Partition functions of eigenvalue matrix models possess a number of very different descriptions: as matrix integrals, as solutions to linear and non-linear equations, as tau-functions of integrable hierarchies and as special-geometry…
We use algebraic methods to compute the simple Hurwitz numbers for arbitrary source and target Riemann surfaces. For an elliptic curve target, we reproduce the results previously obtained by string theorists. Motivated by the Gromov-Witten…

Frobenius manifolds (solutions of WDVV equations) in canonical coordinates are determined by the system of Darboux-Egoroff equations. This system of partial differential equations appears as a specific subset of the $n$-component KP…
We discover a non-trivial relation between the mock modular generating functions of the level $1$ and level $N$ Hurwitz class numbers. This relation yields a holomorphic modular form of weight $\frac{3}{2}$ and level $4N$, where $N > 1$ is…
The classical Hurwitz numbers count the fixed-length transitive transposition factorizations of a permutation, with a remarkable product formula for the case of minimum length (genus $0$). We study the analogue of these numbers for…
Integral representations of hypergeometric functions proved to be a very useful tool for studying their properties. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we extend the known representations to arbitrary values of the parameters and…
The partition function for quantum weighted double Hurwitz numbers can be interpreted in terms of the energy distribution of a quantum Bose gas with vanishing fugacity. We compute the leading term of the partition function and the quantum…
We derive an explicit formula for the connected $(n,m)$-point functions associated to an arbitrary diagonal tau-function $\tau_f(\boldsymbol{t}^+,\boldsymbol{t}^-)$ of the 2d Toda lattice hierarchy using fermionic computations and the…
We show that partition functions of various matrix models can be obtained by acting on elementary functions with exponents of W-operators. A number of illustrations is given, including the Gaussian Hermitian matrix model, Hermitian model in…
In this paper we establish relations between three enumerative geometry tau-functions, namely the Kontsevich-Witten, Hurwitz and Hodge tau-functions. The relations allow us to describe the tau-functions in terms of matrix integrals,…
We shall consider the product of complex random matrices from the independent complex Ginibre ensembles. The product includes complex matrices $Z_i, Z_i^\dagger, \, i = 1, \ldots, n$ and $2n$ sources (complex matrices $C_i$ and $C_i^*$).…
Expressions for a family of integrals involving the Hurwitz zeta function are established using standard properties of the Fourier transform.
We establish the meromorphic continuation of certain multiple zeta functions of generalized Hurwitz type. From this meromorphic continuation, we obtain explicit formulas for their (derivative) values at nonpositive integers along a given…
We study the incomplete Mellin transformation of the fractional part and the related log-sine function when composed by an affine complex map. We evaluate the corresponding integral in two different ways which yields equalities with series…
For an arbitrary solution to the KdV hierarchy, the generating series of logarithmic derivatives of the tau-function of the solution can be expressed by the basic matrix resolvent via algebraic manipulations. Based on this we develop in…
Several features of an analytic (infinite-dimensional) Grassmannian of (commensurable) subspaces of a Hilbert space were developed in the context of integrable PDEs (KP hierarchy). We extended some of those features when polarized separable…
Harmonic wave functions for integer and half-integer angular momentum are given in terms of the Euler angles $(\theta,\phi,\psi)$ that define a rotation in $SO(3)$, and the Euclidean norm in ${\mathbb R}^3$. Following a classical work by…
We show that the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis elements $C_w$ of the Hecke algebra of the symmetric group, when $w \in S_n$ corresponds to a Schubert subvariety of a Grassmann variety, can be written as a product of factors of the form…
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 $N\times N$…
