An asymptotic expansion for Bloch functions on Riemann surfaces of infinite genus and almost periodicity of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili flow (Q1973261)

Asymptotic expansion of Bloch is applied to get the solution of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation with \(C^{10}\) real periodic initial data. The block functions are parametrized by the spectral variety of a heat equation with an external potential. To get the spectral variety the Riemann-Roch theorem for Riemann surfaces of infinite genus is used. KP flow is represented by a one-parameter-subgroup in the real part of the Jacobi variety of this Riemann surface. Compactness of the real part of the Jacobi variety yields the almost periodicity of the KP-I flow.
