Closed Loop Solitons and Sigma Functions: Classical and Quantized Elasticas with Genera One and Two

Closed loop solitons in a plane, whose curvatures obey the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation, were investigated. It was shown that their tangential vectors are expressed by ratio of Weierstrass sigma functions for genus one case and ratio of Baker's sigma functions for the genus two case. This study is closely related to classical and quantized elastica problems.Comment: AMS-Tex Use 12 page

Hyperelliptic Loop Solitons with Genus g: Investigations of a Quantized Elastica

In the previous work (J. Geom. Phys. {\bf{39}} (2001) 50-61), the closed loop solitons in a plane, \it i.e., loops whose curvatures obey the modified Korteweg-de Vries equations, were investigated for the case related to algebraic curves with genera one and two. This article is a generalization of the previous article to those of hyperelliptic curves with general genera. It was proved that the tangential angle of loop soliton is expressed by the Weierstrass hyperelliptic al function for a given hyperelliptic curve $y^2 = f(x)$ with genus $g$.Comment: AMS-Tex, 14 page
