We construct a new local Poisson bracket compatible with the second unconstrained Adler-Gelfand-Dickey bracket. The resulting bihamiltonian structure admits a dispersionless limit and the leading term defines a logarithmic…

We construct a flat holomorphic line bundle over a connected component of the Hurwitz space of branched coverings of the Riemann sphere. A flat holomorphic connection defining the bundle is described in terms of the invariant Wirtinger…

We prove that the associativity equations of two-dimensional topological quantum field theories are very natural reductions of the fundamental nonlinear equations of the theory of submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean spaces and give a natural…

Discrete gauge groups naturally arise in F-theory compactifications on genus-one fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds. Such geometries appear in families that are parameterized by the Tate-Shafarevich group of the genus-one fibration. While the…

A polynomial P in n complex variables is said to have the "half-plane property" (or Hurwitz property) if it is nonvanishing whenever all the variables lie in the open right half-plane. Such polynomials arise in combinatorics, reliability…

We develop the theory of Whitham type hierarchies integrable by hydrodynamic reductions as a theory of certain differential-geometric objects. As an application we construct Gibbons-Tsarev systems associated to moduli space of algebraic…

Semisimple Dubrovin-Frobenius manifolds can be used to construct integrable hierarchies, following the work of Dubrovin-Zhang and Buryak. Examples of such hierarchies include the Kac-Wakimoto hierarchies, the KP hierarchy, among others. In…

Rabinowitz-Floer homology is the Morse-Bott homology in the sense of Floer associated with the Rabinowitz action functional introduced by Kai Cieliebak and Urs Frauenfelder in 2009. In this manuscript, we consider a generalisation of this…

We classify Frobenius forms, a special class of homogeneous polynomials in characteristic $p>0$, in up to five variables over an algebraically closed field. We also point out some of the similarities with quadratic forms.

We prove the integrability and superintegrability of a family of natural Hamiltonians which includes and generalises those studied in some literature, originally defined on the 2D Minkowski space. Some of the new Hamiltonians are a perfect…

This paper examines the simplest case of total differential equations that appears in the theory of foliation structures, without imposing the smoothness assumptions. This leads to a peculiar asymmetry in the differentiability of solutions.…

The hybrid model is the Landau-Ginszburg-type theory that is expected, via the Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau correspondence, to match the Gromov-Witten theory of a complete intersection in weighted projective space. We prove a wall-crossing…

We extend results by Mirzakhani in [Mir07] to moduli spaces of Hurwitz covers. In particular we obtain equations relating Weil-Petersson volumes of moduli spaces of Hurwitz covers, Hurwitz numbers and certain Hurwitz cycles on…

We describe genus g>1 potentials of semisimple Frobenius structures. Our formula can be considered as a definition in the axiomatic context of Frobenius manifolds. In Gromov-Witten theory, it becomes a conjecture expressing higher genus…

The genus-1 KP-Whitham system is derived for both variants of the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation (namely, the KPI and KPII equations). The basic properties of the KP-Whitham system, including symmetries, exact reductions, and its…

For a class of Riemannian manifolds that include products of arbitrary compact manifolds with manifolds of nonpositive sectional curvature on the one hand, or with certain positive-curvature examples such as spheres of dimension at least 3…

This is a survey of the current state of the theory of $F$--(super)manifolds $(M,\circ)$, first defined in [HeMa] and further developed in [He], [Ma2], [Me1]. Here $\circ$ is an $\Cal{O}_M$--bilinear multiplication on the tangent sheaf…

We give a uniform, Lie-theoretic mirror symmetry construction for the Frobenius manifolds defined by Dubrovin-Zhang in arXiv:hep-th/9611200 on the orbit spaces of extended affine Weyl groups, including exceptional Dynkin types. The B-model…

Simple Hurwitz numbers enumerate branched morphisms between Riemann surfaces with fixed ramification data. In recent years, several variants of this notion for genus $0$ base curves have appeared in the literature. Among them are so-called…

We show that, under Dubrovin's notion of ''almost'' duality, the Frobenius manifold structure on the orbit spaces of the extended affine Weyl groups of type $\mathrm{ADE}$ is dual, for suitable choices of weight markings, to the equivariant…
