Structure and duality of \(\mathcal D\)-modules related to KP hierarchy (Q1184412)

The authors give a global vector field naturally defined over the universal Grassmannian manifold (UGM) of Sato [see \textit{M. Sato}, Proc. Symp. Pure Math. 49, Pt. 1, 51-66 (1989; Zbl 0688.58016)] and \textit{M. Sato} and \textit{Y. Sato} [Nonlinear partial differential equations in applied science, Proc. U.S.-Jap. Semin., Tokyo, 1982, North-Holland Math. Stud. 81, 259-271 (1983; Zbl 0528.58020)]. With this, the UGM becomes a differential-algebraic variety in the sense of Kolchin. The main results in the paper deal with cohomological properties (projectivity and duality) of some \({\mathcal D}\)-modules on UGM arising in the KP hiearchy (see loc. cit.). The paper also contains a differential-algebraic interpretation of the KP hierarchy.
