We prove that the topological recursion formalism can be used to quantize any generic classical spectral curve with smooth ramification points and simply ramified away from poles. For this purpose, we build both the associated quantum…

We generalize the conjectured connection between quantum spectral problems and topological strings to many local almost del Pezzo surfaces with arbitrary mass parameters. The conjecture uses perturbative information of the topological…

We consider the space of probabilities {P(x)}, where the x are coordinates of a configuration space. Under the action of the translation group there is a natural metric over the space of parameters of the group given by the Fisher-Rao…

Using the idea of the degree of a smooth mapping between two manifolds of the same dimension we present here the topological (homotopical) classification of the mappings between spheres of the same dimension, vector fields, monopole and…

This thesis contains work which appeared in several papers. Additionally to the results in the papers it contains a detailed introduction and some further proofs and remarks. The dissertation gives a description of the topology and…

Given an holomorphic Higgs bundle on a compact Riemann surface of genus greater than one, we construct a DQ-module supported by the spectral curve associated to this bundle. Then, we relate quantum curves arising in various situations…

Here we survey several results and conjectures on the cohomology of the total space of the Hitchin system: the moduli space of semi-stable rank n and degree d Higgs bundles on a complex algebraic curve C. The picture emerging is a dynamic…

We present numerical experiments that test the predictions of a conjecture of Gaiotto-Moore-Neitzke and Gaiotto concerning the monodromy map for opers, the nonabelian Hodge correspondence, and the restriction of Hitchin's hyperk\"ahler…

We consider the moduli space of holomorphic principal bundles for reductive Lie groups over Riemann surfaces (possibly with boundaries) and equipped with meromorphic connections. We associate to this space a point-wise notion of quantum…

We give an expression for the pull back of the Hitchin connection from the moduli space of genus two curves to a ten-fold covering of a Teichm\"uller curve discovered by Veech. We then give an expression, in terms of iterated integrals, for…

This thesis is concerned with the application of operadic methods, particularly modular operads, to questions arising in the study of moduli spaces of surfaces as well as applications to the study of homotopy algebras and new constructions…

We prove that the topological recursion formalism can be used to compute the WKB expansion of solutions of second order differential operators obtained by quantization of any hyper-elliptic curve. We express this quantum curve in terms of…

We study topologically trivial $G$-Higgs bundles over an elliptic curve $X$ when the structure group $G$ is a connected real form of a complex semisimple Lie group $G^{\mathbb{C}}$. We achieve a description of their (reduced) moduli space,…

Hyperbolic lattices underlie a new form of quantum matter with potential applications to quantum computing and simulation and which, to date, have been engineered artificially. A corresponding hyperbolic band theory has emerged, extending…

The goal of this article is to motivate and describe how Gromov-Witten theory can and has provided tools to understand the moduli space of curves. For example, ideas and methods from Gromov-Witten theory have led to both conjectures and…

We study Gaiotto's conformal limit for the $G^{\mathbb{R}}$-Hitchin equations, when $G^{\mathbb{R}}$ is a simple real Lie group admitting a $\Theta$-positive structure. We identify a family of flat connections coming from certain solutions…

Using tangent bundle geometry we construct an equivalent reformulation of classical field theory on flat spacetimes which simultaneously encodes the perspectives of multiple observers. Its generalization to curved spacetimes realizes a new…

This is a survey article describing the relationship between quantum curves and topological recursion. A quantum curve is a Schr\"odinger operator-like noncommutative analogue of a plane curve which encodes (quantum) enumerative invariants…

We describe the moduli space of Higgs pairs on an irreducible nodal curve of arithmetic genus one and its geometric structures in terms of the Hitchin map and a flat degeneration of the moduli space of Higgs bundles on an elliptic curve.

This article presents a new proof of a theorem concerning bounds of the spectrum of the product of unitary operators and a generalization for differentiable curves of this theorem. The proofs involve metric geometric arguments in the group…
