Darboux transformations and exact soliton solutions of integrable coupled spin systems related with the Manakov system

Abstract

We construct a Darboux transformation of a general $su(3)$-valued spin system called the $\Gamma$-spin system. Using this Darboux transformation we derive a recursive formula for the soliton solutions of this spin system. Then using these results we present explicit expressions for the 1-soliton solution of the coupled $su(2)$-valued spin systems, namely, of the coupled M-LIII equation.
