In the smallest example - rank 2 toroidal cover of $sl_2$ - we obtain an extension of the KdV hierarchy. We use the action of the corresponding infinite-dimensional group to construct solutions for these non-linear PDEs.22 pages, plain tex, no figuresExactly Solvable and Integrable SystemsAn Extension of the KdV Hierarchy Arising from a Representation of a Toroidal Lie Algebratext
