Rational Ruijsenaars-Schneider hierarchy and bispectral difference operators (Q2370659)

The author shows that a monic polynomial in a discrete variable \(n\), with coefficients depending on the time variables \(t_{1}\), \(t_{2}\),\dots, is a \(\tau\)-function for the discrete Kadomtsev-Petriashvili hierarchy if and only if the motion of its zeros is governed by a hierarchy of Ruijsenaars-Schneider systems. These \(\tau\)-functions were considered by \textit{L. Haine} and \textit{P. Iliev} [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2000, No. 6, 281--323 (2000; Zbl 0984.37078)], where it was proved that they parametrize rank one solutions to a difference-differential version of the bispectral problem.
