We define a collection $\Theta_{g,n}\in H^{4g-4+2n}(\overline{\cal M}_{g,n},\mathbb{Q})$ for $2g-2+n>0$ of cohomology classes that restrict naturally to boundary divisors. We prove that the intersection numbers $\int_{\overline{\cal…

In their recent inspiring paper Mironov and Morozov claim a surprisingly simple expansion formula for the Kontsevich-Witten tau-function in terms of the Schur Q-functions. Here we provide a similar conjecture for the Br\'ezin-Gross-Witten…

In this paper we conjecture that the generating function of the intersection numbers on the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with boundary, constructed recently by R. Pandharipande, J. Solomon and R. Tessler and extended by A. Buryak, is a…

Recently R. Pandharipande, J. Solomon and R. Tessler initiated a study of the intersection theory on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundary. They conjectured that the generating series of the intersection numbers is a specific…

We present a series of new results we obtained recently about the intersection numbers of tautological classes on moduli spaces of curves, including a simple formula of the n-point functions for Witten's $\tau$ classes, an effective…

In this paper, we continue our investigation of the triple Hodge integrals satisfying the Calabi-Yau condition. For the tau-functions, which generate these integrals, we derive the complete families of the Heisenberg-Virasoro constraints.…

Using the connection between intersection theory on the Deligne-Mumford spaces and the edge scaling of the GUE matrix model (see math.CO/9903176, math.AG/0101147), we express the n-point functions for the intersection numbers as…

The Burgers--KdV hierarchy was introduced towards understanding intersection numbers on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundaries. The goal of this paper is to derive the Dubrovin--Zhang type loop equation for the topological…

We derive a formula for the connected $n$-point functions of a tau-function of the BKP hierarchy in terms of its affine coordinates. This is a BKP-analogue of a formula for KP tau-functions proved by Zhou in [arXiv:1507.01679]. Moreover, we…

We consider correlation functions of topologically twisted, $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with gauge group ${\rm SU}(2)$ and $N_f\leq 3$ massive hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. For a smooth, compact,…

We construct all polynomial tau-functions of the BKP, DKP and MDKP hierarches.

We show that any polynomial tau-function of the s-component KP and the BKP hierarchies can be interpreted as a zero mode of an appropriate combinatorial generating function. As an application, we obtain explicit formulas for all polynomial…

We give 4 formulations of the Modified KP hierarchy and show that they are equivalent. We also discuss the reductions of the MKP hierarchy to the modified $n$-KdV hierarchies. As a byproduct, we find an astonishingly simple explicit…

Based on the matrix-resolvent approach, for an arbitrary solution to the discrete KdV hierarchy, we define the tau-function of the solution, and compare it with another tau-function of the solution defined via reduction of the Toda lattice…

In this paper, we give a generate function for the $\sigma_1$ function. Then we find some connections between the $\sigma_1$ function and the Ramanujan's tau function. We hope this connection will give some insights into the unsolved…

For an arbitrary solution to the AKNS hierarchy, the logarithmic derivatives of the tau-function of the solution can be computed by the matrix-resolvent method [14,21]. In this paper, we introduce a pair of wave functions of the solution…

We prove that the logarithm of an arbitrary tau-function of the KdV hierarchy can be approximated, in the topology of graded formal series by the logarithmic expansions of hyperelliptic theta-functions of finite genus, up to at most…

In these lecture notes we review the various relations between intersection theory on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces, integrable hierarchies of KdV type, matrix models, and topological quantum field theories. We explain in particular…
