This article investigates the intersection numbers of the moduli space of p-spin curves with the help of matrix models. The explicit integral representations that are derived for the generating functions of these intersection numbers…
We report here an extension of a previous work in which we have shown that matrix models provide a tool to compute the intersection numbers of p-spin curves. We discuss further an extension to half-integer p, and in more details for p=1/2…
The intersection numbers of p-spin curves are computed through correlation functions of Gaussian ensembles of random matrices in an external matrix source. The p-dependence of intersection numbers is determined as polynomial in p; the large…
The matrix model of topological field theory for the moduli space of p-th spin curves is extended to the case of the Lie algebra of the orthogonal group. We derive a new duality relation for the expectation values of characteristic…
A generalization of the Kontsevich Airy-model allows one to compute the intersection numbers of the moduli space of p-spin curves. These models are deduced from averages of characteristic polynomials over Gaussian ensembles of random…
The $s$-point correlation function of a Gaussian Hermitian random matrix theory, with an external source tuned to generate a multi-critical singularity, provides the intersection numbers of the moduli space for the $p$-th spin curves…
We develop an analytic approach which allows us to study the behaviour of spin models with competing interactions and $p$-fold spin anisotropy, $D$, in the limit where the pinning potential which results from $D$ is large. This is an…
In this paper we study the critical properties of a finite dimensional generalization of the p-spin model. We find evidence that in dimension three, contrary to its mean field limit, the glass transition is associated to a diverging…
We consider a general class of (intersecting) loop models in D dimensions, including those related to high-temperature expansions of well-known spin models. We find that the loop models exhibit some interesting features - often in the…
We explicitly compute the diverging factor in the large genus asymptotics of the Weil-Petersson volumes of the moduli spaces of $n$-pointed complex algebraic curves. Modulo a universal multiplicative constant we prove the existence of a…
In this paper, we study the $L^{p}$-improving property for the maximal operators along a large class of curves of finite type in the plane with dilation set $E \subset [1,2]$. The $L^{p}$-improving region depends on the order of finite type…
We determine necessary conditions for ample divisors in arbitrary genus as well as for very ample divisors in genus 2 and 3. We also compute the intersection numbers $\lambda^9$ and $\lambda_{g-1}^3$ in genus 4. The latter number is…
We study the algebraic geometrical background of the Penner--Kontsevich matrix model with the potential $N\alpha \tr {\bigl(- \fr 12 \L X\L X +\log (1-X)+X\bigr)}$. We show that this model describes intersection indices of linear bundles on…
We develop explicit variational formulas for the $p(\cdot)$-modulus of curve families in symmetric domains of $\mathbb{R}^n$, under a log-H\"older continuous exponent $p\colon\Omega\to(1,\infty)$, where $\Omega$ is an open set. For annuli…
We study stable curves of arithmetic genus 2 which admit two morphisms of finite degree $p$, resp. $d$, onto smooth elliptic curves, with particular attention to the case $p$ prime.
We classify representations of the mapping class group of a surface of genus $g$ (with at most one puncture or boundary component) up to dimension $3g-3$. Any such representation is the direct sum of a representation in dimension $2g$ or…
The main characters of this paper are the moduli spaces $TM_{g,n}$ of rational tropical curves of genus $g$ with $n$ marked points, with $g\geq 2$. We reduce the study of the homotopy type of these spaces to the analysis of compact spaces…
We approximate intersection numbers $\big\langle \psi_1^{d_1}\cdots \psi_n^{d_n}\big\rangle_{g,n}$ on Deligne-Mumford's moduli space $\overline{\mathcal M}_{g,n}$ of genus $g$ stable complex curves with $n$ marked points by certain…
In this note we produce examples of converging sequences of Galois representations, and study some of their properties. Some of the results here are used in the preprint math.NT/0210296.
In this paper we study nonlocal nonlinear equations of fractional $(s,p)$-Laplacian type on $\mathbf{R}^n$. We show that the irregular boundary points for the Dirichlet problem can be divided into two disjoint classes: semiregular and…
