Abstract: 

In these two lectures I will try to give an elementary explanation of how one can get the representation of the general isomonodromic tau function on sphere withpunctures as the Fredholm determinant of certain operator with matrix-valued integral kernel. I'm going to show the free-fermionic construction of the isomonodromic taufunction, introduce generalized Wick theorem, and explain how to get the Fredholm determinant of our interest from the free-fermionic formulas. The second part will bedevoted to the study of such obtained Fredholm determinant. It will be rewritten in terms of some projection operators, as matrix Toeplitz determinant, and after alldifferentiated explicitly in order to reproduce the definition of the Jimbo-Miwa-Ueno tau function.References:
