This consists in a quasi-universal hierarchy of equations, partly unifying an integro-differential generalization of the Painlev\\'e II hierarchy, the finite-time solutions of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation, multi-critical fermions at finite temperature and a notable solution to the Zakharov-Shabat system associated to the largest real eigenvalue in the real Ginibre ensemble. As a byproduct, we obtain the explicit unique solution to the inverse scattering transform of the Zakharov-Shabat system in terms of a Fredholm determinant.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-08-04T13:22:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fredholm determinant", "integro-differential hierarchies", "zakharov-shabat system", "explicit unique solution", "largest real eigenvalue" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 41, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
