Abstract: In this article we characterize a certain class of rational solutions of the hierarchy of master symmetries for KdV. The result is that the generic rational potentials that decay at infinity and remain rational by all the flows of the master-symmetry KdV hierarchy are bispectral potentials for the Schrödinger operator. By bispectral potentials we mean that the corresponding Schrödinger operators possess families of eigenfunctions that are also eigenfunctions of a differential operator in the spectral variable. This complements certain results of Airault–McKean–Moser [4], Duistermaat–Grünbaum [10], and Magri–Zubelli [40]. As a consequence of bispectrality, the rational solutions of the master symmetries turn out to be solutions of a (generalized) string equation.
