We compute the Nekrasov partition function of gauge theories on the (resolved) toric singularities C^2/\Gamma in terms of blow-up formulae. We discuss the expansion of the partition function in the \epsilon_1,\epsilon_2 \to 0 limit along…
We present in a unified setting the foundations for a theory of non-bilinear Dirichlet functionals on Hilbert spaces. We prove known and new equivalences between non-linear semigroups, non-linear resolvents, non-linear generators, and their…
We continue to study the matrix model of the $N_f =2$ $SU(2)$ case that represents the irregular conformal block. What provides us with the Painlev\'{e} system is not the instanton partition function per se but rather a finite analog of its…
Correlation functions for holonomic fields on the Poincare' disk are analyzed. The two point functions are shown to be expressible in terms of Painleve' functions of type VI.
We develop a recursive approach to computing Neveu-Schwarz conformal blocks associated with n-punctured Riemann surfaces. This work generalizes the results of [1] obtained recently for the Virasoro algebra. The method is based on the…
Recursion relations for the sphere $4$-point and torus $1$-point ${\cal W}_3$ conformal blocks, generalizing Alexei Zamolodchikov's famous relation for the Virasoro conformal blocks are proposed. One of these relations is valid for any…
Bilinear equation is an important property for integrable nonlinear evolution equation. Many famous research objects in mathematical physics, such as Gromov-Witten invariants, can be described in terms of bilinear equations to show their…
We use analytic (super-)conformal bootstrap methods to derive explicit expressions for the structure constants of $\mathcal{N}=1$ Liouville CFT in the `timelike' regime of the superconformal central charge. The obtained expressions take the…
Inspired by Polyakov's original formulation of quantum Liouville theory through functional integral, we analyze perturbation expansion around a classical solution. We show the validity of conformal Ward identities for puncture operators and…
The $2\times 2$ Schlesinger system for the case of four regular singularities is equivalent to the Painlev\'e VI equation. The Painlev\'e VI equation can in turn be rewritten in the symmetric form of Okamoto's equation; the dependent…
The AGT relations reduce S-duality to the modular transformations of conformal blocks. It was recently conjectured that for the four-point conformal block the modular transform up to the non-perturbative contributions can be written in form…
We prove the connection between the Nekrasov partition function of N=2 super-symmetric U(2) gauge theory with adjoint matter and conformal blocks for the Virasoro algebra, as predicted by the Alday-Gaiotto-Tachikawa relations.…
Liouville conformal field theory is a prototypical example of an exactly solvable quantum field theory, in the sense that the correlation functions in an arbitrary background can be determined exactly using only the constraints of unitarity…
We introduce a single tau function that represents the CKP hierarchy into a generalized Hirota "bilinear" equation. The actions on the tau function by additional symmetries for the hierarchy are calculated, which involve strictly more than…
The monodromy map for a rank-two system of differential equations with three Fuchsian singularities is classically solved by the Kummer formul\ae\ for Gauss' hypergeometric functions. We define the tau-function of such a system as the…
In these lectures we discuss how the Painleve equations can be written in terms of entire functions, and then in the Hirota bilinear (or multilinear) form. Hirota's method, which has been so useful in soliton theory, is reviewed and…
We study the extended prepotentials for the S-duality class of quiver gauge theories, considering them as quasiclassical tau-functions, depending on gauge theory condensates and bare couplings. The residue formulas for the third derivatives…

We consider a $q$-Painlev\'e III equation and a $q$-Painlev\'e II equation arising from a birational representation of the affine Weyl group of type $(A_2+A_1)^{(1)}$. We study their hypergeometric solutions on the level of $\tau$…
The Bank-Laine conjecture concerning the oscillation of solutions of second order homogeneous linear differential equations has recently been disproved by Bergweiler and Eremenko. It is shown here, however, that the conjecture is true if…
