Lax equation representation of certain completely integrable systems. (English) Zbl 0662.58018
From the author’s introduction: “In this paper we present a 1-parameter family $$(A(z),B(z))$$ of $$2\times 2$$ Lax representations for the case of an algebraically completely integrable system whose Liouville tori are isogenous to Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves in Weierstrass form. We then apply the technique to the Kovalevskaya top.”
