Vertex Operators of the KP hierarchy and Singular Algebraic Curves (2309.08850v1)

Abstract: Quasi-periodic solutions of the KP hierarchy acted by vertex operators are studied. We show, with the aid of the Sato Grassmannian, that solutions thus constructed correspond to torsion free rank one sheaves on some singular algebraic curves whose normalizations are the non-singular curves corresponding to the seed quasi-periodic solutions. It means that the action of the vertex operator has an effect of creating singular points on an algebraic curve. We further check, by examples, that solutions obtained here can be considered as solitons on quasi-periodic backgrounds, where the soliton matrices are deterimed by parameters in the vertex operators.
