Tau function (integrable systems)
ID: tau-function-integrable-systems
The Tau function is an important concept in the study of integrable systems, particularly in the context of algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, and soliton theory. It serves as a generating function that encodes information about the solutions to certain integrable equations, such as the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, the sine-Gordon equation, or the Toda lattice.
