The search for partial differential systems in four independent variables ((3+1)D for short) that are integrable in the sense of soliton theory a.k.a. exactly solvable is a longstanding open problem of mathematical physics as according to general relativity our spacetime is four-dimensional, and thus the (3+1)D case is particularly relevant for applications.
This problem is addressed in a positive fashion in my recent article
A. Sergyeyev, New integrable (3+1)-dimensional systems and contact geometry, Lett. Math. Phys. 108 (2018), no. 2, 359-376 (arXiv:1401.2122)
where it is shown that integrable (3+1)D systems are significantly less exceptional than it appeared before: in addition to a handful of well-known important yet isolated examples like the (anti)self-dual Yang--Mills equations there is a large new class of integrable (3+1)D systems with Lax pairs of a novel kind related to contact geometry:
Please see the article for the explicit form of two infinite families of integrable (3+1)D systems from the above picture. For example, system (40) from the article in question is a new (and the only known to date) integrable generalization from three to four independent variables for the Khokhlov--Zabolotskaya equation, also known as the dispersionless Kadomtsev--Petviashvili equation or the Lin--Reissner--Tsien equation and having many applications in nonlinear acoustics and fluid dynamics.
Moreover, within the above new class of integrable (3+1)D systems we found what is, to the best of our knowledge, a first example of an integrable (3+1)D system with a nonisospectral Lax pair that involves algebraic, rather than merely rational, dependence on the spectral parameter. This result shows inter alia that the class of integrable (3+1)D dispersionless systems with nonisospectral Lax pairs is significantly more diverse than it appeared before. For further details please see the paper
