Genus-zero Whitham hierarchies in conformal-map dynamics

Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

A scheme for solving quasiclassical string equations is developped to prove that genus-zero Whitham hierarchies describe the deformations of planar domains determined by rational conformal maps. This property is applied in normal matrix models to show that deformations of simply-connected supports of eigenvalues under changes of coupling constants are governed by genus-zero Whitham hierarchies.
