Feb 8, 2010 at 19:00 comment added kakaz As You are right, kdV has infinitely many conservation laws, it also is quasi-periodic motion! So probably it may be case of "infinite dimensional" tori, which obviously is not related to elliptic curves. I am physicist by education ( but not working as scientist, I treat math as fun and hobby), so kdV is something which is example of integrable system with nontrivial equations of motion.
Feb 8, 2010 at 17:19 comment added Justin Curry This is a great question, but I do want to point out that KdV is an infinite-dimensional integrable system, so I am not sure if the tori interpretation makes sense in this setting. In particular, KdV admits infinitely many conservation laws! Drazin and Johnson's "Solitons: an introduction" expands on this. I realize this has no real bearing on the question on hand.
