    The \(\tau\)-function for analytic curves (English)
    0 references
    It is well-known from the theory of solitons, that solutions of an integrable hierarchy are represented by \(\tau\)-functions. The dispersionless limit of the \(\tau\)-functions emerges as a natural object associated with the curves. Here the authors review the concept of \(\tau\)-function for simple analytic curves and discuss its connection to the inverse potential problem, area preserving diffeomorphisms, the Dirichlet boundary value problem, and matrix models.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0967.00059].
