Analysis of solitonic interactions, and an initial connection to random matrix theory


Mathematical Physics Seminar


16th December 2022, 1:45 pm – 3:30 pm
Fry Building, 2.04


I will describe the interaction between a single soliton and a gas of solitons, providing for the first time a mathematical justification for the kinetic theory as posited by Zakharov in the 1970s. Then, if time permits, I will explain an initial connection to random matrix theory, in order to introduce randomness into a large collection of solitons. This is joint work with Manuela Girotti, Tamara Grava, Robert Jenkins, and Alexander Minakov.
