In classical continuum physics, a wave is a mechanical disturbance. Whether the disturbance is stationary or traveling and whether it is caused by the motion of atoms and molecules or the vibration of a lattice structure, a wave can be understood as a ...

Nonlinear PDEs for gap probabilities in random matrices and KP theory [PDF]
Airy and Pearcey-like kernels and generalizations arising in random matrix theory are expressed as double integrals of ratios of exponentials, possibly multiplied with a rational function. In this work it is shown that such kernels are intimately related

Holomorphic field theories and higher algebra
Abstract Aimed at complex geometers and representation theorists, this survey explores higher dimensional analogs of the rich interplay between Riemann surfaces, Virasoro and Kac‐Moody Lie algebras, and conformal blocks. We introduce a panoply of examples from physics — field theories that are holomorphic in nature, such as holomorphic Chern‐Simons ...

Information Transmission using the Nonlinear Fourier Transform, Part I: Mathematical Tools
The nonlinear Fourier transform (NFT), a powerful tool in soliton theory and exactly solvable models, is a method for solving integrable partial differential equations governing wave propagation in certain nonlinear media.

Abstract We study convergence problems for the intermediate long wave (ILW) equation, with the depth parameter δ>0$\delta > 0$, in the deep‐water limit (δ→∞$\delta \rightarrow \infty$) and the shallow‐water limit (δ→0$\delta \rightarrow 0$) from a statistical point of view.

Tau functions as Widom constants
We define a tau function for a generic Riemann-Hilbert problem posed on a union of non-intersecting smooth closed curves with jump matrices analytic in their neighborhood.

Heisenberg‐smooth operators from the phase‐space perspective
Abstract Cordes' characterization of Heisenberg‐smooth operators bridges a gap between the theory of pseudo‐differential operators and quantum harmonic analysis (QHA). We give a new proof of the result by using the phase‐space formalism of QHA. Our argument is flexible enough to generalize Cordes' result in several directions: (1) we can admit general ...

On the Inverse Scattering Method for Integrable PDEs on a Star Graph [PDF]
© 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. We present a framework to solve the open problem of formulating the inverse scattering method (ISM) for an integrable PDE on a star-graph. The idea is to map the problem on the graph to a matrix initial-boundary

On the wave turbulence theory of 2D gravity waves, I: Deterministic energy estimates
Abstract Our goal in this paper is to initiate the rigorous investigation of wave turbulence and derivation of wave kinetic equations (WKEs) for water waves models. This problem has received intense attention in recent years in the context of semilinear models, such as Schrödinger equations or multidimensional KdV‐type equations. However, our situation

We study the (n+1)-dimensional generalization of the dispersionless Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (dKP) equation, a universal equation describing the propagation of weakly nonlinear, quasi one dimensional waves in n+1 dimensions, and arising in several physical
