A classical way to introduce tau functions for integrable hierarchies of solitonic equations is by means of the Sato-Segal-Wilson infinite-dimensional Grassmannian. Every point in the Grassmannian is naturally related to a Riemann-Hilbert…
We construct quasi-periodic solutions of the universal hierarchy which includes the multi-component KP and Toda hierarchies and show how they fit into the bilinear formalism. The tau-function is expressed in terms of the Riemann…
For a class of generalized integrable hierarchies associated with affine (twisted or untwisted) Kac-Moody algebras, an explicit representation of their local conserved densities by means of a single scalar tau-function is deduced. This…
Blending Painlev\'e property with singularity confinement for a general arbitrary order Sawada-Kotera differential-difference equation, we find a proliferation of ``tau-functions'' (coming from strictly confined patterns). However only one…
This paper begins investigation of the concept of ``generalized $\tau$-function'', defined as a generating function of all the matrix elements of a group element $g \in G$ in a given highest-weight representation of a universal enveloping…
In this paper, we mainly study the additional symmetry and $\tau$ functions of a multi-component Gelfand-Dickey hierarchy which includes many classical integrable systems, such as the multi-component KdV hierarchy and the multi-component…
Lattices of polynomial KP and BKP $\tau$-functions labelled by partitions, with the flow variables equated to finite power sums, as well as associated multipair KP and multipoint BKP correlation functions are expressed via generalizations…
Adler, Shiota and van Moerbeke observed that a tau function of the Pfaff lattice is a square root of a tau function of the Toda lattice hierarchy of Ueno and Takasaki. In this paper we give a representation theoretical explanation for this…
We find all polynomial tau-functions of the n-th reduced BKP hierarchy (=n-th Sawada-Kotera hierarchy). The name comes from the fact that for n=3 the simplest equation of the hierarchy is the famous Sawada-Kotera equation.
We prove that the tau-function of the integrable discrete sine-Gordon model apart from the "standard" bilinar identities obeys a number of "non-standard" ones. They can be combined into a bivector 3-dimensional difference equation which is…
For a tau-function of the KP or BKP hierarchy, we introduce the notion of lifting operator and derive an equation connecting the corresponding fermionic two-point function and fermionic one-point function through the lifting operator. This…
In this paper, we prove the existence of tau functions of the discrete modified KP hierarchy and define the squared eigenfunction symmetry. Meanwhile, the Fay identity with its difference form, the squared eigenfunction potentials and the…
The universal Witham hierarchy is considered from the point of view of topological field theories. The $\tau$-function for this hierarchy is defined. It is proved that the algebraic orbits of Whitham hierarchy can be identified with various…
There is now a renewed interest to the Hurwitz tau-function, counting the isomorphism classes of Belyi pairs, arising in the study of equilateral triangulations and Grothiendicks's dessins d'enfant. It is distinguished by belonging to a…
In this note, we prove that any tau-function of the KdV hierarchy also solves the BKP hierarchy after a simple rescaling of times.
Classically, a single weight on an interval of the real line leads to moments, orthogonal polynomials and tridiagonal matrices. Appropriately deforming this weight with times t=(t_1,t_2,...), leads to the standard Toda lattice and…
A construction of general solutions of the \hbar-dependent Toda hierarchy is presented. The construction is based on a Riemann-Hilbert problem for the pairs (L,M) and (\bar L,\bar M) of Lax and Orlov-Schulman operators. This Riemann-Hilbert…
The intermediate long wave (ILW) hierarchy and its generalization, labelled by a positive integer $N$, can be formulated as reductions of the lattice KP hierarchy. The integrability of the lattice KP hierarchy is inherited by these reduced…
The \hbar-dependent KP hierarchy is a formulation of the KP hierarchy that depends on the Planck constant \hbar and reduces to the dispersionless KP hierarchy as \hbar -> 0. A recursive construction of its solutions on the basis of a…
To every partition $n=n_1+n_2+\cdots+n_s$ one can associate a vertex operator realization of the Lie algebras $a_{\infty}$ and $\hat{gl}_n$. Using this construction we obtain reductions of the $s$--component KP hierarchy, reductions which…
