2D Toda Chain, Commuting Difference Operators and Holomorphic Bundles
High rank solutions to the 2D Toda Lattice System are constructed simultaneously with the effective calculation of coefficients of the high rank commuting ordinary difference operators. Our technic is based on the study of discrete dynamics of Tyurin Parameters characterizing the stable holomorphic vector bundles over the algebraic curves (Riemann Surfaces).

Seiberg-Witten Theory, Symplectic Forms, and Hamiltonian Theory of Solitons
This is an expanded version of lectures given in Hangzhou and Beijing, on the symplectic forms common to Seiberg-Witten theory and the theory of solitons. Methods for evaluating the prepotential are discussed. The construction of new integrable models arising from supersymmetric gauge theories are reviewed, including twisted Calogero-Moser systems and spin chain models with twisted monodromy conditions. A practical framework is presented for evaluating the universal symplectic form in terms of Lax pairs. A subtle distinction between a Lie algebra and a Lie group version of this symplectic form is clarified, which is necessary in chain models.

Spin Chains with Twisted Monodromy
The integrable model corresponding to the ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory with matter in the symmetric representation is constructed. It is a spin chain model, whose key feature is a new twisted monodromy condition.

Holomorphic bundles and Scalar Difference Operators: One-Point Constructions
Commutative rings of one-dimensional difference operators of rank l>1 and their deformations are effectively constructed. Our analytical constructions are based on the so-called ''Tyurin parameters'' for the stable framed holomorphic vector bundles over algebraic curves of the genus equal to g and Chern number equal to lg. These parameters were heavily used by the present authors already in 1978-80 for the differential operators. Their deformations in the discrete case are governed by the 2D Toda Lattice hierarhy instead of KP. New integrable systems appear here in the case l=2,g=1. The theory of higher rank difference operators is much more rich than the rank one case where only 2-point constructions on the spectral curve were used in the previous literature (i.e. number of 'infinite points'' is equal to 2). One-point constructions appear in this problem for every even rank l=2k. Only in this case commutative rings depend on the functional parameters. Two-point constructions will be studied in the next work: even for higher rank l>1 this case can be solved in Theta-functions. It is not so for one-point constructions with rank l>1.

Elliptic analog of the Toda lattice
The action-angle variables for N-particle Hamiltonian system with the Hamiltonian $H=\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} \ln sh^{-2}(p_n/2)+\ln(\wp(x_n-x_{n+1})- \wp(x_n+x_{n+1})), x_N=x_0,$ are constructed, and the system is solved in terms of the Riemann $θ$-functions. It is shown that this system describes pole dynamics of the elliptic solutions of 2D Toda lattice corresponding to spectral curves defined by the equation $w^2-P_{N}^{el}(z)w+Λ^{2N}=0$, where $P_{N}^{el}(z)$ is an elliptic function with pole of order N at the point z=0.

Discrete analogs of the Darboux-Egoroff metrics
Discrete analogs of the Darboux-Egoroff metrics are considered. It is shown that the corresponding lattices in the Euclidean space are described by discrete analogs of the Lame equations. It is proved that up to a gauge transformation these equations are necessary and sufficient for discrete analogs of rotation coefficients to exist. Explicit examples of the Darboux-Egoroff lattices are constructed by means of algebro-geometric methods.

Elliptic solutions to difference non-linear equations and nested Bethe ansatz equations
We outline an approach to a theory of various generalizations of the elliptic Calogero-Moser (CM) and Ruijsenaars-Shneider (RS) systems based on a special inverse problem for linear operators with elliptic coefficients. Hamiltonian theory of such systems is developed with the help of the universal symplectic structure proposed by D.H. Phong and the author. Canonically conjugated action-angle variables for spin generalizations of the elliptic CM and RS systems are found.

Symplectic forms in the theory of solitons
We develop a Hamiltonian theory for 2D soliton equations. In particular, we identify the spaces of doubly periodic operators on which a full hierarchy of commuting flows can be introduced, and show that these flows are Hamiltonian with respect to a universal symplectic form $ω={1\over 2}\r_{\infty} <Ψ_0^*δL\wedgeδΨ_0>\d k$. We also construct other higher order symplectic forms and compare our formalism with the case of 1D solitons. Restricted to spaces of finite-gap solitons, the universal symplectic form agrees with the symplectic forms which have recently appeared in non-linear WKB theory, topological field theory, and Seiberg-Witten theories. We take the opportunity to survey some developments in these areas where symplectic forms have played a major role.

Solitons in high-energy QCD
We study the asymptotic solutions of the Schrödinger equation for the color-singlet reggeon compound states in multi-color QCD. We show that in the leading order of asymptotic expansion, quasiclassical reggeon trajectories have a form of the soliton waves propagating on the 2-dimensional plane of transverse coordinates. Applying methods of the finite-gap theory we construct their explicit form in terms of Riemann theta-functions and examine their properties.

The Renormalization Group Equation in N=2 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
We clarify the mass dependence of the effective prepotential in N=2 supersymmetric SU(N_c) gauge theories with an arbitrary number N_f<2N_c of flavors. The resulting differential equation for the prepotential extends the equations obtained previously for SU(2) and for zero masses. It can be viewed as an exact renormalization group equation for the prepotential, with the beta function given by a modular form. We derive an explicit formula for this modular form when N_f=0, and verify the equation to 2-instanton order in the weak-coupling regime for arbitrary N_f and N_c.

The Effective Prepotential of N=2 Supersymmetric SO(N_c) and Sp(N_c) Gauge Theories
We calculate the effective prepotentials for N=2 supersymmetric SO(N_c) and Sp(N_c) gauge theories, with an arbitrary number of hypermultiplets in the defining representation, from restrictions of the prepotentials for suitable N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories with unitary gauge groups. (This extends previous work in which the prepotential for N=2 supersymmetric SU(N_c) gauge theories was evaluated from the exact solution constructed out of spectral curves.) The prepotentials have to all orders the logarithmic singularities of the one-loop perturbative corrections, as expected from non-renormalization theorems. We evaluate explicitly the contributions of one- and two-instanton processes.

The Effective Prepotential of N=2 Supersymmetric SU(N_c) Gauge Theories
We determine the effective prepotential for N=2 supersymmetric SU(N_c) gauge theories with an arbitrary number of flavors N_f < 2N_c, from the exact solution constructed out of spectral curves. The prepotential is the same for the several models of spectral curves proposed in the literature. It has to all orders the logarithmic singularities of the one-loop perturbative corrections, thus confirming the non-renormalization theorems from supersymmetry. In particular, the renormalized order parameters and their duals have all the correct monodromy transformations prescribed at weak coupling. We evaluate explicitly the contributions of one- and two-instanton processes.

On the integrable geometry of soliton equations and N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories
We provide a unified construction of the symplectic forms which arise in the solution of both N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories and soliton equations. Their phase spaces are Jacobian-type bundles over the leaves of a foliation in a universal configuration space. On one hand, imbedded into finite-gap solutions of soliton equations, these symplectic forms assume explicit expressions in terms of the auxiliary Lax pair, expressions which generalize the well-known Gardner-Faddeev-Zakharov bracket for KdV to a vast class of 2D integrable models; on the other hand, they determine completely the effective Lagrangian and BPS spectrum when the leaves are identified with the moduli space of vacua of an N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory. For SU($N_c$) with $N_f\leq N_c+1$ flavors, the spectral curves we obtain this way agree with the ones derived by Hanany and Oz and others from physical considerations.
