The focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation serves as a universal model for the amplitude of a wave packet in a general one-dimensional weakly-nonlinear and strongly-dispersive setting that includes water waves and nonlinear optics as special cases. Rogue waves of infinite order are a novel family of solutions of the focusing nonlinear Schr¨odinger equation that emerge universally in a particular asymptotic regime involving a large-amplitude and near-field limit of a broad class of solutions of the same equation. In this talk, we will present several recent results on the emergence of these special solutions along with their interesting asymptotic and exact properties. Notably, these solutions exhibit anomalously slow temporaldecay and are connected to the third Painlev´e equation. Finally, we will extend the emergence of rogue waves of infinite order to the first several flows of the AKNS hierarchy — allowing for arbitrarily many simultaneous flows — and report on recent work regarding their space-time asymptotic behavior under a general flow from the hierarchy.[-]

We prove that the solution to the Benjamin-Ono equation on the line, with initial data given by minus a soliton, exhibits scattering in infinite time. Our approach relies on an explicit formula for solutions with rational initial data in L2 having only simple poles. This formula is expressed as a ratio of determinants involving contour integrals. Additionally, we develop some spectral properties of the Lax operator associated with the Benjamin-Ono equation. This work is in collaboration with Elliot Blackstone, Patrick Gérard, and Peter D.

The focusing Continuum Calogero–Moser (CCM) equation is a completely integrable PDE that describes a continuum limit of a particle gas interacting pairwise through an inverse square potential. This system is well-posed in the scaling-critical space L2 below the mass of the soliton, but above this threshold there are solutions that blow up in finite time. In this talk, we will discuss some new and existing results about solutions below the soliton mass threshold. This is based on joint work with Rowan Killip and Monica Visan.[-]

In this talk, I discuss the energy-critical half-wave maps equation (HWM). It has been known for quite some time that (HWM) is completely integrable with a Lax pair structure. However, the question about global-in-time existence of solutions has been completely open so far — even for smooth and sufficiently small initial data. I will present very recent results that prove global well-posedness for rational initial data (with no size restriction) along with a general soliton resolution result in the large-time limit. The proofs strongly exploit the Lax structure of (HWM) in combination with an explicit flow formula. This is joint work with Patrick Gérard (Paris-Saclay).[-]
