In this paper, we show that as τ → √−1∞, any zero of the Lam´e function converges to either ∞ or a finite point p satisfying Rep = 1 2 and e2πip being an algebraic number. Our proof is based on studying a special family of simply-periodic KdV potentials with period 1, i.e. algebro-geometric simply-periodic solutions of the KdV hierarchy. We show that except the pole 0, all other poles of such KdV potentials locate on the line Rez = 1 2. We also compute explicitly the eigenvalue setofthecorresponding L2[0,1] eigenvalueproblemforsuchKdVpotentials, thus extends Takemura’s works [26, 27]. Our main idea is to apply the classification result for simply-periodic KdV potentials by Gesztesy, Unterkofler and Weikard [11] and the Darboux transformation.

In a symmetric space of noncompact type X = G=K oriented geodesic segments correspond modulo isometries to vectors in the Euclidean Weyl chamber. We can hence assign vector valued lengths to segments. Our main result is a system of homogeneous linear inequalities, which we call the generalized triangle inequalities or stability inequalities, describing the restrictions on the vector valued side lengths of oriented polygons. It is based on the mod 2 Schubert calculus in the real Grassmannians G=P for maximal parabolic subgroups P. The side lengths of polygons in Euclidean buildings are studied in the related paper [KLM2]. Applications of the geomet- ric results in both papers to algebraic group theory are given in[KLM3].
