Classically, a single weight on an interval of the real line leads to moments, orthogonal polynomials and tridiagonal matrices. Appropriately deforming this weight with times t=(t_1,t_2,...), leads to the standard Toda lattice and…
We extend the theory of topological recursion by considering Airy structures whose partition functions are highest weight vectors of particular $\mathcal{W}$-algebra representations. Such highest weight vectors arise as partition functions…
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 consider solvable matrix models. We generalize Harish-Chandra-Itzykson-Zuber and certain other integrals (Gross-Witten integral and integrals over complex matrices) using the notion of tau function of matrix argument. In this case one…
We present the multi-matrix models that are the generating functions for branched covers of the complex projective line ramified over $n$ fixed points $z_i$, $i=1,\dots,n$, (generalized Grotendieck's dessins d'enfants) of fixed genus,…
We consider the pull-back of a natural sequence of cohomology classes $\Theta_{g,n}\in H^{2(2g-2+n)}(\overline{\cal M}_{g,n})$ to the moduli space of stable maps ${\cal M}^g_n(\mathbb{P}^1,d)$. These classes are related to the…
We describe Zhu recursion for a vertex operator algebra (VOA) and its modules on a genus $g$ Riemann surface in the Schottky uniformisation. We show that $n$-point (intertwiner) correlation functions are written as linear combinations of…
Orthogonal Laurent polynomials in the unit circle and the theory of Toda-like integrable systems are connected using the Gauss--Borel factorization of a Cantero-Moral-Velazquez moment matrix, which is constructed in terms of a complex…
We consider the Topological String/Spectral theory duality on toric Calabi-Yau threefolds obtained from the resolution of the cone over the $Y^{N,0}$ singularity. Assuming Kyiv formula, we demonstrate this duality in a special regime thanks…
We study the $(1,q=-1)$ model coupled to topological gravity as a candidate to describing $2d$ string theory at the self-dual radius. We define the model by analytical continuation of $q>1$ topological recursion relations to $q=-1$. We show…
Computing topological invariants of 3-manifolds is generally intractable, yet specialized algebraic structures can enable efficient algorithms. For Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev (WRT) invariants of torus bundles, we exploit the non-commutative…
A decomposition of a higher order linear differential operator with polynomial coefficients into a direct sum of two factor operators is obtained. This leads to a lower echelon matrix representation for operators of the above mentioned type…
Orbifold generalizations of the ordinary and modified melting crystal models are introduced. They are labelled by a pair $a,b$ of positive integers, and geometrically related to $\mathbf{Z}_a\times\mathbf{Z}_b$ orbifolds of local…
We discuss the recurrence coefficients of orthogonal polynomials with respect to a generalised sextic Freud weight \[\omega(x;t,\lambda)=|x|^{2\lambda+1}\exp\left(-x^6+tx^2\right),\qquad x\in\mathbb{R},\] with parameters $\lambda>-1$ and…
We give an Eynard-Orantin type topological recursion formula for the canonical Euclidean volume of the combinatorial moduli space of pointed smooth algebraic curves. The recursion comes from the edge removal operation on the space of ribbon…
One of the most important applications of topological recursion concerns spectral curves for which the functions $(x,y)$ defining the spectral curve are allowed to have logarithmic singularities. This occurs for instance for Seiberg-Witten…
In this paper we prove a mirror symmetry conjecture based on the work of Brini-Eynard-Mari\~no \cite{BEM} and Diaconescu-Shende-Vafa \cite{DSV}. This conjecture relates open Gromov-Witten invariants of the conifold transition of a torus…
We study orbifolds of two-dimensional topological field theories using defects. If the TFT arises as the twist of a superconformal field theory, we recover results on the Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond sectors of the orbifold theory as well as…
We discuss the relationship between the recurrence coefficients of orthogonal polynomials with respect to a generalized Freud weight \[w(x;t)=|x|^{2\lambda+1}\exp\left(-x^4+tx^2\right),\qquad x\in\mathbb{R},\] with parameters $\lambda>-1$…
Using the representation theory of $\frak{gl}(N,\RR)$, we express the wave function of the $GL(N,\RR)$ Toda chain, which two of us recently obtained by the Quantum Inverse Scattering Method, in terms of multiple integrals. The main tool is…
