In this paper, we give a new genus-3 topological recursion relation for Gromov-Witten invariants of compact symplectic manifolds. This formula also applies to intersection numbers on moduli spaces of spin curves. A by-product of the proof…
We introduce a new formulation of the so-called topological recursion, that is defined globally on a compact Riemann surface. We prove that it is equivalent to the generalized recursion for spectral curves with arbitrary ramification. Using…
We outline a strategy for computing intersection numbers on smooth varieties with torus actions using a residue formula of Bott. As an example, Gromov-Witten numbers of twisted cubic and elliptic quartic curves on some general complete…
The $s$-point correlation function of a Gaussian Hermitian random matrix theory, with an external source tuned to generate a multi-critical singularity, provides the intersection numbers of the moduli space for the $p$-th spin curves…
In this article, we compute the topological expansion of all possible mixed-traces in a hermitian two matrix model. In other words we give a recipe to compute the number of discrete surfaces of given genus, carrying an Ising model, and with…
We explain how to compute top-dimensional intersections of psi-classes on moduli spaces of m-stable curves. On the moduli spaces of Deligne-Mumford stable pointed curves of genus one, these intersection numbers are determined by two…
The paper is a part of our program to build up a theory of couting immersed nodal curve on algebraic surfaces, as an enumerative Riemann-Roch theory (outlined in math.AG/0405113). In this paper, we discuss the excess intersection theory of…
The study of the intersection cohomology of moduli spaces of semistable bundles was initiated by Frances Kirwan in the 1980's. In this paper, we give a complete geometric proof of a recursive formula, which reduces the calculation of the…
We derive an efficient way to obtain generating functions of bipartite maps of arbitrary genus and boundary length using a spectral curve as initial data for the framework of topological recursion. Based on an earlier result of Chapuy and…
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 describe algorithms for computing the intersection numbers of divisors and of Chern classes of the Hodge bundle on the moduli spaces of stable pointed curves. We also discuss the implementations and the results obtained. There are…
Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective variety. Using a construction devised to Gathmann, we present a recursive formula for some of the Gromov-Witten invariants of $X$. We prove that, when $X$ is homogeneous, this formula gives the number…
The Witten-Kontsevich theorem states that a certain generating function for intersection numbers on the moduli space of stable curves is a tau-function for the KdV integrable hierarchy. This generating function can be recovered via the…
Given a spectral curve with exponential singularities (which we call a "transalgebraic spectral curve"), we extend the definition of topological recursion to include contributions from the exponential singularities in a way that is…
We show that intersection numbers on the moduli space of stable bundles of coprime rank and degree over a smooth complex curve can be recovered as highest-degree asymptotics in formulas of Vafa-Intriligator type. In particular, we…
We present explicit formulas for the intersection pairing in the intersection cohomology of the moduli space $M_0(r)$ of rank-$r$, degree-$0$ semistable bundles on a Riemann surface. The key idea is to realize this intersection cohomology…

In this paper, we study the basic structures of degree-$g$ topological recursion relations on the moduli space of curves $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$: (i) The coefficient of the bouquet class on $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$, which gives…
We find explicit formulas for the Hilbert series of residual intersections of a scheme in terms of the Hilbert series of its conormal modules. In a previous paper we proved that such formulas should exist. We give applications to the…
