Résumé

We apply the general construction developed in our previous papers to the first nontrivial case of $\mathrm {Gr^{ \scriptscriptstyle TP}}(2,4)$. In particular, we construct finite-gap real quasi-periodic solutions of the KP-II equation in the form of a soliton lattice corresponding to a smooth $\mathtt M$-curve of genus $4$ which is a desingularization of a reducible rational $\mathtt M$-curve for soliton data in $\mathrm {Gr^{ \scriptscriptstyle TP}}(2,4)$.
