An hbar-expansion of the Toda hierarchy: a recursive construction of solutions
A construction of general solutions of the \hbar-dependent Toda hierarchy is
presented. The construction is based on a Riemann-Hilbert problem for the pairs
(L,M) and (\bar L,\bar M) of Lax and Orlov-Schulman operators. This
Riemann-Hilbert problem is translated to the language of the dressing operators
W and \bar W. The dressing operators are set in an exponential form as W =
e^{X/\hbar} and \bar W = e^{\phi/\hbar}e^{\bar X/\hbar}, and the auxiliary
operators X,\bar X and the function \phi are assumed to have \hbar-expansions X
= X_0 + \hbar X_1 + ..., \bar X = \bar X_0 + \hbar\bar X_1 + ... and \phi =
\phi_0 + \hbar\phi_1 + .... The coefficients of these expansions turn out to
satisfy a set of recursion relations. X,\bar X and \phi are recursively
determined by these relations. Moreover, the associated wave functions are
shown to have the WKB form \Psi = e^{S/\hbar} and \bar\Psi = e^{\bar S/\hbar},
which leads to an \hbar-expansion of the logarithm of the tau function.Comment: 37 pages, no figures. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with

Kernel Formula Approach to the Universal Whitham Hierarchy
We derive the dispersionless Hirota equations of the universal Whitham
hierarchy from the kernel formula approach proposed by Carroll and Kodama.
Besides, we also verify the associativity equations in this hierarchy from the
dispersionless Hirota equations and give a realization of the associative
algebra with structure constants expressed in terms of the residue formulas.Comment: 18 page
-analogue of modified KP hierarchy and its quasi-classical limit
A -analogue of the tau function of the modified KP hierarchy is defined by
a change of independent variables. This tau function satisfies a system of
bilinear -difference equations. These bilinear equations are translated to
the language of wave functions, which turn out to satisfy a system of linear
-difference equations. These linear -difference equations are used to
formulate the Lax formalism and the description of quasi-classical limit. These
results can be generalized to a -analogue of the Toda hierarchy. The results
on the -analogue of the Toda hierarchy might have an application to the
random partition calculus in gauge theories and topological strings.Comment: latex2e, a4 paper 15 pages, no figure; (v2) a few references are

Dispersionless scalar integrable hierarchies, Whitham hierarchy and the quasi-classical dbar-dressing method
The quasi-classical limit of the scalar nonlocal dbar-problem is derived and
a quasi-classical version of the dbar-dressing method is presented.
Dispersionless KP, mKP and 2DTL hierarchies are discussed as illustrative
examples. It is shown that the universal Whitham hierarchy it is nothing but
the ring of symmetries for the quasi-classical dbar-problem. The reduction
problem is discussed and, in particular, the d2DTL equation of B type is
derived.Comment: LaTex file,19 page
Toda Lattice Hierarchy and Generalized String Equations
String equations of the -th generalized Kontsevich model and the
compactified string theory are re-examined in the language of the Toda
lattice hierarchy. As opposed to a hypothesis postulated in the literature, the
generalized Kontsevich model at does not coincide with the
string theory at self-dual radius. A broader family of solutions of the Toda
lattice hierarchy including these models are constructed, and shown to satisfy
generalized string equations. The status of a variety of string
models is discussed in this new framework.Comment: 35pages, LaTeX Errors are corrected in Eqs. (2.21), (2.36), (2.33),

Integrable Structure of the Dirichlet Boundary Problem in Multiply-Connected Domains
We study the integrable structure of the Dirichlet boundary problem in two
dimensions and extend the approach to the case of planar multiply-connected
domains. The solution to the Dirichlet boundary problem in multiply-connected
case is given through a quasiclassical tau-function, which generalizes the
tau-function of the dispersionless Toda hierarchy. It is shown to obey an
infinite hierarchy of Hirota-like equations which directly follow from
properties of the Dirichlet Green function and from the Fay identities. The
relation to multi-support solutions of matrix models is briefly discussed.Comment: 41 pages, 5 figures, LaTeX; some revision of exposition, misprints

hbar-Dependent KP hierarchy
This is a summary of a recursive construction of solutions of the
hbar-dependent KP hierarchy. We give recursion relations for the coefficients
X_n of an hbar-expansion of the operator X = X_0 + \hbar X_1 + \hbar^2 X_2 +
... for which the dressing operator W is expressed in the exponential form W =
\exp(X/\hbar). The asymptotic behaviours of (the logarithm of) the wave
function and the tau function are also considered.Comment: 12 pages, contribution to the Proceedings of the "International
