A new (2 + 1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation with the help of the nonisospectral Lax pair is presented. It is shown that the compatible solutions of the first two nontrivial equations in the (1 + 1)-dimensional Kaup–Newell soliton hierarchy provide solutions of the new breaking soliton equation. Then, the new breaking soliton equation is decomposed into the systems of solvable ordinary differential equations. Finally, a hyperelliptic Riemann surface and Abel–Jacobi coordinates are introduced to straighten the associated flow, from which the algebro-geometric solutions of the new (2 + 1)-dimensional integrable equation are constructed by means of the Riemann functions.

1. Introduction
Algebro-geometric solutions are an important class among exact solutions to nonlinear equations, which were first developed as analogs of inverse scattering theory. They can be regarded as explicit solutions of the nonlinear integrable evolution equation and used to approximate more general solutions. Algebro-geometric solutions can not only reveal the intrinsic structure of solutions, but also characterize the quasi-periodic behavior of nonlinear phenomena. Various approaches have been developed to obtain algebro-geometric solutions of soliton equations, such as the algebro-geometric approach [1], the nonlinearization of Lax pairs [2], the finite-order expansion of the Lax matrix [3], and so on [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14].
On the one hand, based on the nonlinearization technique of Lax pairs and direct methods, many algebro-geometric solutions of (1 + 1)-dimensional [4,5,6], (2 + 1)-dimensional [3,7], and differential-difference [7,8] soliton equations have been obtained [9,10]. On the other hand, algebro-geometric solutions are successfully extended from a single equation to a hierarchy [11,12,13]. Recently, the Riemann–Hilbert method was also provided to solve algebro-geometric solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries equation [15]. And the algebro-geometric solutions of the entire Sine–Gordon hierarchy are constructed by using the asymptotic properties of the meromorphic function [13]. Compared with algebro-geometric solutions of the above well-known soliton equations, the study of algebro-geometric solutions of breaking soliton equations has received comparatively less attention.
It is well known that breaking soliton equations are types of nonlinear evolution equations which can be used to describe the interaction of a Riemann wave along the y-axis and the wave along the x-axis [16,17]. So, the derivation of new integrable breaking soliton equations is an interesting topic. In Ref. [18], we have given the algebro-geometric solutions of the known (2 + 1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation associated with the Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur soliton hierarchy resorting to the direct method.
In this paper, based on the well-known (1 + 1)-dimensional soliton equations, we propose the following (2 + 1)-dimensional integrable breaking soliton equation:
where x and y are the scaled space coordinates, t is the scaled time coordinate, q and r are functions of which represent the wave profiles. To the best of our knowledge, the above (2 + 1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation has not before appeared in the literature. It is shown that the algebro-geometric solutions of the new (2 + 1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation are reduced to solving two systems of solvable ordinary differential equations by the variable separation technique. Thus, with the help of a hyperelliptic Riemann surface, Abel–Jacobi coordinates, and the Riemann functions, the algebro-geometric solutions of the new (2 + 1)-dimensional integrable equation can be obtained.
In Section 2 that follows, we construct the new (2 + 1)-dimensional breaking soliton Equation (1) associated with the Kaup–Newell soliton hierarchy. A zero curvature representation for (1) is presented. Then, in Section 3, based on the the solutions of the (1 + 1)-dimensional soliton equations and the elliptic coordinates, the solutions of the new (2 + 1)-dimensional integrable equation are reduced to solving ordinary differential equations. In Section 4, a hyperelliptic Riemann surface and Abel–Jacobi coordinates are introduced to straighten the associated flow. Jacobi’s inversion problem is discussed, from which the algebro-geometric solutions of the new (2 + 1)-dimensional integrable equation are constructed in terms of the Riemann functions. A short conclusion is presented in Section 5.
2. The New (2 + 1)-Dimensional Integrable Breaking Soliton Equation
In this section, we shall construct the new (2 + 1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation associated with the Kaup–Newell soliton hierarchy. It is well known that the Kaup–Newell equation is an important nonlinear derivative Schödinger equation. Some corresponding results for the Chen–Lee–Liu equation and Gerdjikov–Ivanov equation can be obtained from the Kaup–Newell equation in principle [4,19].
