We review here particular aspects of the connection between Laplacian growth problems and classical integrable systems. In addition, we put forth a possible relation between quantum integrable systems and Laplacian growth problems. Such a connection, if confirmed, has the potential to allow for a theoretical prediction of the fractal properties of Laplacian growth clusters, through the representation theory of conformal field theory.

The large class of moving boundary processes in the plane modeled by the so-called Laplacian growth, which describes, e.g., solidification, electrodeposition, viscous fingering, bacterial growth, etc., is known to be integrable and to exhibit a large number of exact solutions. In this work, the boundaries are assumed to be in the class of lemniscates with all zeros inside the bounded component of the complex plane. We prove that for any initial boundary taken from this class, the evolving boundary instantly stops being in the class, or else Laplacian growth destroys lemniscates instantly.
We give a sufficient condition for quantising integrable systems.
In this contribution, we discuss three situations in which complete integrability of a three dimensional classical system and its quantum version can be achieved under some conditions. The former is a system with axial symmetry. In the second, we discuss a three dimensional system without spatial symmetry which admits separation of variables if we use ellipsoidal coordinates. In both cases, and as a condition for integrability, certain conditions arise in the integrals of motion. Finally, we study integrability in the three dimensional sphere and a particular case associated with the Kepler problem in $S^3$.
The Laplacian growth (the Hele-Shaw problem) of multi-connected domains in the case of zero surface tension is proven to be equivalent to an integrable systems of Whitham equations known in soliton theory. The Whitham equations describe slowly modulated periodic solutions of integrable hierarchies of nonlinear differential equations. Through this connection the Laplacian growth is understood as a flow in the moduli space of Riemann surfaces.
Growth-induced pattern formations in curved film-substrate structures have attracted extensive attentions recently. In most existing literature, the growth tensor is assumed to be homogeneous or piecewise homogeneous. In this paper, we aim at clarifying the influence of a growth gradient on pattern formation and pattern evolution in bilayered tubular tissues under plane-strain deformation. In the framework of finite elasticity, a bifurcation condition is derived for a general material model and a generic growth function. Then we suppose that both layers are composed of neo-Hookean materials. In particular, the growth function is assumed to decay linearly from the inner surface or from the outer surface. It is found that a gradient in the growth has a weak effect on the critical state, compared to the homogeneous growth type where both layers share the same growth factor. Furthermore, a finite element model is built to validate the theoretical model and to investigate the post-buckling behaviors. It is found that the associated pattern transition is not controlled by the growth gradient but by the ratio of the shear modulus between two layers. Different morphologies can occur when the modulus ratio is varied. The current analysis could provide useful insight into the influence of a growth gradient on surface instabilities and suggests that a homogeneous growth field may provide a good approximation on interpreting complicated morphological formations in multiple systems.
