Fibration of the phase space for the Korteweg-de Vries equation.(English)Zbl 0731.58033

We prove that the fibration of $$L^ 2(S^ 1)$$ by potentials which are isospectral for the 1-dimensional periodic Schrödinger equation, is trivial. This result can be applied, in particular, to N-gap solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries equation (KdV) on the circle: one shows that KdV, a completely integrable Hamiltonian system, has global action-angle variables.
