Therefore, the Fourier transform,

induces an algebra isomorphism, mapping D-operators onto a special class
of -operators in the shift :=

conversely, any dierence operator, depending on x, of the type (0.3) i.e.,
annihilated by D Ad
, where (Ad
)a = a

, maps into a D-operator.
This is the crucial basic isomorphism used throughout this paper.
To the shift and to a xed diagonal matrix = diag(

associate new operators

we now make a statement concerning the so-called one-Toda lattice; the latter
describes deformations of of a bi-innite matrix L, which is lower-triangular,
except for 1s just above the main diagonal. The rst formula (0.6) below
gives a solution to the Frenkel system (Theorem 0.1), upon replacing
by ,
which amounts to conjugating L by a constant diagonal matrix ; see (2.2).
The second formula (0.6) gives, via the isomorphism (0.3), a solution to the
KLR system (Theorem 0.2). Thus in the L-representation the two systems
are related by a trivial diagonal conjugation. Note, Theorem 0.1 is given for
arbitrary = (...,

for k 1. These expressions for k 0 will be given in (3.4) and (3.5).
In view of (0.7), the shift

corresponds to the following transformation,
: c c [

. (0.8)
Therefore, in order that L
N
satises the form of the right hand side of (0.3),
we must make c and
i
depend on x and q, such that the map on a, b,
corresponds to D, in addition to the fact that all
i
must tend to simul-
taneously and c to (x, 0, 0, ...), when q goes to 1. So, c(x) and (x) must
satisfy:
_

Dc(x) = c(x) [

and c(x) =

,
(0.10)
and thus D

]. With this choice of
n
,

(q 1)x
D
and D

:=
D 1
(q 1)x
. (0.11)
In analogy with (0.4), we dene the simple q-vertex operators:
X
q
(x, t, z) := e
xz
q
X(t, z) and
X
q
(x, t, z) :=

in terms of (0.4) and the q-exponential e

. Therefore under
the isomorphism (0.3), Theorem 0.1 can be translated into q-language, to
read:
Theorem 0.2. Any KdV -function leads to a q-KdV -function (c(x)+t);
the latter satises the bilinear relations below, for all x R, t, t
, and
all n > m, which tends to the standard KP-bilinear identity, when q goes to

z=

M.A. and PvM thank Edward Frenkel for kindly discussing this problem
during spring 1996. For a systematic study of discrete systems, see Kupersh-
midt [13] and Gieseker [8]. It is an old observation (see [11]) that the Toda
lattice discretizes the KdV equation, and this in many dierent ways. There-
fore it is not surprising that q-KdV is yet another Toda discretization of KdV.
In an elegant recent preprint, Iliev [10] has obtained q-bilinear identities and
q-tau functions, as well, purely within the KP theory.

The expression (1.4) for (t) follows from equating the z

equivalence (ii) (iii) follows from a straight forward computation using
the -function representation (1.2) of (ii) and the expression for (t).
2 The one-Toda lattice
For details on this sketchy exposition, see [3]. The one-Toda lattice equations
L
t
n

are deformations of an innite matrix
L =

, with
:= =

, (2.2)
for diagonal matrices and , with non-zero entries, and diagonal matrices a
i
,
depending on t = (t
1
, t
2
, . . .). Note the conjugation by the constant diagonal
matrix is harmless, but it is necessary to capture the KLR-system. One
introduces wave and adjoint wave vectors (t, z) and

Note that the plane z

n+1
(t)
n+1
(t [z

])
n
(t)) = 0
(2.11)
Proof: The proof that (i) is equivalent to (ii) follows from the methods in
[4, 16]. That (ii) is equivalent to (iii) follows from the representation (2.4) of
wave functions in terms of -functions. Finally, we sketch the proof that (ii)
is equivalent to (iv). The inclusion in (iv) implies that W
n
, given by (2.6), is
also given by
W
n
= span
C
{
n
(t, z),
n+1
(t, z), ...};
Since each
n
is a -function, we have that
_
z=
n
(t, z)
n1
(t
, z)
dz
2iz
= 0,
implying that, for each n Z,
n1
(t, z) W
n
. Moreover the inclusions
... W
n
W

... imply, by orthogonality, the inclusions ... W
n
W
n+1
..., and thus
W
n
= {
n1
(t, z),

11
Since
W

we have the orthogonality W
n
W
m
by the residue pairing (2.7) for all n m,
i.e.,
_
z=

(t, z)
m1
(t

dz
2iz
= 0, all n m.
Note (ii) implies W
m
W
n
, n > m, hence W
n
W
m
, n > m, yielding
(iv). That (iv)(v) follows from proposition 1.1, by setting
1

and
2

. Then (v) is equivalent to the inclusion property
z(z

thus ending the proof of proposition 2.1.

(t)

= 0,
using the dierential Fay identity (1.1) for the -function
1
; a similar proof
works for the second solution, given by (3.2).
Proof of Theorems 0.1 and 0.2: From an arbitrary N-KdV -function,
construct, for , c, C

(t) = (c + t)
n

(3.3)
and so, each
n
is dened inductively by
n+1
= X(t,

n
;
thus by Lemma 3.1, the functions
n+1
and
n
are a solution of equation (v)
of proposition 2.1. Therefore, by the same proposition 2.1, the
n
s form a
-vector of the 1-Toda lattice. By removing the harmless exponential factor
n

exp(

The function

When q 1, the second expression above tends to the standard KP-bilinear
equation, upon using (0.10). Moreover, one checks by induction, using the
expression (2.5) for L and (3.3), that (L
N
)
+
for N = 1, 2, 3, ... has the q-form
(0.3). Also, note that a
k
and b
k
can be expressed in terms of the D-operator,
using (0.7); to wit:
b
k
=
t
1
log
(D

(D

, a
k
=

_

log

_
.
So, the expression for Q
N
q
in Theorem 0.2 follows at once from (3.6). The
fact that
t

log
(D
j+1

(D

2
log ( x + t)
implies that all terms in (0.14) vanish in the limit q 1, except for the
term

i=0

t

log (D
i
c + t); so we have that

thus ending the proof of theorem 0.2.
4 Examples and vertex operators
The isomorphism (0.3) enables one to translate every 1-Toda statement, hav-
ing the form (0.3) into a D or D
q
statement. Also every -function of the
KdV hierarchy leads automatically to a solution of q-KdV. For instance, by
replacing t c(x) +t in the Schur polynomials, one nds q-Schur polynomi-
als. The latter were obtained by Haine and Iliev [9] by using the q-Darboux
transforms; the latter had been studied by Horozov and coworkers in [5, 6].
The n-soliton solution to the KdV (for N = 2) (for this formulation, see
[4]),
(t) = det

leads to a q-soliton by the shift t c(x) + t, with c(x) as in (0.8), namely
(x, t) = det

Moreover the vertex operator for the 1-Toda lattice is a reduction of the
2-Toda lattice vertex operator (see [2]), given by
X(t, y, z) =
1
t

(y

z

e

in particular, if is a 1-Toda vector, then a +bX(t, y, z) is a 1-Toda vector
as well. Using the dictionary, this leads to q-vertex operators
