Mixed Riemann-Hilbert problem with given principal parts on a Riemann surface

In this paper, we investigate the focusing Kundu–Eckhaus equation with non-zero boundary conditions. An appropriate two-sheeted Riemann surface is introduced to map the spectral parameter [Formula: see text] into a single-valued parameter [Formula: see text]. Starting from the Lax pair of Kundu–Eckhaus equation, two kinds of Jost solutions are constructed. Further, their asymptotic, analyticity, symmetries as well as spectral matrix are analyzed in detail. It is shown that the solution of the Kundu–Eckhaus equation with non-zero boundary conditions can be characterized with a matrix Riemann–Hilbert problem. Then a formula of [Formula: see text]-soliton solutions is derived by solving the Riemann–Hilbert problem. As applications of the [Formula: see text]-soliton formula, the first-order explicit soliton solutions with different dynamical features are obtained and analyzed.

Riemann Hilbert Problem

In this paper, we study those polynomials, orthogonal with respect to a particular weight, over the union of disjoint intervals, first introduced by N. I. Akhiezer, via a reformulation as a matrix factorization or Riemann–Hilbert problem. This approach complements the method proposed in a previous paper, which involves the construction of a certain meromorphic function on a hyperelliptic Riemann surface. The method described here is based on the general Riemann–Hilbert scheme of the theory of integrable systems and will enable us to derive, in a very straightforward way, the relevant system of Fuchsian differential equations for the polynomials and the associated system of the Schlesinger deformation equations for certain quantities involving the corresponding recurrence coefficients. Both of these equations were obtained earlier by A. Magnus. In our approach, however, we are able to go beyond Magnus' results by actually solving the equations in terms of the Riemanni Θ -functions. We also show that the related Hankel determinant can be interpreted as the relevant τ -function.

Riemann Hilbert Problem

AbstractWe introduce a new approach to find the Tomita–Takesaki modular flow for multi-component regions in general chiral conformal field theory. Our method is based on locality and analyticity of primary fields as well as the so-called Kubo–Martin–Schwinger (KMS) condition. These features can be used to transform the problem to a Riemann–Hilbert problem on a covering of the complex plane cut along the regions, which is equivalent to an integral equation for the matrix elements of the modular Hamiltonian. Examples are considered.

AbstractThe paper has two relatively distinct but connected goals; the first is to define the notion of Padé approximation of Weyl–Stiltjes transforms on an arbitrary compact Riemann surface of higher genus. The data consists of a contour in the Riemann surface and a measure on it, together with the additional datum of a local coordinate near a point and a divisor of degree g. The denominators of the resulting Padé-like approximation also satisfy an orthogonality relation and are sections of appropriate line bundles. A Riemann–Hilbert problem for a square matrix of rank two is shown to characterize these orthogonal sections, in a similar fashion to the ordinary orthogonal polynomial case. The second part extends this idea to explore its connection to integrable systems. The same data can be used to define a pairing between two sequences of line bundles. The locus in the deformation space where the pairing becomes degenerate for fixed degree coincides with the zeros of a “tau” function. We show how this tau function satisfies the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili hierarchy with respect to either deformation parameters, and a certain modification of the 2-Toda hierarchy when considering the whole sequence of tau functions. We also show how this construction is related to the Krichever construction of algebro-geometric solutions.
