Tau-functions, twistor theory, and quantum field theory

This article is concerned with obtaining the standard tau function descriptions of integrable equations (in particular, here the KdV and Ernst equations are considered) from the geometry of their twistor correspondences. In particular, we will see that the quantum field theoretic formulae for tau fu...
