Intertwining operators and Hirota bilinear equations (Q1920658): Difference between revisions

The authors gave an interpretation of the Hirota relations for the \(\tau\)-functions of hierarchies of integrable equations in terms of intertwining operators. The procedure of getting bilinear equations for the \(\tau\)-function is divided into two steps: to find some (commutative) algebra which bosonizes the representation and to find bilinear relations for the matrix elements of the representation. This interpretation gives the possibility of generalizing the relations to the case of finite-dimensional Lie algebras and quantized universal enveloping algebras.
