Let $V$ be a smooth, projective, convex variety. We define tautological $\psi$ and $\kappa$ classes on the moduli space of stable maps $\M_{0,n}(V)$, give a (graphical) presentation for these classes in terms of boundary strata, derive…

Using intersection and self-intersection of loops, Turaev introduced in the seventies two fundamental operations on the algebra $\mathbb{Q}[\pi]$ of the fundamental group $\pi$ of a surface with boundary. The first operation is binary and…

The semisimple Frobenius manifolds related to the Hurwitz spaces $H_{g,N}(k_1, ..., k_l)$ are considered. We show that the corresponding isomonodromic tau-function $\tau_I$ coincides with $(-1/2)$-power of the Bergmann tau-function which…

We give a recipe to compute the geometric intersection number of an integral lamination with a particular type of integral lamination on an n-times punctured disk. This provides a way to find the geometric intersection number of two…

The open intersection theory has been initiated by R. Pandharipande, J. P. Solomon and R. J. Tessler. In the scope of matrix model theory, A. Buryak and R. J. Tessler have constructed a matrix model $\mathcal{Z}^o$ for the open partition…

We continue the investigation of the connection between the genus expansion of matrix models and the $\hbar$ expansion of integrable hierarchies started in arXiv:2008.06416. In this paper, we focus on the $B$KP hierarchy, which corresponds…

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…

Formulae of Berezin and Karpelevic for the radial parts of invariant differential operators and the spherical function on a complex Grassmann manifold are generalized to the hypergeometric functions associated with root system of type…

For an arbitrary semisimple Frobenius manifold we construct Hodge integrable hierarchy of Hamiltonian partial differential equations. In the particular case of quantum cohomology the tau-function of a solution to the hierarchy generates the…

This paper is an exposition of heuristics related to Witten's functional integral, relating it to Vassiliev invariants and to the Kontsevich integrals that can be used to produce Vassiliev invariants of knots and links.In particular, we…

We study a $b$-deformation of monotone Hurwitz numbers, obtained by deforming Schur functions into Jack symmetric functions. We give an evolution equation for this model and derive from it Virasoro constraints, thereby proving a conjecture…

A higher dimensional analogue of the dispersionless KP hierarchy is introduced. In addition to the two-dimensional ``phase space'' variables $(k,x)$ of the dispersionless KP hierarchy, this hierarchy has extra spatial dimensions…

We show that when KP (Kadomtsev-Petviashvili) $\tau$ functions allow special symmetries, the discrete BKP equation can be expressed as a linear combination of the discrete AKP equation and its reflected symmetric forms. Thus the discrete…

For a real affine hyperplane arrangement, we define an integer intersection matrix with a natural $q$-deformation related to the intersections of bounded chambers of the arrangement. By connecting the integer matrix to a bilinear form of…

We derive the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation defined over a general associative algebra and construct its N-soliton solution. For the example of the Moyal algebra, we find multi-soliton solutions for arbitrary space-space…

In this paper we investigate the Bergman kernel function for intersection of two complex ellipsoids $\{(z,w_1,w_2) \in \mathbb{C}^{n+2} : |z_1|^2 + \cdots + |z_n|^2 + |w_1|^q < 1, \quad |z_1|^2 + \cdots + |z_n|^2 + |w_2|^r < 1\}.$

We derive effective recursion formulae of top intersections in the tautological ring $R^*(M_g)$ of the moduli space of curves of genus $g\geq 2$. As an application, we prove a convolution-type tautological relation in $R^{g-2}(M_g)$.

We consider the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants or Chern-Simons partition function at or around roots of unity $q=e^{2\pi i \frac{1}{K}}$ with rational level $K=\frac{r}{s}$ where $r$ and $s$ are coprime integers. From the exact…

For systems of evolutionary partial differential equations the tau-structure is an important notion which originated from the deep relation between integrable systems and quantum field theories. We show that, under a certain non-degeneracy…
