[For the entire collection see Zbl 0733.00016.] The author's abstract: ``The Neumann system was shown by \textit{J. Moser} [Differential geometry, Proc. int. Chern. Symp., Berkeley 1979, 147-188 (1980; Zbl 0455.58018)] to be isospectral with respect to a rank 2 perturbation of a diagonal matrix. In 1982 we showed that the Neumann system is isospectral with respect to a perturbation of a nilpotent \(2\times 2\) matrix. In this paper Baker functions are used to derive these matrices and to relate their eigenfunctions. I. M. Krichever used Baker functions to exhibit a homomorphism from a commutative ring of differential operators into a ring of functions. Moser's matrix is derived in terms of a translation in the Jacobian Variety of the spectral curve and the \(2\times 2\) matrix is described using a rational extension of the Krichever homomorphism. The isospectral pair has three interesting geometric properties which are discussed below. They are related to the geometry of momentum mappings, to Moser's work on the geometry of quadrics and to the Lie algebraic Euler equations.''.
