A formal scheme of the inverse scattering method is constructed for the2 + 1 Toda chain in the class of rapidly decreasing Cauchy data. Application of the inverse scattering method to the two-dimensional infinite Toda chain was made difficult by the circumstance that this system is a (2 + 1)-dimensional object, i.e., possesses time and two spatial variables, the role of one of these being played by the chain site number. Because of this, our information about the 2 + 1 Toda chain was limited to a rich set of particular solutions of soliton type obtained in the cycle of studies by the Darboux transformation method.
