KP solutions from tropical limits
Claudia Fevola (MPI Leipzig)
Abstract: The study of solutions to the The Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation yields interesting connections between integrable systems and algebraic curves. In this talk, I will discuss solutions to the KP equation whose underlying algebraic curves undergo tropical degenerations. In these cases, Riemann’s theta function becomes a finite exponential sum supported on a Delaunay polytope. I will introduce the Hirota variety which parametrizes KP solutions arising from such a sum. This talk is based on joint works with Daniele Agostini, Yelena Mandelshtam, and Bernd Sturmfels.
