β¦ Synopsis
We consider for fixed positive integers p and q which are coprime the space of all pairs (P , Q) of commuting matrix differential operators (of a fixed size n), where P is monic of order p and Q is normalized of order q. We use the vector valued Sato Grassmannian to construct a natural bijection to an affine subspace of the loop algebra gl(nq)((Ξ» -1 )). In the scalar case (n = 1) the KP flows on the Grassmannian, which are known to trace out Jacobians, lead to commuting flows on this affine space. These flows are Hamiltonian with respect to a family of Poisson structures which are obtained from a family of Lie brackets on the loop algebra.

We show that an algebraic operator on a complex Banach space has reflexive commutant if and only if each zero of the minimal polynomial of the operator is simple. Further, for any operator, the local commutant at an eigenvector is reflexive. On the other hand, for an algebraic operator whose minimal
