Symmetry Breaking Soliton, Breather, and Lump Solutions of a Nonlocal Kadomtsev–Petviashvili System

Abstract EN

The Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation is one of the well-studied models of nonlinear waves in dispersive media and in multicomponent plasmas.

In this paper, the coupled Alice-Bob system of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation is first constructed via the parity with a shift of the space variable x and time reversal with a delay.

By introducing an extended Bäcklund transformation, symmetry breaking soliton, symmetry breaking breather, and symmetry breaking lump solutions for this system are presented through the established Hirota bilinear form.

According to the corresponding constants in the involved ansatz function, a few fascinating symmetry breaking structures of the presented explicit solutions are shown.
