Abstract
We study extensions of N-wave systems with PT symmetry and describe the types of (nonlocal) reductions leading to integrable equations invariant under the P (spatial reflection) and T (time reversal) symmetries. We derive the corresponding constraints on the fundamental analytic solutions and the scattering data. Based on examples of three-wave and four-wave systems (related to the respective algebras sl(3,C) and so(5,C)), we discuss the properties of different types of one- and two-soliton solutions. We show that the PT-symmetric three-wave equations can have regular multisoliton solutions for some specific choices of their parameters.
