Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0733.00016.] The motivation of the results of this paper stems from the theory of completely integrable evolution equations and their relations with the theory of affine Lie algebras. From their representation theory it is known that each conjugacy class of maximal Heisenberg algebras gives a construction of the basic module and in addition a hierarchy of integrable equations in Hirota bilinear form. These equations have Riemann surfaces attached to them in a canonical fashion. This paper describes the relation of the Heisenberg subalgebras in \(A_ n^{(1)}\) and the geometry of branched covers of \(P^ 1\) by Riemann surfaces. The main tool is the use of infinite Grassmannians.
