Abstract
We consider N-wave type equations related to the
orthogonal algebras obtained from the generic ones via additional
reductions. The first Z2-reduction is the canonical
one. We impose a second Z2-reduction and consider also the
combined action of both reductions. For all three types of
N-wave equations we construct the soliton solutions by
appropriately modifying the Zakharov-Shabat dressing method. We
also briefly discuss the different types of one-soliton
solutions. Especially rich are the types of one-soliton solutions
in the case when both reductions are applied. This is due to the
fact that we have two different configurations of eigenvalues
for the Lax operator L: doublets, which consist of pairs of
purely imaginary eigenvalues, and quadruplets. Such situation is
analogous to the one encountered in the sine-Gordon case, which
allows two types of solitons: kinks and breathers. A new physical
system, describing Stokes-anti Stokes Raman scattering is
obtained. It is represented by a 4-wave equation related to the
B2 algebra with a canonical Z2 reduction.
Key words:
solitons; Hamiltonian systems.
