$W$-representation realizes partition functions by an action of a cut-and-join-like operator on the vacuum state with a zero-mode background. We provide explicit formulas of this kind for $\beta$- and $q,t$-deformations of the simplest…
We show that the fermionic matrix model can be realized by $W$-representation. We construct the Virasoro constraints with higher algebraic structures, where the constraint operators obey the Witt algebra and null 3-algebra. The remarkable…
We look for the origins of the single equation, which is a peculiar combination of W-constrains, which provides the non-abelian W-representation for generalized Kontsevich model (GKM), i.e. is enough to fix the partition function…
$W$-representation is a miraculous possibility to define a non-perturbative (exact) partition function as an exponential action of somehow integrated Ward identities on unity. It is well known for numerous eigenvalue matrix models when the…

Relation between the Virasoro constraints and KP integrability (determinant formulas) for matrix models is a lasting mystery. We elaborate on the claim that the situation is improved when integrability is enhanced to super-integrability,…
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…
The generalized Kontsevich model (GKM) is a one-matrix model with arbitrary potential. Its partition function belongs to the KP hierarchy. When the potential is monomial, it is an $r$-reduced tau-function that governs the $r$-spin…
The Virasoro constraints play the important role in the study of matrix models and in understanding of the relation between matrix models and CFTs. Recently the localization calculations in supersymmetric gauge theories produced new…
Even though matrix model partition functions do not exhaust the entire set of tau-functions relevant for string theory, they seem to be elementary building blocks for many others and they seem to properly capture the fundamental symplicial…
A review of the appearence of integrable structures in the matrix model description of $2d$-gravity is presented. Most of ideas are demonstrated at the technically simple but ideologically important examples. Matrix models are considered as…
We discuss the relation between matrix models and the Seiberg--Witten type (SW) theories, recently proposed by Dijkgraaf and Vafa. In particular, we prove that the partition function of the Hermitean one-matrix model in the planar (large…
Earlier we explained that partition functions of various matrix models can be constructed from that of the cubic Kontsevich model, which, therefore, becomes a basic elementary building block in "M-theory" of matrix models. However, the less…
Virasoro constraint is the operator algebra version of one-loop equation for a Hermitian one-matrix model, and it plays an important role in solving the model. We construct the realization of the Virasoro constraint from the Conformal Field…
M.Kazarian and S.Lando found a 1-parametric interpolation between Kontsevich and Hurwitz partition functions, which entirely lies within the space of KP tau-functions. V.Bouchard and M.Marino suggested that this interpolation satisfies some…
