The Abel-map linearization conjecture for reflectionless KdV potentials

Let E\mathsf{E} be the spectral set, let R(E)\mathcal{R}(\mathsf{E}) denote the reflectionless potentials with spectrum E\mathsf{E}, and let

B ⁣:R(E)D(E)\mathcal{B}\colon\mathcal{R}(\mathsf{E})\to\mathcal{D}(\mathsf{E})

be the divisor map. Let A ⁣:D(E)π1(Ω)\mathcal{A}\colon\mathcal{D}(\mathsf{E})\to\pi_1(\Omega)^* be the Abel map, and write α=A(B(V))={αk}k1\alpha=\mathcal{A}(\mathcal{B}(V))=\{\alpha_k\}_{k\geq1}. The Abel-map linearization conjecture. The composition map AB\mathcal{A}\circ\mathcal{B} linearizes shifts of a reflectionless potential in space and time: there exists η={ηk}k1\eta=\{\eta_k\}_{k\geq1} such that

A(B(V(x+x0)))={αkηkx0mod1}k1,\mathcal{A}(\mathcal{B}(V(x+x_0)))=\{\alpha_k-\eta_kx_0\bmod 1\}_{k\geq1},

and there exists η(1)={ηk(1)}k1\eta^{(1)}=\{\eta_k^{(1)}\}_{k\geq1} such that

A(B(u(x,t)))={αkηk(1)tmod1}k1,\mathcal{A}(\mathcal{B}(u(x,t)))=\{\alpha_k-\eta_k^{(1)}t\bmod 1\}_{k\geq1},

where u(x,t)u(x,t) is the KdV solution with u(x,0)=V(x)u(x,0)=V(x). This is part of the proposed inverse-spectral/KdV program; the supplied text does not establish its resolution.
