Method of the inverse scattering problem with spectral parameter on an algebraic curve (Q1078427)

The authors have tried to construct examples of nonlinear integrable equations for which the representation of zero curvature \(u_ t-u_ x+[u,v]=0\) exists with spectral parameters on an arbitrary algebraic curve (specifically on hyperelliptic curves). It is shown that the transfer of the spectral parameter to curves of genus \(g\geq 1\) is associated with serious difficulties whose nature is clarified by the Riemann-Roch theorem. Therefore the authors are still unable to get new equations that have specific physical applications and do not give explicit expressions for the final equations which arise in this way.