The Kaup–Newell soliton hierarchy is an isospectral evolution equation hierarchy associated with the spectral problem [20]
where q and r are two scalar potentials, and is a constant spectral parameter. To derive the hierarchy, we first introduce the Lenard gradient sequence by the recursion relation
where and
It is easy to see that is uniquely determined by the recursion relation (3). A direct calculation gives
the auxiliary spectral of (2)
The compatibility condition between (2) and (4) is the stationary zero curvature equation
which is equivalent to the well-known Kaup–Newell hierarchy of soliton equations
The first two nontrivial members and in the hierarchy are
and
We substitute (6) into (7) and note that (8) yields the (2 + 1)-dimensional Equation (1). Therefore, if q and r are the compatible solutions of (6) and (7), we can see that and are also the solutions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional equation (1), where represents an inverse operator of with the condition , which can be defined as under the decaying condition at infinity.
In the following, we can check that the (2 + 1)-dimensional Equation (1) has nonisospectral zero curvature representation:
which can be deduced from the compatibility condition of the following equations:
where and
3. Variable Separation
In this section, we shall show how the (1 + 1)-dimensional (6) and (7) are reduced to solvable ordinary differential equations. Assume that (2) and (4) have two basic solutions and . We define a matrix W of three functions by
It is easy to verify by (2) and (4) that
which imply that the function is a constant independent of x and t. Equation (10) can be written as
and
Now, suppose that the functions f, g, and h are finite-order polynomials in :
It is easy to see that has the general solution
where is a constant of integration. So, . Acting with the operator upon (15), we can obtain from (3) and (14) that
where , …, are integral constants. Substituting (16) into (14) obtains the following stationary evolution equation:
This means that expression (13) is existent.
In what follows, we decompose (6) and (7) into systems of integrable ordinary differential equations. Without loss of generality, let . From (3) and (14), we have
We can write g and h as the following finite products:
where Comparing the coefficients of and , we obtain
Therefore,
in view of the equality
Let us consider the function , which is a -order polynomial in with constant coefficients of the x flow and flow
Together with (18), we have
From (26), we see that
Together with (29), we obtain
In summary, if are distinct parameters, are compatible solutions of differential Equations (31), (34) and (35). Then, q and r determined by (21) and (24) is the compatible solution of (6) and (7), which means the (1 + 1)-dimensional soliton Equations (6) and (7) are decomposed into solvable ordinary differential equations with the help of the coordinates , so we can see that w and v is also a solution of the (2 + 1)-dimensional Equation (1).
4. Algebro-Geometric Solution
In this section, in order to obtain the algebro-geometric solutions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional breaking soliton Equation (1), we first introduce the hyperelliptic Riemann surface
with genus . On , there are two infinite points, and , which are not branch points of . Equip with the canonical basis of cycles , and the holomorphic differentials
Then, the period matrices A and B, which are invertible matrices [21], are defined by
Using A and B, we can define matrices C and , where
then, matrix can be shown to be symmetric and it has a positive defined imaginary part. We normalize into the new basis
which satisfy
For a fixed point , then we introduce an Abel–Jacobi coordinate as follows:
where
On the basis of these results, we obtain the following:
where
An Abel map on is defined as
Consider two special divisors , and we have
where . The Riemann function of is defined as
where . According to the Riemann theorem, there exist two constant vectors, , such that
have exactly zeros at for or for . To make the function single valued, the surface is cut along all to form a simple connected region, whose boundary is denoted by . Notice the fact that the integrals
are constants independent of with . By the residue theorem, we have
Here, we need only compute the residues in (41) for . In a way, this is similar to calculations [3,4]. So, we finally obtain
where and are constants. Thus, from (41) and (42), we arrive at
5. Conclusions
A new (2 + 1)-dimensional integrable breaking soliton equation is presented with the help of (1 + 1)-dimensional soliton equations associated with the Kaup–Newell soliton hierarchy. The (2 + 1)-dimensional integrable equation is reduced into solvable ordinary differential equations. By introducing the hyperelliptic Riemann surface and Abel–Jacobi coordinates, the associated flow is straightened. Then, the algebro-geometric solutions of the new (2 + 1)-dimensional integrable equation are constructed by means of the Riemann functions. It should also be pointed out that the method used here is suitable for other soliton hierarchies.
