N-wave interactions related to simple Lie algebras. Z_2- reductions and soliton solutions
The reductions of the integrable N-wave type equations solvable by the
inverse scattering method with the generalized Zakharov-Shabat systems L and
related to some simple Lie algebra g are analyzed. The Zakharov- Shabat
dressing method is extended to the case when g is an orthogonal algebra.
Several types of one soliton solutions of the corresponding N- wave equations
and their reductions are studied. We show that to each soliton solution one can
relate a (semi-)simple subalgebra of g. We illustrate our results by 4-wave
equations related to so(5) which find applications in Stockes-anti-Stockes wave
generation.Comment: 18 pages, 1 figure, LaTeX 2e, IOP-style; More clear exposition.

On the Caudrey-Beals-Coifman System and the Gauge Group Action
The generalized Zakharov-Shabat systems with complex-valued Cartan elements
and the systems studied by Caudrey, Beals and Coifman (CBC systems) and their
gauge equivalent are studies. This includes: the properties of fundamental
analytical solutions (FAS) for the gauge-equivalent to CBC systems and the
minimal set of scattering data; the description of the class of nonlinear
evolutionary equations solvable by the inverse scattering method and the
recursion operator, related to such systems; the hierarchies of Hamiltonian
structures.Comment: 12 pages, no figures, contribution to the NEEDS 2007 proceedings

On Kaup-Kupershchmidt–type equations and their soliton solutions
We start with the Lax representation for the Kaup-Kupersschmidt equation (KKE). We outline the deep relation between the scalar Lax operator and the matrix Lax operators related to Kac-Moody algebras. Then we derive the
MKdV equations gauge equivalent to the KKE. Next we outline the symmetry and the spectral properties of the relevant Lax operator. Using the dressing Zakharov-Shabat method we demonstrate that the MKdV and KKE have two types of onesoliton solutions and briefly comment on their properties
