    Abstract

    The Grassmann manifold approach to the KP hierarchy, in the spirit of Segal and Wilson, is used to define the wavefunction ψW and its adjoint ψW⊥. From the fact that ψW and ψW⊥ are the orthogonal, we derive the bilinear equations. The modified equations are treated at the same time
