Special functions | Generating functions | Partition functions | Integrable systems | Dynamical systems
Tau functions are an important ingredient in the modern theory of integrable systems, and have numerous applications in a variety of other domains. They were originally introduced by Ryogo Hirota in his direct method approach to soliton equations, based on expressing them in an equivalent bilinear form. The term Tau function, or -function, was first used systematically by Mikio Sato and his students in the specific context of the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (or KP) equation, and related integrable hierarchies. It is a central ingredient in the theory of solitons. Tau functions also appear as matrix model partition functions in the spectral theory of Random Matrices, and may also serve as generating functions, in the sense of combinatorics and enumerative geometry, especially in relation to moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces, and enumeration of branched coverings, or so-called Hurwitz numbers. In the Hamilton-Jacobi approach to Liouville integrable Hamiltonian systems, Hamilton's principal function, evaluated on the level surfaces of a complete set of Poisson commuting invariants, plays a rôle similar to the -function, serving both as a complete solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation and a canonical generating functionto linearizing coordinates. (Wikipedia).
Bertrand Eynard: Integrable systems and spectral curves
Usually one defines a Tau function Tau(t_1,t_2,...) as a function of a family of times having to obey some equations, like Miwa-Jimbo equations, or Hirota equations. Here we shall view times as local coordinates in the moduli-space of spectral curves, and define the Tau-function of a spect
