A new class of reflectionless second-order A\(\Delta\)Os and its relation to nonlocal solitons (Q1407943)

The author performs an extensive study of reflectionless analytic difference operators given by the formulas \((Af)(x) = f(x-i) + V_a(x)f(x+i)+ V_b(x)f(x)\) and \((Af)(x) = f(x-2i) - 2V_g(x)f(x-i) + f(x)\), where the potentials \(V\) are meromorphic functions, related nonlocal evolution equations which, for instance, for the second operator, take the form \((\log V_g(x))_t + (\log V_g(x+i))_t = 2i(V_g(x) - V_g(x+i))\), and solutions to these systems. In the suitable scaling limit he obtains from them the Schrödinger operators with reflectionless potentials and the Korteweg-de Vries solitons.
