Inverse problem and estimates for periodic Zakharov-Shabat systems

Consider the Zakharov-Shabat operator T_ZS on L²(?) ? L²(?) with real periodic vector potential q = (q₁, q₂) ? H = L²() ? L²(). The spectrum of T_ZS  is absolutely continuous and consists of intervals separated by gaps (z_n^? , z_n⁺ ), n ? ?. From the Dirichlet eigenvalues m_n , n ? ? of the Zakharov-Shabat equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions at 0, 1, the center of the gap and the square of the gap length we construct the gap length mapping g : H ? ?² ? ?². Using nonlinear functional analysis in Hilbert spaces, we show that this mapping is a real analytic isomorphism. Our proof relies on new identities and a priori estimates contained in the second part of the paper. In order to get these estimates we obtain new results in conformal mapping theory.
