The eigenvalue-support conjecture for rational KP solitons
The eigenvalue-support conjecture for rational KP solitons
Let represent a rational KP soliton with normalized Baker–Akhiezer function . Consider the finitely supported distributions in that annihilate ; their support records the points at which these distributions are concentrated, and the Jordan blocks of and determine the corresponding derivative orders.
Eigenvalue-support conjecture. The support of the distributions annihilating is the set of eigenvalues of the matrices and , with the highest derivative taken at a particular eigenvalue bounded by the size of the corresponding Jordan block.
For non-degenerate solitons, the eigenvalues of and already determine the support and determines the coefficients. This conjecture asserts that the same description remains valid in general, clarifying the geometry of and its relationship with the rational Grassmannian and KP solutions.
