Multi-component universal character hierarchy and its polynomial tau-functions (Q2670238)

The aim of this paper is to consider more general polynomial tau functions than universal characters of the UC hierarchy in [\textit{T. Tsuda}, Commun. Math. Phys. 248, No. 3, 501--526 (2004; Zbl 1233.37042)] which can be treated as a zero-mode of a certain generating tau function and the method used here is also a little different from what Tsuda have done in the above paper about UC hierarchy. Also the author generalizes these results of UC hierarchy to a multicomponent UC hierarchy. He finds that the polynomial tau-function in terms of universal characters of the universal character(UC) hierarchy which can be treated as a zero mode of an appropriate combinatorial generating function. After that, he defines a multi-component UC hierarchy and obtains polynomial tau-functions of the multi-component UC hierarchy. The paper is organized as follows : the first section is an introduction to the subject and formulation of the main result. Section 2 is devoted to symmetric functions. Section 3 deals with universal character and universal character hierarchy. Section 4 is devoted to polynomial tau-functions of the UC hierarchy and Section 5 to polynomial \(\tau\)-functions of the \(s\)-component UC hierarchy.
