We consider 2-surfaces arising from the Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation. The surfaces corresponding to KdV are in a three dimensional Minkowski space. They contain a family of quadratic Weingarten and Willmore-like surfaces. We show that a…

A novel high-order numerical scheme is proposed to compute the covariant derivative, particularly for divergence and curl, on any curved surface. The proposed scheme does not require the construction of a curved axis or metric tensor, which…

We propose $q$-deformation of the Gamayun-Iorgov-Lisovyy formula for Painlev\'e $\tau$ function. Namely we propose formula for $\tau$ function for $q$-difference Painlev\'e equation corresponding to $A_7^{(1)}{}'$ surface (and $A_1^{(1)}$…

We consider the partition function of a general vertex operator algebra $V$ on a genus two Riemann surface formed by sewing together two tori. We consider the non-trivial degeneration limit where one torus is pinched down to a Riemann…

Using Gromov-Witten theory the numbers of complex plane rational curves of degree d through 3d-1 general given points can be computed recursively with Kontsevich's formula that follows from the so-called WDVV equations. In this paper we…

We present a new solution to the formality problem for the framed Goldman--Turaev Lie bialgebra, constructing Goldman-Turaev homomorphic expansions (formality isomorphisms) from the Kontsevich integral. Our proof uses a three dimensional…

In this note, we initiate the study of generating functions for tight cylindric partitions. For general (i.e., $r$-rowed for $r\geq 2$) tight cylindric partitions, we provide analogs of the Corteel--Welsh functional equations. We prove…

We extend the theory of topological recursion by considering Airy structures whose partition functions are highest weight vectors of particular $\mathcal{W}$-algebra representations. Such highest weight vectors arise as partition functions…

We propose that the grand canonical topological string partition functions satisfy finite-difference equations in the closed string moduli. In the case of genus one mirror curve these are conjectured to be the q-difference Painlev\'e…

We construct canonical semi-orthogonal decompositions for derived categories of smooth projective surfaces. These decompositions are compatible with the operations in the minimal model program, such as blow-ups and conic bundles. Therefore…
