Dans cet article on démontre que la fibration de L 2 (S 1 ) par des potentiels isospectraux pour l’équation de Schrödinger périodique à une dimension est triviale. Ce résultat peut être appliqué aux solutions de N lacunes de l’équation de Korteweg-de Vries (KDV) sur le cercle : on en déduit que KdV — un système hamiltonien complètement intégrable — a des variables action-angle globales.

In this article we prove that the fibration of L 2 (S 1 ) by potentials which are isospectral for the 1-dimensional periodic Schrödinger equation, is trivial. This result can be applied, in particular, to N-gap solutions of the Korteweg-de Vries equation (KdV) on the circle: one shows that KdV, a completely integrable Hamiltonian system, has global action-angle variables.
