Conformal maps and integrable hierarchies (Q5940505): Difference between revisions

Let \(D\) be simply connected domain in the complex \(z\)-plane bounded by a simple analytic curve \(\Gamma\). The authors show that conformal maps \(D\) onto unit disk \(G_1=\{x \mid|z|<1\}\) are given by a particular solution of the dispersionless 2D Toda hierarchy. They show that this solution obeys the string equation. Moreover they introduce a concept of the \(\tau\)-function for analytic curves.
