We give a general method to compute the expansion of topological tau functions for Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchies associated to an arbitrary untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebra. Our method consists of two main steps: first these tau functions…
We study the tau function of the KP-hierarchy associated with an (n,1) curve $y^n=x-\alpha$. If $\alpha=0$ the corresponding tau function is 1. On the other hand if $\alpha\neq 0$ the tau function becomes the exponential of a quadratic…
$Q$-systems and $T$-systems are systems of integrable difference equations that have recently attracted much attention, and have wide applications in representation theory and statistical mechanics. We show that certain $\tau$-functions,…
The equivalence between the approaches of Drinfeld-Sokolov and Feigin-Frenkel to the mKdV hierarchies is established. A new derivation of the mKdV equations in the zero curvature form is given. Connection with the Baker-Akhiezer function…
We show that conformal maps of simply connected domains with an analytic boundary to a unit disk have an intimate relation to the dispersionless 2D Toda integrable hierarchy. The maps are determined by a particular solution to the hierarchy…
We extend a recent result of [13] for the KdV hierarchy to the Toda lattice hierarchy. Namely, for an arbitrary solution to the Toda lattice hierarchy, we define a pair of wave functions, and use them to give explicit formulae for the…
We consider integrals of tau functions of Zakharov-Shabat systems whose higher times are related to the eigenvalues of products of random matrices. Apart of random matrices there is the set of $n$ pairs of given matrices which play the role…
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.
We use a Grassmannian framework to define multi-component tau functions as expectation values of certain multi-component Fermi operators satisfying simple bilinear commutation relations on Clifford algebra. The tau functions contain both…
Sato introduced the tau-function to describe solutions to a wide class of completely integrable differential equations. Later Segal-Wilson represented it in terms of the relevant integral operators on Hardy space of the unit disc. This…
We define generalized Li coefficients, called $\tau-$Li coefficients for a very broad class $\mathcal{S}^{\sharp \flat }(\sigma_0, \sigma_1)$ of $L-$functions that contains the Selberg class, the class of all automorphic $L-$functions and…
In this series of lectures, we (re)view the "geometric method" that reconstructs, from a geometric object: the "spectral curve", an integrable system, and in particular its Tau function, Baker-Akhiezer functions and "current amplitudes",…
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…
Partition functions often become \tau-functions of integrable hierarchies, if they are considered dependent on infinite sets of parameters called time variables. The Hurwitz partition functions Z = \sum_R…
For two solutions of the WDVV equations that are related by the inversion symmetry, we show that the associated principal hierarchies of integrable systems are related by a reciprocal transformation, and the tau functions of the hierarchies…
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 discuss the generic definition of the $\tau$ function for the arbitrary Hamiltonian system. The different approaches concerning the deformations of the curves and surfaces are compared. It is shown that the Baker-Akhiezer function for…
In this paper we continue the study of the double ramification hierarchy of [Bur15]. After showing that the DR hierarchy satisfies tau-symmetry we define its partition function as the (logarithm of the) tau-function of the string solution…
We introduce a useful and rather simple classes of BKP tau functions which which we shall shall call "easy tau functions". We consider the "large BKP hiearchy" related to $O(2\infty +1)$ which was introduced in \cite{KvdLbispec} (which is…
The integrable structure, recently revealed in some classical problems of the theory of functions in one complex variable, is discussed. Given a simply connected domain in the complex plane, bounded by a simple analytic curve, we consider…
