Using new explicit formulas for the stationary GW/PT descendent correspondence for nonsingular projective toric 3-folds, we show that the correspondence intertwines the Virasoro constraints in Gromov-Witten theory for stable maps with the…

We construct the ($\beta$-deformed) higher order total derivative operators and analyze their remarkable properties. In terms of these operators, we derive the higher order constraints for the ($\beta$-deformed) Hermitian matrix models. We…

Additional non-isospectral symmetries are formulated for the constrained Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (\cKP) integrable hierarchies. The problem of compatibility of additional symmetries with the underlying constraints is solved explicitly for…

We discuss the Curtright-Zachos (CZ) deformation of the Virasoro algebra and its extentions in terms of magnetic translation (MT) group in a discrete Bloch electron system, so-called the tight binding model (TBM), as well as in its…

This paper addresses the problem of improving properties of a linear operator u in $l_2^n$ by restricting it onto coordinate subspaces. We discuss how to reduce the norm of u by a random coordinate restriction, how to approximate u by a…

Virasoro constraints are applied to degree zero Gromov-Witten theory of weighted projective stacks $\mathbb{P}(1,N)$ and $\mathbb{P}(1,1,N)$ to obtain formulas of descendant cyclic Hurwitz-Hodge integrals in higher genera.

We reconsider the earlier found solutions of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) equations describing correlators based on the admissible representations of $A_1^{(1)}$. Exploiting a symmetry of the KZ equations we show that the original…

I present a short review of our results with S.Kharchev, A.Mironov, A.Morozov and A.Zabrodin on Generalized Kontsevich model which in a sense can be interpreted as unifying ``string field theory'' for $c < 1$ minimal series coupled to 2d…

Hurwitz numbers count branched covers of the sphere and have been of interest in various fields of mathematics. Motivated by the Matching-Jack conjecture of Goulden and Jackson, Chapuy and Do\l\k{e}ga recently introduced a notion of…

Contour dynamics is a classical subject both in physics and in complex analysis. We show that the dynamics provided by the L\"owner-Kufarev ODE and PDE possesses a rigid algebraic structure given by the Virasoro algebra. Namely, the…

The asymptotics of characters $\chi_{k\lambda}(\exp(h/k))$ of irreducible representations of a compact Lie group $G$ for large values of the scaling factor $k$ are given by Duistermaat-Heckman (DH) integrals over coadjoint orbits of $G$.…

We define cut-and-join operator in Hurwitz theory for merging of two branching points of arbitrary type. These operators have two alternative descriptions:(i) they have the GL characters as eigenfunctions and the symmetric-group characters…

There is now a renewed interest to the Hurwitz tau-function, counting the isomorphism classes of Belyi pairs, arising in the study of equilateral triangulations and Grothiendicks's dessins d'enfant. It is distinguished by belonging to a…

To every partition $n=n_1+n_2+\cdots+n_s$ one can associate a vertex operator realization of the Lie algebras $a_{\infty}$ and $\hat{gl}_n$. Using this construction we obtain reductions of the $s$--component KP hierarchy, reductions which…

We sharpen the duality between open and closed topological string partition functions for topological gravity coupled to matter. The closed string partition function is a generalised Kontsevich matrix model in the large dimension limit. We…

For an arbitrary Frobenius manifold a system of Virasoro constraints is constructed. In the semisimple case these constraints are proved to hold true in the genus one approximation. Particularly, the genus $\leq 1$ Virasoro conjecture of…

In this paper, a family of infinite dimensional Lie algebras $\tilde{\mathcal{L}}$ is introduced and investigated, called the extended Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra,denoted by $\tilde{\mathcal{L}}$. These Lie algebras are related to the $N=2$…

We present a conjecture that the universal enveloping algebra of differential operators $\frac{\p}{\p t_k}$ over $\mathbb{C}$ coincides in the origin with the universal enveloping algebra of the (Borel subalgebra of) Virasoro generators…

The Horava theory depends on several coupling constants. The kinetic term of its Lagrangian depends on one dimensionless coupling constant lambda. For the particular value lambda = 1/3 the kinetic term becomes conformal invariant, although…

$GL_h(n) \times GL_{h'}(m)$-covariant (hh')-bosonic (or (hh')-fermionic) algebras ${\cal A}_{hh'\pm}(n,m)$ are built in terms of the corresponding R_h and $R_{h'}$-matrices by contracting the $GL_q(n) \times GL_{q^{\pm1}}(m)$-covariant…
