Significant emphasis is placed on the characterization of decomposable tensors of an exterior power of a free abelian group of possibly infinite rank, which then leads to the celebrated Hirota bilinear form of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy describing the Plücker embedding of an infinite-dimensional Grassmannian. By gathering ostensibly disparate issues together under a unified perspective, the book reveals how even the most advanced topics can be discovered at the elementary level.IMPA Monographs ;4Matrix theoryAlgebraDifferential equationsOperator theoryLinear and Multilinear Algebras, Matrix Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M11094Ordinary Differential Equationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12147Operator Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12139Matrix theory.Algebra.Differential equations.Operator theory.Linear and Multilinear Algebras, Matrix Theory.Ordinary Differential Equations.Operator Theory.512.5Gatto Letterioauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut374148Salehyan Parhamauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910254065303321Hasse-Schmidt Derivations on Grassmann Algebras2222461UNINA
