Abstract: We introduce a tropical analogue of Fay's trisecant identity for a special family of hyperelliptic tropical curves. We apply it to obtain the general solution of the ultra-discrete Toda lattice with periodic boundary conditions in terms of the tropical Riemann's theta function.

Review text

Fay's trisecant identity for Riemann's theta function, associated with an algebraic curve, was established in [\textit{J. D. Fay}, Theta functions on Riemann surfaces. Lecture Notes in Mathematics. 352. Berlin-Heidelberg-New York: Springer-Verlag (1973; Zbl 0281.30013)]. In the paper under review, the tropical version of this identity is established for certain special hyperelliptic tropical curves (and conjectured for an arbitrary tropical curve). In particular, the ultra-discrete periodic Toda lattice system \(T\) can be transformed into a special case of Fay's trisecant identity for a tropical spectral curve of \(T\), which allows the authors to obtain the general solution of \(T\) in terms of the corresponding tropical Riemann's theta function.
