Abstract

We show that the τ-functions obtained from Schur polynomials lead to wave functions w(x1, x2, ... ; k) that possess the following bispectral property: There exists a differential operator B{k,∂k}, independent of x1, such that B{k,∂k}w = Θ {x1}w, where {x1} is independent of k. This extends for the KP hierarchy some earlier results of J. J. Duistermaat and F. A. Grünbaum for the rational solutions of KdV and of P. Wright for certain rational solutions of the generalized KdV equations.
