On solutions of matrix soliton equations.

We show that all local holomorphic solutions of matrix soliton equations of parabolic type admit an analytic continuation to globally meromorphic functions of a spatial variable. As examples, we consider the matrix Korteweg–de Vries equation and the matrix modified Korteweg–de Vries equation, as well as various versions of the matrix nonlinear Schrödinger equation.
