Classical and Quantum Nonultralocal Systems on the Lattice
We classify nonultralocal Poisson brackets for 1-dimensional lattice systems
and describe the corresponding regularizations of the Poisson bracket relations
for the monodromy matrix . A nonultralocal quantum algebras on the lattices for
these systems are constructed.For some class of such algebras an
ultralocalization procedure is proposed.The technique of the modified
Bethe-Anzatz for these algebras is developed.This technique is applied to the
nonlinear sigma model problem.Comment: 33 pp. Latex. The file is resubmitted since it was spoiled during

Unstable Disk Galaxies. I. Modal Properties
I utilize the Petrov-Galerkin formulation and develop a new method for
solving the unsteady collisionless Boltzmann equation in both the linear and
nonlinear regimes. In the first order approximation, the method reduces to a
linear eigenvalue problem which is solved using standard numerical methods. I
apply the method to the dynamics of a model stellar disk which is embedded in
the field of a soft-centered logarithmic potential. The outcome is the full
spectrum of eigenfrequencies and their conjugate normal modes for prescribed
azimuthal wavenumbers. The results show that the fundamental bar mode is
isolated in the frequency space while spiral modes belong to discrete families
that bifurcate from the continuous family of van Kampen modes. The population
of spiral modes in the bifurcating family increases by cooling the disk and
declines by increasing the fraction of dark to luminous matter. It is shown
that the variety of unstable modes is controlled by the shape of the dark
matter density profile.Comment: Accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journa
Integrable Systems and Factorization Problems
The present lectures were prepared for the Faro International Summer School
on Factorization and Integrable Systems in September 2000. They were intended
for participants with the background in Analysis and Operator Theory but
without special knowledge of Geometry and Lie Groups. In order to make the main
ideas reasonably clear, I tried to use only matrix algebras such as
and its natural subalgebras; Lie groups used are either GL(n)
and its subgroups, or loop groups consisting of matrix-valued functions on the
circle (possibly admitting an extension to parts of the Riemann sphere). I hope
this makes the environment sufficiently easy to live in for an analyst. The
main goal is to explain how the factorization problems (typically, the matrix
Riemann problem) generate the entire small world of Integrable Systems along
with the geometry of the phase space, Hamiltonian structure, Lax
representations, integrals of motion and explicit solutions. The key tool will
be the \emph{% classical r-matrix} (an object whose other guise is the
well-known Hilbert transform). I do not give technical details, unless they may
be exposed in a few lines; on the other hand, all motivations are given in full
scale whenever possible.Comment: LaTeX 2.09, 69 pages. Introductory lectures on Integrable systems,

Gradient catastrophe and flutter in vortex filament dynamics
Gradient catastrophe and flutter instability in the motion of vortex filament
within the localized induction approximation are analyzed. It is shown that the
origin if this phenomenon is in the gradient catastrophe for the dispersionless
Da Rios system which describes motion of filament with slow varying curvature
and torsion. Geometrically this catastrophe manifests as a rapid oscillation of
a filament curve in a point that resembles the flutter of airfoils.
Analytically it is the elliptic umbilic singularity in the terminology of the
catastrophe theory. It is demonstrated that its double scaling regularization
is governed by the Painlev\'e-I equation.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, typos corrected, references adde
Integrable ODEs on Associative Algebras
In this paper we give definitions of basic concepts such as symmetries, first
integrals, Hamiltonian and recursion operators suitable for ordinary
differential equations on associative algebras, and in particular for matrix
differential equations. We choose existence of hierarchies of first integrals
and/or symmetries as a criterion for integrability and justify it by examples.
Using our componentless approach we have solved a number of classification
problems for integrable equations on free associative algebras. Also, in the
simplest case, we have listed all possible Hamiltonian operators of low order.Comment: 19 pages, LaTe
Time-Frequency Integrals and the Stationary Phase Method in Problems of Waves Propagation from Moving Sources
The time-frequency integrals and the two-dimensional stationary phase method
are applied to study the electromagnetic waves radiated by moving modulated
sources in dispersive media. We show that such unified approach leads to
explicit expressions for the field amplitudes and simple relations for the
field eigenfrequencies and the retardation time that become the coupled
variables. The main features of the technique are illustrated by examples of
the moving source fields in the plasma and the Cherenkov radiation. It is
emphasized that the deeper insight to the wave effects in dispersive case
already requires the explicit formulation of the dispersive material model. As
the advanced application we have considered the Doppler frequency shift in a
complex single-resonant dispersive metamaterial (Lorenz) model where in some
frequency ranges the negativity of the real part of the refraction index can be
reached. We have demonstrated that in dispersive case the Doppler frequency
shift acquires a nonlinear dependence on the modulating frequency of the
radiated particle. The detailed frequency dependence of such a shift and
spectral behavior of phase and group velocities (that have the opposite
directions) are studied numerically
