This study presents miscellaneous properties of pseudo-factorials, which are numbers whose recurrence relation is a twisted form of that of usual factorials. These numbers are associated with special elliptic functions, most notably, a…
The partition function for unitary two matrix models is known to be a double KP tau-function, as well as providing solutions to the two dimensional Toda hierarchy. It is shown how it may also be viewed as a Borel sum regularization of…
The space of solutions of the rational Calogero-Moser hierarchy, and the space of solutions of the KP hierarchy whose tau functions are monic polynomials in $t_1$ with coefficients depending on $t_n$, $n > 1$, are identified, generalizing…
Let $(-A,B,C)$ be a linear system in continuous time $t>0$ with input and output space ${\bf C}$ and state space $H$. The function $\phi_{(x)}(t)=Ce^{-(t+2x)A}B$ determines a Hankel integral operator $\Gamma_{\phi_{(x)}}$ on $L^2((0, \infty…
A description of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms naturally arisen from the invariance structure of given nonlinear dynamical systems on the infinite--dimensional functional manifold is presented. The basic ideas used to formulate the…
Using the functional renormalization group, we study the depinning of elastic objects in presence of anisotropy. We explicitly demonstrate how the KPZ-term is always generated, even in the limit of vanishing velocity, except where excluded…
In this paper we express tau functions for the Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation, as Laplace transforms of iterated Skorohod integrals. Our main tool is the notion of Fredholm determinant of an integral operator. Our result extends the paper…
Explicit determinant formulas are presented for the $\tau$ functions of the generalized Painlev\'e equations of type $A$. This result allows an interpretation of the $\tau$-functions as the Pl\"ucker coordinates of the universal Grassmann…
Motivated by work of Buch on set-valued tableaux in relation to the K-theory of the Grassmannian, we study six combinatorial Hopf algebras. These Hopf algebras can be thought of as K-theoretic analogues of the by now classical ``square'' of…
We use the explicit relation between genus filtrated $s$-loop means of the Gaussian matrix model and terms of the genus expansion of the Kontsevich--Penner matrix model (KPMM), which is the generating function for volumes of discretized…
The $u$-plane integrals of topologically twisted $N = 2$ supersymmetric gauge theories generally contain contact terms of nonlocal topological observables. This paper proposes an interpretation of these contact terms from the point of view…
In this article, we show that four sets of differential Fay identities of an $N$-component KP hierarchy derived from the bilinear relation satisfied by the tau function of the hierarchy are sufficient to derive the auxiliary linear…
The relation between the Seiberg-Witten prepotentials, Nekrasov functions and matrix models is discussed. We derive quasiclassically the matrix models of Eguchi-Yang type, describing the instantonic contribution to the deformed partition…
In this paper, we construct the additional flows of the noncommutative Kadomtsev-Petviashvili(KP) hierarchy and the additional symmetry flows constitute an infinite dimensional Lie algebra $W_{1+\infty}$. In addition, the generating…
This paper studies Manin-Radul supersymmetric KP hierarchy (MR-SKP) in three related aspects: (i) We find an infinite set of additional (``ghost'') symmetry flows spanning the same (anti-)commutation algebra as the ordinary MR-SKP flows;…
Given a tau-function $\tau(t)$ of the BKP hierarchy satisfying $\tau(0)=1$, we discuss the relation between its BKP-affine coordinates on the isotropic Sato Grassmannian and its BKP-wave function. Using this result, we formulate a type of…
The paper has two relatively distinct but connected goals; the first is to define the notion of Pad\'e\ approximation of Weyl-Stiltjes transforms on an arbitrary compact Riemann surface of higher genus. The data consists of a contour in the…
We present the Lax pair formalism for certain extension of the continuous limit of the classical Toda lattice hierarchy, provide a well defined notion of tau function for its solutions, and give an explicit formulation of the relationship…
First we introduce the two tau-functions which appeared either as the $\tau$-function of the integrable hierarchy governing the Riemann mapping of Jordan curves or in conformal field theory and the universal Grassmannian. Then we discuss…
The solutions of a large class of hierarchies of zero-curvature equations that includes Toda and KdV type hierarchies are investigated. All these hierarchies are constructed from affine (twisted or untwisted) Kac-Moody algebras~$\ggg$.…
