: The paper discusses a large class of nonsingular multi-soliton solutions of the defocusing Davey-Stewartson II equation, studying their asymptotics, interaction patterns, and identifying several subclasses of solutions. Many solutions describe phenomena of soliton resonance and web structure, with some exhibiting unique features like V-shape solutions and soliton reconnection.

Whitham modulation theory for the defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation in two and three spatial dimensions

Asela Abeya, Gino Biondini, Mark A. Hoefer

Summary: The Whitham modulation equations for the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation are derived using a two-phase ansatz and period-averaging the conservation laws. The resulting equations preserve the symmetries of the NLS equation and can be easily generalized from two to three spatial dimensions. The transformation to Riemann-type variables, harmonic and soliton limits, and reduction to the radial NLS equation are discussed. The extension to higher spatial dimensions is briefly outlined. The obtained NLS-Whitham equations can be applied in studying large amplitude wavetrains in nonlinear photonics and matter waves.

Whitham modulation theory for the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation and stability analysis of its periodic traveling wave solutions

Gino Biondini, Alexander Chernyavsky

Summary: In this paper, we derive the Whitham modulation equations for the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation and study the stability of its periodic traveling wave solutions. We find that these solutions are linearly unstable with respect to transversal perturbations, and the growth rate of perturbations in the long wave limit can be obtained analytically. The predictions of Whitham modulation theory are validated by numerical calculations and are in excellent agreement with the linearized equation. Furthermore, we extend the stability analysis to periodic waves traveling in arbitrary directions and to perturbations that are not purely transversal, and determine the corresponding domains of stability and instability.

Inverse Scattering Transform for the Defocusing Manakov System with Non-Parallel Boundary Conditions at Infinity

Asela Abeya, Gino Biondini, Barbara Prinari

Summary: This paper develops the inverse scattering transform (IST) for the defocusing Manakov system with non-zero boundary conditions at infinity, involving non-parallel asymptotic polarization vectors. A uniformization variable is used to eliminate the square root branching, and the adjoint Lax pair is applied to overcome the non-analyticity problem of some Jost eigenfunctions. The inverse problem is formulated as a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem (RHP), and methods for converting the RHP into linear algebraic-integral equations are presented.

Theoretical and numerical evidence for the potential realization of the Peregrine soliton in repulsive two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

A. Romero-Ros, G. C. Katsimiga, S. I. Mistakidis, B. Prinari, G. Biondini, P. Schmelcher, P. G. Kevrekidis

Summary: This study demonstrates the potential for realizing the Peregrine soliton structure through theoretical and numerical simulations based on the experimental realization of the Townes soliton in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate. By initializing the condensate with a suitable spatial density pattern, the robust emergence of the Peregrine wave is observed in different scenarios. The study also reveals that narrower wave packets can lead to periodic revivals of the Peregrine soliton, while broader ones give rise to a cascade of Peregrine solitons arranged in a specific structure. The persistence of these rogue-wave structures is demonstrated in certain temperature regimes and in the presence of transversal excitations. The findings offer insights into the practical feasibility of generating and observing rogue waves in ultracold atom experimental settings.

On-demand generation of dark-bright soliton trains in Bose-Einstein condensates

A. Romero-Ros, G. C. Katsimiga, P. G. Kevrekidis, B. Prinari, G. Biondini, P. Schmelcher

Summary: This work extends earlier findings on the creation of dark soliton trains in single-component BECs to two-component BECs, and obtains analytical expressions for the DB soliton solutions produced by a general initial configuration. It is found that the size of the initial box and the amount of filling directly affect the number, size, and velocity of the solitons, while the initial phase determines the parity of the solutions.

p-star models, mean-field random networks, and the heat hierarchy

Gino Biondini, Antonio Moro, Barbara Prinari, Oleg Senkevich

Summary: In this study, the mean-field analog of the p-star model for homogeneous random networks is compared with the p-star model and its classical mean-field approximation in the thermodynamic regime. It is shown that the partition function of the mean-field model satisfies a sequence of partial differential equations known as the heat hierarchy, and the models connectance is obtained as a solution of a hierarchy of nonlinear viscous PDEs.
