Abstract

Using Picard--Lefschetz periods for the singularity of type ANA_N, we construct a projective representation of the Lie algebra of differential operators on the circle with central charge h:=N+1h:=N+1. We prove that the total descendant potential \DAN\D_{A_N} of ANA_N-singularity is a highest weight vector. It is known that \DAN\D_{A_N} can be interpreted as a generating function of a certain class of intersection numbers on the moduli space of hh-spin curves. In this settings our constraints provide a complete set of recursion relations between the intersection numbers. Our methods are based entirely on the symplectic loop space formalism of A. Givental and therefore they can be applied to the mirror models of symplectic manifolds.
