Inspired by Okounkov's work [\emph{Selecta Mathematica}, 7(1):57--81, 2001] which relates KP hierarchy to determinant point process, we establish a relationship between BKP hierarchy and Pfaffian point process. We prove that the correlation…

We investigate the Brezin-Gross-Witten model, a tau-function of the KdV hierarchy, and its natural one-parameter deformation, the generalized Brezin-Gross-Witten tau-function. In particular, we derive the Virasoro constraints, which…

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,…

It is well known that tau functions of the KP hierarchy satisfy addition formulas. We consider the general addition formula in the determinant form and take a certain limit of it. It expresses certain shifts of a tau function in terms of…

Let $r\geq 2$ be an integer. The generalized BGW tau-function for the Gelfand--Dickey hierarchy of $(r-1)$ dependent variables (aka the $r$-reduced KP hierarchy) is defined as a particular tau-function that depends on $(r-1)$ constant…

Based on the matrix-resolvent approach, for an arbitrary solution to the discrete KdV hierarchy, we define the tau-function of the solution, and compare it with another tau-function of the solution defined via reduction of the Toda lattice…

We review various aspects of integrable hierarchies appearing in N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories. In particular, we show that the blowup function in Donaldson-Witten theory, up to a redefinition of the fast times, is a tau function for a…

We present a unified fermionic approach to compute the tau-functions and the n-point functions of integrable hierarchies related to some infinite-dimensional Lie algebras and their representations.

In this paper, we prove the existence of tau functions of the discrete modified KP hierarchy and define the squared eigenfunction symmetry. Meanwhile, the Fay identity with its difference form, the squared eigenfunction potentials and the…

By using pseudo-differential operators containing two derivations, we extend the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy to a certain KP-mKP hierarchy. For the KP-mKP hierarchy, we obtain its B\"{a}cklund transformations, bilinear equations…

In this paper, we extend the matrix-resolvent method to the study of the Dubrovin--Zhang type tau-functions for the constrained KP hierarchy and the bigraded Toda hierarchy of $(M,1)$-type. We show that the Dubrovin--Zhang type tau-function…

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…

In this paper, we investigate a series of W-type differential operators, which appear naturally in the symmetry algebras of KP and BKP hierarchies. In particular, they include all operators in the W-constraints for tau functions of higher…

We present exactly solvable modifications of the two-matrix Zinn-Justin-Zuber model and write it as a tau function. The grand partition function of these matrix integrals is written as the fermion expectation value. The perturbation theory…

In this work we study the tau-function $Z^{1D}$ of the KP hierarchy specified by the topological 1D gravity. As an application, we present two types of algorithms to compute the orbifold Euler characteristics of $\overline{\mathcal…

We consider KP tau function of hypergeometric type $\tau({\bf t},T,{\bf t}^*)$, where the set ${\bf t}$ is the KP higher times and $T,{\bf t}^*$ are sets of parameters. Fixing ${\bf t}^*$, we find that $\tau({\bf t},T,{\bf t}^*)$ is an…
