We introduce the notion of abelian solutions of the 2D Toda lattice equations and the bilinear discrete Hirota equation and show that all of them are algebro-geometric.
IntroductionThe first goal of this paper to extend a theory of the abelian solutions of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation developed recently in [23] to the case of the 2D Toda latticeWe call a solution ϕ n (ξ, η) of the equation abelian if it is of the form ϕ n (ξ, η) = ln τ ((n + 1)U + z, ξ, η) τ (nU + z, ξ, η) ,( 1.2) where n ∈ Z, ξ, η ∈ C and z ∈ C d are the independent variables, 0 = U ∈ C d , and for all ξ, η the function τ (·, ξ, η) is a holomorphic section of a line bundle L = L(ξ, η) on an abelian variety X = C d /Λ, i.e., it satisfies the monodromy relationsA concept of abelian solutions of soliton equations provides an unifying framework for the theory of elliptic solutions of soliton equations and the theory of their rank 1 algebrogeometric solutions. The former corresponds to the case when the τ -function is a section of
