Higher dimensional integrable deformations of the modified KdV equation

The derivation of nonlinear integrable evolution partial differential equations in higher dimensions has always been the holy grail in the field of integrability. The well-known modified KdV equation is a prototypical example of integrable evolution equations in one spatial dimension. Do there exist integrable analogs of modified KdV equation in higher spatial dimensions? In what follows, we present a positive answer to this question. In particular, rewriting the (1+1)-dimensional integrable modified KdV equation in conservation forms and adding deformation mappings during the process allow one to construct higher dimensional integrable equations. Further, we illustrate this idea with examples from the modified KdV hierarchy, also present the Lax pairs of these higher dimensional integrable evolution equations.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure

Nonlocal Symmetries and the \u3cem\u3en\u3c/em\u3eth Finite Symmetry Transformation or AKNS System

In this paper, by introduction of pseudopotentials, the nonlocal symmetry is obtained for the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur system, which is used to describe many physical phenomena in different applications. Together with some auxiliary variables, this kind of nonlocal symmetry can be localized to Lie point symmetry and the corresponding once finite symmetry transformation is calculated for both the original system and the prolonged system. Furthermore, the nth finite symmetry transformation represented in terms of determinant and exact solutions are derived
