For any (possibly singular) hyperelliptic curve, we give the definition of a hyperelliptic refined spectral curve and the hyperelliptic refined topological recursion, generalising the formulation for a special class of genus-zero curves by…

We investigate a supersymmetric generalisation of topological recursion from two perspectives: algebraic and geometric. The algebraic side concerns a recursive structure encoded in modules of a super Virasoro algebra, and the geometric…

The topological recursion of Eynard and Orantin governs a variety of problems in enumerative geometry and mathematical physics. The recursion uses the data of a spectral curve to define an infinite family of multidifferentials. It has been…

We discuss how to use the recent progress in understanding of the $x$-$y$ duality and symplectic duality in the theory of topological recursion and its generalizations in order to efficiently compute the quantum spectral curve operators for…

Ordinary maps satisfy topological recursion for a certain spectral curve $(x, y)$. We solve a conjecture from arXiv:1710.07851 that claims that fully simple maps, which are maps with non self-intersecting disjoint boundaries, satisfy…

We present a quantum deformation theory of the Airy curve and use it to establish a version of mirror symmetry of a point.

The paper aims at giving an introduction to the notion of quantum curves. The main purpose is to describe the new discovery of the relation between the following two disparate subjects: one is the topological recursion, that has its origin…

In a previous effort [arXiv:1708.05492] we have created a framework that explains why topological structures naturally arise within a scientific theory; namely, they capture the requirements of experimental verification. This is…

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…

A geometric quantization using the topological recursion is established for the compactified cotangent bundle of a smooth projective curve of an arbitrary genus. In this quantization, the Hitchin spectral curve of a rank $2$ meromorphic…

For a given spectral curve, we construct a family of symplectic dual spectral curves for which we prove an explicit formula expressing the $n$-point functions produced by the topological recursion on these curves via the $n$-point functions…

We discuss the principle tools and results and state a few open problems concerning the classification and topology of plane sextics and trigonal curves in ruled surfaces.

One of the most important applications of topological recursion concerns spectral curves for which the functions $(x,y)$ defining the spectral curve are allowed to have logarithmic singularities. This occurs for instance for Seiberg-Witten…

In this PhD thesis, we give a new geometric approach to higher Teichm\"uller theory. In particular we construct a geometric structure on surfaces, generalizing the complex structure, and we explore its link to Hitchin components. The…

A notion of dual curve for pseudoholomorphic curves in 4--manifolds turns out to be possible only if the notion of almost complex structure structure is slightly generalized. The resulting structure is as easy (perhaps easier) to work with,…

We prove that the topological recursion reconstructs the WKB expansion of a quantum curve for all spectral curves whose Newton polygons have no interior point (and that are smooth as affine curves). This includes nearly all previously known…
