%0 Journal Article %T On integrability of the vector short pulse equation %A Sergei Sakovich %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %R 10.1143/JPSJ.77.123001 %X Using the Painleve analysis preceded by appropriate transformations of nonlinear systems under investigation, we discover two new cases in which the Pietrzyk-Kanattsikov-Bandelow vector short pulse equation must be integrable due to the results of the Painleve test. Those cases are technologically important because they correspond to the propagation of polarized ultra-short light pulses in usual isotropic silica optical fibers. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0801.3179v2
