We would like to thank Prof. E. Medina for carrying out the computer calculation of the coefficients in the second example of Section 4. B.K. is supported in part by COFIN 2000 “Sintesi” and L.M.A. by proyecto PB98-0821.It is shown that the dispersionless scalar integrable hierarchies and, in general, the universal hitham hierarchy are nothing but classes of integrable deformations of quasiconformal mappings on the plane. Examples of deformations of quasiconformal mappings associated with explicit solutions of the dispersionless KP hierarchy are presented.engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0375-9601(01)00395-4http://www.sciencedirect.comhttp://arxiv.org/abs/nlin/0103015open access51-73Rteweg-devries equationSmall dispersion limitConformal-mapsModelsFísica-Modelos matemáticosFísica matemática
