Abstract
KdV equation is a nonlinear diferential equation
describing motion of shallow water waves. Since 1967's great discovery by Gardner-Greene-Kruskal-Miura(GGKM) this equation has been intensively investigated by mathematicians. The main interests have been in a certain class of initials data such as decaying or periodic ones. Recently people began to study more general solutions like solutions starting from random initial data, which might give a cloud of solitons. This talk is about the first step of this program. Some subjects related to ergodic Schrödinger operators will be mentioned in the talk.
