We enumerate smooth rational curves on very general Weierstrass fibrations over hypersurfaces in projective space. The generating functions for these numbers lie in the ring of classical modular forms. The method of proof uses topological…

The tau function corresponding to the affine ring of a certain plane algebraic curve, called (n,s)-curve, embedded in the universal Grassmann manifold is studied. It is neatly expressed by the multivariate sigma function. This expression is…

We describe a supersymmetric generalization of the construction of Kontsevich and Arbarello, De Concini, Kac, and Procesi, which utilizes a relation between the moduli space of curves with the infinite-dimensional Sato Grassmannian. Our…

Let $X$ be a non-compact geometrically finite hyperbolic 3-manifold without cusps of rank 1. The deformation space $\mc{H}$ of $X$ can be identified with the Teichm\"uller space $\mc{T}$ of the conformal boundary of $X$ as the graph of a…

This article deals with computing the cohomology of Schur functors applied to tautological bundles on super Grassmannians. We show that in a range of cases, the cohomology is a free module over the cohomology of the structure sheaf and that…

In this paper we establish relations between three enumerative geometry tau-functions, namely the Kontsevich-Witten, Hurwitz and Hodge tau-functions. The relations allow us to describe the tau-functions in terms of matrix integrals,…

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 study the classical Liouville field theory on Riemann surfaces of genus $g>1$ in the presence of vertex operators associated with branch points of orders $m_i>1$. In order to do so, we consider the generalized Schottky space…

Let ${\mathcal B}_g(r)$ be the moduli space of triples of the form $(X,\, K^{1/2}_X,\, F)$, where $X$ is a compact connected Riemann surface of genus $g$, with $g\, \geq\, 2$, $K^{1/2}_X$ is a theta characteristic on $X$, and $F$ is a…
