Symplectic invariants introduced in math-ph/0702045 can be computed for an arbitrary spectral curve. For some examples of spectral curves, those invariants can solve loop equations of matrix integrals, and many problems of enumerative…
We exhibit the Kontsevich matrix model with arbitrary potential as a BKP tau-function with respect to polynomial deformations of the potential. The result can be equivalently formulated in terms of Cartan-Pl\"ucker relations of certain…
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…
A two-dimensional topological sigma-model on a generalized Calabi-Yau target space $X$ is defined. The model is constructed in Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism using only a generalized complex structure $J$ and a pure spinor $\rho$ on $X$. In…
We develop a theory of R-module Thom spectra for a commutative symmetric ring spectrum R and we analyze their multiplicative properties. As an interesting source of examples, we show that R-algebra Thom spectra associated to the special…
The analogue of Kontsevich's matrix Airy function, with the cubic potential $\operatorname{Tr}\big(\Phi^3\big)$ replaced by a quartic term $\operatorname{Tr}\big(\Phi^4\big)$ with the same covariance, provides a toy model for quantum field…
The generalized Kontsevich model (GKM) is a one-matrix model with arbitrary potential. Its partition function belongs to the KP hierarchy. When the potential is monomial, it is an $r$-reduced tau-function that governs the $r$-spin…
In this paper, we directly derive generalized mirror transformation of projective hypersurfaces up to degree 3 genus 0 Gromov-Witten invariants by comparing Kontsevich localization formula with residue integral representation of the virtual…
In the formulation of his celebrated Formality conjecture, M. Kontsevich introduced a universal version of the deformation theory for the Schouten algebra of polyvector fields on affine manifolds. This universal deformation complex takes…
For any (possibly singular) hyperelliptic curve, we give the definition of a hyperelliptic refined spectral curve and the hyperelliptic refined topological recursion, generalising the formulation for a special class of genus-zero curves by…
Simple boundary expressions for the k-th power of the cotangent line class on the moduli space of stable 1-pointed genus g curves are found for k >= 2g. The method is by virtual localization on the moduli space of maps to the projective…
We explore a strong categorical correspondence between isomorphism classes of sheaves of arbitrary rank on a given algebraic curve and twisted pairs on another algebraic curve, mostly from a linear-algebraic standpoint. In a particular…
In this thesis, we give a definition of topological K-theory of Kontsevich's noncommutative spaces (ie dg-categories) defined over the complex. The main motivation comes from noncommutative Hodge structures in the sense of…
In this paper we introduce generalised Markov numbers and extend the classical Markov theory for the discrete Markov spectrum to the case of generalised Markov numbers. In particular we show recursive properties for these numbers and find…
We review some algebraic and combinatorial structures that underlie models in the KPZ universality class.Emphasis is placed on the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence and its geometric lifting due to A.N.Kirillov. We present how these…
We obtain in closed form averages of polynomials, taken over hermitian matrices with the Gaussian measure involved in the Kontsevich integral, and prove a conjecture of Witten enabling one to express analogous averages with the full (cubic…
We study the relation between topological string theory and singularity theory using the partition function of $A_{N-1}$ topological string defined by matrix integral of Kontsevich type. Genus expansion of the free energy is considered, and…

Generalized probabilistic theories (GPT) provide a general framework that includes classical and quantum theories. It is described by a cone $C$ and its dual $C^*$. We show that whether some one-way communication complexity problems can be…
Generalized cycles can be thought of as the extension of form-cycle duality between holomorphic forms and cycles, to meromorphic forms and generalized cycles. They appeared as an ubiquitous tool in the study of spectral curves and…
