We present an explicit formula for Witten-Kontsevich tau-function.
In this paper, we consider the higher Br\'ezin--Gross--Witten tau-functions, given by the matrix integrals. For these tau-functions we construct the canonical Kac--Schwarz operators, quantum spectral curves, and $W^{(3)}$-constraints. For…
In the planar limit of the 't Hooft expansion, the Wilson-loop average in 3d Chern-Simons theory (i.e. the HOMFLY polynomial) depends in a very simple way on representation (the Young diagram), so that the (knot-dependent) Ooguri-Vafa…
We identify the Kontsevich-Penner matrix integral, for finite size $n$, with the isomonodromic tau function of a $3\times 3$ rational connection on the Riemann sphere with $n$ Fuchsian singularities placed in correspondence with the…
The expansion of a modular graph function on a torus of modulus $\tau$ near the cusp is given by a Laurent polynomial in $y= \pi \Im (\tau)$ with coefficients that are rational multiples of single-valued multiple zeta-values, apart from the…
The Bernstein operators allow to build recursively the Schur functions. We present a recursion formula for k-Schur functions at t=1 based on combinatorial operators that generalize the Bernstein operators. The recursion leads immediately to…
We introduce a family of generalized Schr\"oder polynomials $S_\tau(q,t,a)$, indexed by triangular partitions $\tau$ and prove that $S_\tau(q,t,a)$ agrees with the Poincar\'e series of the triply graded Khovanov-Rozansky homology of the…
Given a complex polynomial $P$ with zeroes $z_1,\dotsc,z_d$, we show that the asymptotic zero-counting measure of the iterated derivatives $Q^{(n)}, \ n=1,2,\dotsc$, where $Q=R/P$ is any irreducible rational function, converges to an…
We exhibit a weight-preserving bijection between semi-standard Young tableaux and semi-skyline augmented fillings to provide a combinatorial proof that the Schur functions decompose into nonsymmetric functions indexed by compositions. The…
Starting from the Verma module of U_q sl(2) we consider the evaluation module for affine U_q sl(2) and discuss its crystal limit (q=0). There exists an associated integrable statistical mechanics model on a square lattice defined in terms…
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…
We study Schur Q-polynomials evaluated on a geometric progression, or equivalently q-enumeration of marked shifted tableaux, seeking explicit formulas that remain regular at q=1. We obtain several such expressions as multiple basic…
Kontsevich conjectured that the number f(G,q) of zeros over the finite field with q elements of a certain polynomial connected with the spanning trees of a graph G is polynomial function of q. We have been unable to settle Kontsevich's…
Weil-Petersson volumes of the moduli space of curves are deeply related to the Kontsevich-Witten KdV tau function. They possess a Virasoro symmetry which comes out of recursion relations between the volumes due to Mirzakhani. Similarly, the…
Many eigenvalue matrix models possess a peculiar basis of observables which have explicitly calculable averages. This explicit calculability is a stronger feature than ordinary integrability, just like the cases of quadratic and Coulomb…
Matrix hierarchies are: multi-component KP, general Zakharov-Shabat (ZS) and its special cases, e.g., AKNS. The ZS comprises all integrable systems having a form of zero-curvature equations with rational dependence of matrices on a spectral…
The paper contains some new results and a review of recent achievements, concerning the multisupport solutions to matrix models. In the leading order of the 't Hooft expansion for matrix integral, these solutions are described by…
This paper deals with efficient numerical methods for computing the action of the generating function of Bernoulli polynomials, say $q(\tau,w)$, on a typically large sparse matrix. This problem occurs when solving some non-local boundary…
A theorem of Kushnirenko and Bernstein shows that the number of isolated roots of a system of polynomials in a torus is bounded above by the mixed volume of the Newton polytopes of the given polynomials, and this upper bound is generically…
We will describe algebro-geometric solutions of the KdV hierarchy whose $\tau$-functions in addition satisfy a generalization of the Virasoro constraints (and, in particular, a generalization of the string equation). We show that these…
