One Step Degeneration of Trigonal Curves and Mixing of Solitons and Quasi-Periodic Solutions of the KP Equation

Abstract

We consider certain degenerations of trigonal curves and hyperelliptic curves, which we call one step degeneration. We compute the limits of corresponding quasi-periodic solutions using the Sato Grassmannian. The mixing of solitons and quasi-periodic solutions is clearly visible in the obtained solutions.
