Review text

\textit{T. Shiota} [Invent. Math. 83, 333-382 (1986; Zbl 0626.35097)] proved the conjecture of Novikov which asserts that a principally polarized abelian variety is a Jacobian variety if the Riemann theta function satisfies the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (briefly, K-P) equations. In this paper, the authors shorten Shiota's proof from a geometrical view point. The geometrical interpretation of the criterion of the Jacobian varieties by using the K-P hierarchy is given by \textit{G. Welters} [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 120, 497-504 (1984; Zbl 0574.14027)]. The authors reduce the Novikov conjecture to the criterion of Welters of Jacobian varieties by using essentially Shiota's lemma.
