The solutions to the Ernst equation discussed in the previous chapters are given in terms of multi–dimensional theta functions. Though theta–functional solutions to integrable equations are known since the beginning of the seventies for equations like KdV, the work with these solutions admittedly has not reached the importance of solitons.
