[For the entire collection see Zbl 0747.00041.] This paper suggests a new model of phase space, called Poisson-Nijenhuis manifold, emerging from the study of a large class of integrable systems with an infinite-number of degrees of freedom, the so-called equations solvable by the inverse scattering transform. The model is characterized by the introduction of a suitable pair of tensor fields on the phase space. Roughly speaking, the first one (a Poisson tensor field) allows us to introduce the concept of Hamiltonian vector field, the second one (a Nijenhuis tensor field) allows to perform its integration. Our aim is to use the geometrical insight, which it provides, to give a sound theoretical explanation of certain algorithmic computations, often used in the IST theory without a sufficient motivation.
