Tata Lectures on Theta II: Jacobian Theta Functions and Differential Equations

by David Mumford

The second in a series of three volumes that survey the theory of theta functions, this volume emphasizes the special properties of the theta functions associated with compact Riemann surfaces and how they lead to solutions of the Korteweg-de-Vries equations as well as other non-linear differential equations of mathematical physics.

It presents an explicit elementary construction of hyperelliptic Jacobian varieties and is a self-contained...
