Abstract
In several branches of mathematical physics one comes across the Fredholm determinant of the kernel $\sin (x-y)\pi/(x-y)\pi$ on the finite interval ( -t,t). Jimbo, Miwa, Mori and Sato derived a non-linear differential equation for it. We reinvestigate this problem, find five equations satisfied by three functions A(t), B(t) and S(t) related to this Fredholm determinant, and as a consequence deduce the differential equation of Jimbo, Miwa, Mori and Sato.
