We show that conformal maps of simply connected domains with an analytic boundary to a unit disk have an intimate relation to the dispersionless 2D Toda integrable hierarchy. The maps are determined by a particular solution to the hierarchy…

We consider integrals of tau functions of Zakharov-Shabat systems whose higher times are related to the eigenvalues of products of random matrices. Apart of random matrices there is the set of $n$ pairs of given matrices which play the role…

We prove that the isomonodromic tau function on a torus with Fuchsian singularities and generic monodromies in $GL(N,\mathbb{C})$ can be written in terms of a Fredholm determinant of Cauchy-Plemelj operators. We further show that the minor…

We compute the equivariant K-theoretic Donaldson--Thomas invariants of $[\mathbb{C}^2/\mu_r]\times \mathbb{C}$ using factorization and rigidity techniques. For this, we develop a generalization of Okounkov's factorization technique that…

We show that a 2-parameter family of $\tau$-functions for the first Painlev\'e equation can be constructed by the discrete Fourier transform of the topological recursion partition function for a family of elliptic curves. We also perform an…

We construct a new class of operators that act on symmetric functions with two deformation parameters $q$ and $t$. Our combinatorial construction associates each operator with a specific lattice path, whose steps alternate between moving up…

This is a research announcement concerning a series of constructions obtained by applying the "doubling method" from the theory of automorphic forms to covering groups. Using these constructions, we obtain partial tensor product L-functions…

We define dual equivalence for any collection of combinatorial objects endowed with a descent set, and we show that giving a dual equivalence establishes the symmetry and Schur positivity of the quasi-symmetric generating function. We give…

The core of this article is a general theorem with a large number of specializations. Given a manifold $N$ and a finite number of one-parameter groups of point transformations on $N$ with generators $Y, X_{(1)}, \cdots, X_{(d)} $, we…

It is shown that the Topological Massive and ``Self-dual'' theories, which are known to provide locally equivalent descriptions of spin 1 theories in 2+1 dimensions, have different global properties when formulated over topologically…

We define two tau functions, $\tau$ and $\hat{\tau}$ , on moduli spaces of spectral covers of $GL(n)$ Hitchin's systems. Analyzing the properties of $\tau$, we express the divisor class of the universal Hitchin's discriminant in terms of…

Pandharipande-Thomas theory and Donaldson-Thomas theory (PT and DT) are two branches of enumerative geometry in which particular generating functions arise that count plane-partition-like objects. That these generating functions differ only…

We construct coordinates on conjugacy classes of traceless complex matrices with simple spectrum that diagonalize the non-periodic Toda vector field. By this we mean that the coordinates, defined on an open and dense neighborhood of any…

In the context of generating functions for $P$-partitions, we revisit three flavors of quasisymmetric functions: Gessel's quasisymmetric functions, Chow's type B quasisymmetric functions, and Poirier's signed quasisymmetric functions. In…

We use the plethystic programme and the Molien-Weyl fomula to compute generating functions, or Hilbert Series, which count gauge invariant operators in SQCD with the SO and Sp gauge groups. The character expansion technique indicates how…

It is well-known that the partition function of the unitary ensembles of random matrices is given by a tau-function of the Toda lattice hierarchy and those of the orthogonal and symplectic ensembles are tau-functions of the Pfaff lattice…

We consider the topological string partition function, including the Nekrasov deformation, for type IIB geometries with an A_{n-1} singularity over a Riemann surface. These models realize the N=2 SU(n) superconformal gauge systems recently…

We investigate S^3/Z_n partition function of N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories. A gauge theory on the orbifold has degenerate vacua specified by the holonomy. The partition function is obtained by summing up the contributions of saddle…

We present new methods for the study of a class of generating functions introduced by the second author which carry some formal similarities with the Hurwitz zeta function. We prove functional identities which establish an explicit…

It was known that one-point functions in the ABJM matrix model (obtained by applying the localization technique to one-point functions of the half-BPS Wilson loop operator in the ABJM theory) satisfy the Jacobi-Trudi formula, which strongly…
