Abstract
We consider multisoliton solutions of the matrix KdV equation. We obtain the formulas for changing phases and amplitudes during the interaction of two solitons and prove that no multiparticle effects appear during the multisoliton interaction. We find the conditions ensuring the symmetry of the corresponding solutions of the matrix KdV equation if they are constructed by the matrix Darboux transformation applied to the Schrödinger operator with zero potential.
