On reductions of soliton solutions of multi-component NLS models and spinor Bose-Einstein condensates

Abstract

We consider a class of multicomponent nonlinear Schrodinger equations (MNLS) related to the symmetric BD.I-type symmetric spaces. As important particular case of these MNLS we obtain the Kulish-Sklyanin model. Some new reductions and their effects on the soliton solutions are obtained by proper modifying the Zakahrov-Shabat dressing method.
