We derive the spectral curves for $q$-part double Hurwitz numbers, $r$-spin simple Hurwitz numbers, and arbitrary combinations of these cases, from the analysis of the unstable (0,1)-geometry. We quantize this family of spectral curves and…
In the context of orientable circuits and subcomplexes of these as representing certain singular spaces, we consider characteristic class formulas generalizing those classical results as seen for the Riemann-Hurwitz formula for regulating…
In this paper we study the relation between the Frobenius manifolds of GW theory and Hurwitz-Frobenius manifold. We prove that orbifold GW theory of \PP^1(2,2,2,2) is isomorphic to the submanifold in the Hurwitz-Frobenius manifold of…
A multiparametric family of 2D Toda $\tau$-functions of hypergeometric type is shown to provide generating functions for composite, signed Hurwitz numbers that enumerate certain classes of branched coverings of the Riemann sphere and paths…
In this paper, we study the topology of ordered Hurwitz space. These are moduli spaces of branched covers with a choice of ordering on the branched points. Answering a question of Ellenberg, we prove that the homology of ordered Hurwitz…
We exhibit a generating function of spin Hurwitz numbers analogous to (disconnected) double Hurwitz numbers that is a tau function of the two-component BKP (2-BKP) hierarchy and is a square root of a tau function of the two-component KP…
We obtain bivariate asymptotics for one part monotone Hurwitz numbers in high genus (i.e. as both the size and the genus go to infinity). To do so, we start with a linear recurrence for these numbers obtained by Do and Chaudhuri. Then, we…
We define the tropical moduli space of covers of a tropical line in the plane as weighted abstract polyhedral complex, and the tropical branch map recording the images of the simple ramifications. Our main result is the invariance of the…
We expand Topological Field Theory on some special CW-complexes (brane complexes). This Brane Topological Field Theory one-to-one corresponds to infinite dimensional Frobenius Algebras, graduated by CW-complexes of lesser dimension. We…
Using Atiyah-Bott localization on the space of stable maps to the stack quotient $[\mathbb{P}^1/\mathbb{Z}_2]$, we find recursions that determine all Hodge integrals with descendent insertions at one marked point on the hyperelliptic locus…
The Dubrovin-Zhang hierarchy is a Hamiltonian infinite-dimensional integrable system associated to a semi-simple cohomological field theory or, alternatively, to a semi-simple Dubrovin-Frobenius manifold. Under an extra assumption of…
We introduce $(r+1)$-completed cycles $k$-leaky Hurwitz numbers and prove piecewise polynomiality as well as establishing their chamber polynomiality structure and their wall crossing formulae. For $k=0$ the results recover previous results…
Branched covers between Riemann surfaces are associated with certain combinatorial data, and Hurwitz existence problem asks whether given data satisfying those combinatorial constraints can be realized by some branched cover. We connect…
We study the components of the Hurwitz scheme of ramified coverings of $\mathbb{P}^1$ with monodromy given by the alternating group $A_6$ and elements in the conjugacy class of product of two disjoint cycles. In order to detect the…
We introduce stable tropical curves and use these to count covers of the $p$-adic projective line of fixed degree and ramification types by Mumford curves in terms of tropical Hurwitz numbers. Our counts depend on the branch loci of the…
We introduce a series of $\Z_2^n$-graded quasialgebras $\bbP_n(m)$ which generalizes Clifford algebras, higher octonions, and higher Cayley algebras. The constructed series of algebras and their minor perturbations are applied to contribute…
Double ramification loci parametrise marked curves where a weighted sum of the markings is linearly trivial; higher-rank loci are obtained by imposing several such conditions simultaneously. We obtain closed formulae for the orbifold Euler…
The KP hierarchy is a completely integrable system of quadratic, partial differential equations that generalizes the KdV hierarchy. A linear combination of Schur functions is a solution to the KP hierarchy if and only if its coefficients…
We consider the problem of defining and computing real analogs of polynomial Hurwitz numbers, in other words, the problem of counting properly normalized real polynomials with fixed ramification profiles over real branch points. We show…
To a branched cover f between orientable surfaces one can associate a certain branch datum D(f), that encodes the combinatorics of the cover. This D(f) satisfies a compatibility condition called the Riemann-Hurwitz relation. The old but…
