Virasoro and KdV

TLDR
In this paper, the structure of representations of the positive half of the Virasoro algebra and situations in which they decompose as a tensor product of Lie algebra representations are investigated.
Abstract
We investigate the structure of representations of the (positive half of the) Virasoro algebra and situations in which they decompose as a tensor product of Lie algebra representations. As an illustration, we apply these results to the differential operators defined by the Virasoro conjecture and obtain some factorization properties of the solutions as well as a link to the multicomponent KP hierarchy.

Soliton Equations as Dynamical Systems on Infinite Dimensional Grassmann Manifold

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors interpreted the time evolution of a solution as the dynamical motion of a point on a Grassmann manifold, and a generic solution corresponds to a generic point whose orbit (in the infinitely many time variables) is dense in the manifold, whereas degenerate solutions corresponding to points bound on those closed submanifolds that are stable under the time evolve describe the solutions to various specialized equations, such as KdV, Boussinesq, nonlinear Schrodinger, and sine-Gordon.

Invariants of algebraic curves and topological expansion

TL;DR: In this article, an infinite sequence of invariants for any algebraic curve is defined, which can be used to define a formal series, which satisfies formally an Hirota equation, and thus obtain a new way of constructing a tau function attached to an algebraic graph.
