Abstract: In this article, we classify the solutions of the dispersionless Toda hierarchy into degenerate and non-degenerate cases. We show that every non-degenerate solution is determined by a function $mathcalH(z_1,z_2)$ of two variables. We interpret these non-degenerate solutions as defining evolutions on the space $mathfrakD$ of pairs of conformal mappings $(g,f)$, where $g$ is a univalent function on the exterior of the unit disc, $f$ is a univalent function on the unit disc, normalized such that $g(infty)=infty$, $f(0)=0$ and $f^{\prime }(0)g^{\prime }(infty)=1$. For each solution, we show how to define the natural time variables $$, as complex coordinates on the space $mathfrakD$. We also find explicit formulas for the tau function of the dispersionless Toda hierarchy in terms of $mathcalH(z_1,z_2)$. Imposing some conditions on the function $mathcalH(z_1,z_2)$, we show that the dispersionless Toda flows can be naturally restricted to the subspace $Sigma$ of $mathfrakD$ defined by $$. This recovers the result of Zabrodin.
