The double scaling limit method in the Toda hierarchy

Critical points of semiclassical expansions of solutions to the dispersionful Toda hierarchy are considered and a double scaling limit method of regularization is formulated. The analogues of the critical points characterized by the strong conditions in the Hermitian matrix model are analyzed and the property of doubling of equations is proved. A wide family of sets of critical points is introduced and the corresponding double scaling limit expansions are discussed.Comment: 20 page

The matrix realization of affine Jacobi varieties and the extended Lotka-Volterra lattice

We study completely integrable Hamiltonian systems whose monodromy matrices are related to the representatives for the set of gauge equivalence classes $\boldsymbol{\mathcal{M}}_F$ of polynomial matrices. Let $X$ be the algebraic curve given by the common characteristic equation for $\boldsymbol{\mathcal{M}}_F$. We construct the isomorphism from the set of representatives to an affine part of the Jacobi variety of $X$. This variety corresponds to the invariant manifold of the system, where the Hamiltonian flow is linearized. As the application, we discuss the algebraic completely integrability of the extended Lotka-Volterra lattice with a periodic boundary condition.Comment: Revised version, 26 page
