Polynomial tau functions of symplectic KP and multi-component symplectic KP hierarchies (Q2674367)

The authors study the multi-component symplectic KP hierarchy. In particular, they show that the polynomial tau-function of the symplectic KP hierarchy can be realised as a zero mode of a certain combinatorial generating function. This result is then extended to the multi-component symplectic KP hierarchy. Furthermore, the authors express the polynomial tau-function of the multi-component symplectic KP hierarchy as a determinant. Some Vandermonde-like identities are used for this purpose.
