N-soliton solutions to the DKP equation and Weyl group actions
  We study soliton solutions to the DKP equation which is defined by the Hirota bilinear form, \[ {\begin{array}{llll} (-4D_xD_t+D_x^4+3D_y^2) \tau_n\cdot\tau_n=24\tau_{n-1}\tau_{n+1}, (2D_t+D_x^3\mp 3D_xD_y) \tau_{n\pm 1}\cdot\tau_n=0 \end{array} \quad n=1,2,.... \] where $\tau_0=1$. The $\tau$-functions $\tau_n$ are given by the pfaffians of certain skew-symmetric matrix. We identify one-soliton solution as an element of the Weyl group of D-type, and discuss a general structure of the interaction patterns among the solitons. Soliton solutions are characterized by $4N\times 4N$ skew-symmetric constant matrix which we call the $B$-matrices. We then find that one can have $M$-soliton solutions with $M$ being any number from $N$ to $2N-1$ for some of the $4N\times 4N$ $B$-matrices having only $2N$ nonzero entries in the upper triangular part (the number of solitons obtained from those $B$-matrices was previously expected to be just $N$).
