Abstract

We study algebro-geometric (finite-gap) and elliptic solutions of fully discretized KP or 2D Toda equations. In bilinear form they are Hirota's difference equation for -functions. Starting from a given algebraic curve, we express the -function and the Baker-Akhiezer function in terms of the Riemann theta function. We show that the elliptic solutions, when the -function is an elliptic polynomial, form a subclass of the general algebro-geometric solutions. We construct the algebraic curves of the elliptic solutions. The evolution of zeros of the elliptic solutions is governed by the discrete time generalization of the Ruijsenaars-Schneider many body system. The zeros obey equations which have the form of nested Bethe-Ansatz equations, known from integrable quantum field theories. We discuss the Lax representation and the action-angle-type variables for the many body system. We also discuss elliptic solutions to discrete analogues of KdV, sine-Gordon and 1D Toda equations and describe the loci of the zeros.
