On the Dirichlet Boundary Problem and Hirota Equations

Abstract

We review the integrable structure of the Dirichlet boundary problem in two dimensions. The solution to the Dirichlet boundary problem for simply-connected case is given through a quasiclassical tau-function, which satisfies the Hirota equations of the dispersionless Toda hierarchy, following from properties of the Dirichlet Green function. We also outline a possible generalization to the case of multiply-connected domains related to the multi-support solutions of matrix models.
