• Exact solutions of the field equations for Charap’s chiral invariant model of the pion dynamics

The field equations for the chiral invariant model of pion dynamics developed by Charap have been revisited. Two new types of solutions of these equations have been obtained. Each type allows infinite number of solutions. It has also been shown that the chiral invariant field equations admit invariance for a transformation of the dependent variables.

• A combination of Yang’s equations forSU(2) gauge fields and Charap’s equations for pion dynamics with exact solutions

Two sets of nonlinear partial differential equations originating from two different physical situations have been combined and a new set of nonlinear partial differential equations has been formed wherefrom the previous two sets can be obtained as particular cases. One of the two sets of equations was obtained by Yang [1] while discussing the condition of self-duality ofSU(2) gauge fields on Euclidean four-dimensional space. The second one was reported by Charap [2] for the chiral invariant model of pion dynamics under tangential parametrization. Using the same type of ansatz in each case De and Ray [16] and Ray [7] obtained physical solutions of the two sets of equations. Here exact solutions of the combined set of equations with particular values of the coupling constants have been obtained for a similar ansatz. These solutions too are physical in nature.

• Some physical solutions of Yang’s equations forSU(2) gauge fields, Charap’s equations for pion dynamics and their combination

Some previously obtained physical solutions [1–3] of Yang’s equations forSU(2) gauge fields [4], Charap’s equations for pion dynamics [5,6] and their combination as proposed by Chakraborty and Chanda [1] have been presented. They represent different physical characteristics, e.g. spreading wave with solitary profile which tends to zero as time tends to infinity, spreading wave packets, solitary wave with oscillatory profile, localised wave with solitary profile which becomes plane wave periodically, and, wave packets which are oscillatory in nature.

• Painlevé test for integrability and exact solutions for the field equations for Charap’s chiral invariant model of the pion dynamics

It has been shown that the field equations for Charap’s chiral invariant model of the pion dynamics pass the Painlevé test for complete integrability in the sense of Weisset al. The truncation procedure of the same analysis leads to auto-Backlund transformation between two pairs of solutions. With the help of this transformation non-trivial exact solutions have been rediscovered

• On a revisit to the Painlevé test for integrability and exact solutions for Yang’s self-dual equations forSU (2) gauge fields

Painlevé test (Jimboet al [1]) for integrability for the Yang’s self-dual equations forSU(2) gauge fields has been revisited. Jimboet al analysed the complex form of the equations with a rather restricted form of singularity manifold. They did not discuss exact solutions in that context. Here the analysis has been done starting from the real form of the same equations and keeping the singularity manifold completely general in nature. It has been found that the equations, in real form, pass the Painlevé test for integrability. The truncation procedure of the same analysis leads to non-trivial exact solutions obtained previously and auto-Backlund transformation between two pairs of those solutions

• On some exact solutions of slightly variant forms of Yang's equations and their graphical representations

The equations obtained by Yang while discussing the condition of self-duality of $SU(2)$ gauge fields on Euclidean four-dimensional space have been generalized. Exact solutions and their graphical representations for the generalized equation (for some particular values of the parameters) have been reported. They represent interesting physical characteristics like waves with spreading solitary profile, spreading wave packets, waves with pulsating solitary profile (between zero and a maximum), waves with oscillatory solitary profile and chaos.
