Symmetries, conserved integrals, Hamiltonian structures, and related aspects of PDEs have attracted much activity in recent years. At the same time, there has been a surge of geometric approaches to the study of integrable PDE systems. My proposal builds significantly on these directions of research in my current grant. Many parts are well suited for MSc projects, PhD theses, and postdoctoral work, as well as contributions by undergrad research students.**Bi-Hamiltonian integrable systems and curve/surface flows:*Using geometric frame methods, I recently derived universal multi-component integrable systems which are group-invariant generalizations of nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS), modified Korteveg de Vries (mKdV), sine-Gordon (SG) equations with a bi-Hamiltonian structure, arising from curve flows in Riemannian symmetric spaces and semisimple Lie groups.**In work underway with MSc students, we are deriving new types of NLS/mKdV eqns. from Hermitian and Lorentzian symmetric spaces. I plan to derive new quaternion and matrix types of eqns.from quaternion and Grassmannian spaces. I also plan to apply similar methods to an important open problem of how to derive group-invariant integrable systems from curve flows in homogeneous spaces.* *I intend to extend my method to derive Lax pairs. This will lead to a geometric understanding of Drinfeld&Sokolov's universal construction of Lax pairs in affine Lie algebras, which is a central result in the theory of integrable systems. I also intend to lift the Lax pairs and bi-Hamiltonian structures from the frame variables back to the curve flow. This will give an explicit formulation of abstract results known on Lax pairs and Poisson brackets.**Generalizing work I have done in R^3, I plan to derive 2+1 dimensional integrable systems from geometric surface flows in symmetric spaces/Lie groups. The results will have a large impact because only a few types of such systems are presently known.**Multi-component solitons:*In work with students, we are studying interaction of 2-component mKdV solitons. Compared to the 1-component case, these solutions exhibit interesting, new features, including formation of "rogue waves", which is a very active topic in applied math. We will go on to n-component solitons. **Conserved integrals:*An open problem is to determine all conserved integrals for fundamental equations of fluid flow. In work with a PhD student on inviscid compressible fluid eqns., we derived all kinematic and vorticity integrals on moving domains in R^n. I recently extended the results to moving surfaces, yielding interesting generalizations of helicity and entropy circulation. **I plan to obtain all such conserved integrals on moving domains/surfaces for several other important fluid eqns. in R^n and in Riemannian manifolds. The results will be of basic interest in the geometrical/topological study of n-dim. hydrodynamics elaborated by Arnold&Khesin. **Symmetries, conservation laws, and exact solutions of nonlinear PDEs:*Symmetry-invariant solutions are very useful for physical and mathematical reasons. With collaborators, I developed a novel symmetry method based on geometrical group foliations to find explicit invariant and non-invariant solutions to PDEs with power nonlinearities. For the nonlinear wave/heat equations we considered, these solutions have interesting analytical behavior related to blow-up, attractors, decay/dispersion, including cases of critical powers. I plan to continue developing this method and apply it to other physically and analytically interesting PDEs. This will have a large impact in symmetry methods and analysis of PDEs.**I also plan to explore new connections between symmetries and conservation laws, stemming from work with Bluman summarized in our recent book.

近年来，偏微分方程的对称性、守恒积分、哈密顿结构和相关方面吸引了大量的研究。与此同时，对可积偏微分方程组的几何方法的研究也不断涌现。我的建议在很大程度上建立在我目前资助的这些研究方向上。许多部分非常适合于硕士项目，博士论文和博士后工作，以及本科研究生的贡献。双Hamilton可积系统和曲线/曲面流：* 使用几何框架方法，我最近导出了通用的多分量可积系统，它们是非线性薛定谔（NLS），修正的Korteveg de弗里斯（mKdV），sine-Gordon（SG）方程的群不变推广，具有双Hamilton结构，产生于黎曼对称空间和半单李群中的曲线流。**在与理学硕士学生正在进行的工作中，我们正在推导新型的NLS/mKdV方程。厄米和洛伦兹对称空间。我计划从四元数和格拉斯曼空间导出新的四元数和矩阵类型的方程。我还计划将类似的方法应用于一个重要的公开问题，即如何从齐次空间中的曲线流导出群不变的可积系统。* 我打算扩展我的方法来推导Lax对。这将导致一个几何的理解Drinfeld&Sokolov的普遍建设的Lax对仿射李代数，这是一个中心的结果，在理论的可积系统。我还打算解除拉克斯对和双哈密顿结构从框架变量回到曲线流。这将给出Lax对和Poisson括号上已知的抽象结果的显式公式。推广我在R^3中所做的工作，我计划从对称空间/李群中的几何表面流导出2+1维可积系统。结果将产生巨大的影响，因为目前已知的这种系统只有几种类型。多分量孤子：* 在与学生的工作中，我们正在研究2分量mKdV孤子的相互作用。与单分量情形相比，这些解表现出有趣的新特征，包括“流氓波”的形成，这是应用数学中非常活跃的主题。** 守恒积分：* 一个开放的问题是确定流体流动基本方程的所有守恒积分。在与博士生合作研究无粘可压缩流体方程时，我们导出了R^n中运动域上的所有运动学积分和涡度积分。我最近将结果扩展到移动表面，产生了螺旋度和熵循环的有趣概括。** 我计划获得其他几个重要流体方程在移动域/表面上的所有此类守恒积分。在R^n和黎曼流形中。所得结果对Arnold和Khesin所阐述的n维流体力学的几何/拓扑研究具有基本意义。** 非线性偏微分方程的对称性、守恒律和精确解：* 对称不变解在物理和数学上非常有用。与合作者，我开发了一种新的对称性方法的基础上几何群叶理找到明确的不变和非不变的解决方案，以功率非线性偏微分方程。对于我们考虑的非线性波/热方程，这些解具有与爆破、吸引子、衰减/色散相关的有趣的分析行为，包括临界功率的情况。我计划继续开发这种方法，并将其应用于其他物理和分析上有趣的偏微分方程。这将对偏微分方程的对称性方法和分析产生巨大的影响。我还计划探索对称性和守恒定律之间的新联系，这些联系源于我们最近的书中总结的与布鲁曼的工作。
