The modern version of conformal matrix model (CMM) describes conformal blocks in the Dijkgraaf-Vafa phase. Therefore it possesses a determinant representation and becomes a Toda chain $\tau$-function only after a peculiar Fourier transform…
We define the set of almost-intertwining matrices to be all triples(X,Y,Z) of n x n matrices for which XZ=YX+T for some rank one matrix T. A surprisingly simple formula is given for tau-functions of the KP hierarchy in terms of such…
Sato theory provides a correspondence between solutions to the KP hierarchy and points in an infinite dimensional Grassmannian. In this correspondence, flows generated infinitesimally by powers of the ``shift'' operator give time dependence…
The two function theories of monogenic and of slice monogenic functions have been extensively studied in the literature and were developed independently; the relations between them, e.g. via Fueter mapping and Radon transform, have been…
Led by the key example of the Korteweg-de Vries equation, we study pairs of Hamiltonian operators which are non-homogeneous and are given by the sum of a first-order operator and an ultralocal structure. We present a complete classification…
We suggest to associate with each knot the set of coefficients of its HOMFLY polynomial expansion into the Schur functions. For each braid representation of the knot these coefficients are defined unambiguously as certain combinations of…
We develop a geometric framework for the exact integration of Hamiltonian systems based on triangular closure relations among a finite family of functions. Unlike Liouville-Arnold integrability and its noncommutative generalizations, the…
$Q$-systems and $T$-systems are systems of integrable difference equations that have recently attracted much attention, and have wide applications in representation theory and statistical mechanics. We show that certain $\tau$-functions,…
Schur functions are the common eigenfunctions of generalized cut-and-join operators which form a closed algebra. They can be expressed as differential operators in time-variables and also through the eigenvalues of auxiliary $N\times N$…
The Schur functions play a crucial role in the modern description of HOMFLY polynomials for knots and of topological vertices in DIM-based network theories, which could merge into a unified theory still to be developed. The Macdonald…
Spin Hurwitz numbers are related to characters of the Sergeev group, which are the expansion coefficients of the Q Schur functions, depending on odd times and on a subset of all Young diagrams. These characters involve two dual subsets: the…
In this series of lectures, we (re)view the "geometric method" that reconstructs, from a geometric object: the "spectral curve", an integrable system, and in particular its Tau function, Baker-Akhiezer functions and "current amplitudes",…
For a (classically) integrable quantum mechanical system with two degrees of freedom, the functional dependence $\hat{H}=H_Q(\hat{J}_1,\hat{J}_2)$ of the Hamiltonian operator on the action operators is analyzed and compared with the…
We present the fermionic representation for the q-deformed hypergeometric functions related to Schur polynomials considered by S.Milne \cite{Milne}. For $q=1$ these functions are also known as hypergeometric functions of matrix argument…
One of the central open problems in both algebraic combinatorics and representation theory is to find a positive combinatorial rule for Kronecker coefficients $ g_{\lambda \, \mu \, \nu}$. A notable advance in this direction is due to…
We aim to completely formalize the rough topological analysis of integrable Hamiltonian systems admitting analytical solutions such that the initial phase variables along with the time derivatives of the auxiliary variables are expressed as…
We consider the order parameter $u=\left<{\rm Tr}\phi^2\right>$ as function of the running coupling constant $\tau \in \mathbb{H}$ of asymptotically free $\mathcal{N}=2$ QCD with gauge group $SU(2)$ and $N_f\leq 3$ massive hypermultiplets.…
We introduce a new class of operators in any theory with a 't Hooft large-$N$ limit that we call colour-twist operators. They are defined by twisting the colour-trace with a global symmetry transformation and are continuously linked to…
We study one-parameter expanding evolution families of simply connected domains in the complex plane described by infinite systems of evolution parameters. These evolution parameters in some cases admit Hamiltonian formulation and lead to…
