Abstract
Rational solutions to the KdV are constructed from the finite gap solutions of the KdV equation given in terms of abelian functions. For this we use a previous result giving the connection between Riemann theta functions and Fredholm determinants and also wronskians.
By choosing the parameters of these solutions according to a number intended to move towards zero, we obtain rational solutions when this number tends towards zero. So, we construct a hierarchy of rational solutions depending on multi real parameters and we give explicitly expressions for the first orders.
