The role of integrable systems in string theory is discussed. We remind old examples of the correspondence between stringy partition functions or effective actions and integrable equations, based on effective application of the matrix model…

We analyze multi--matrix chain models. They can be considered as multi--component Toda lattice hierarchies subject to suitable coupling conditions. The extension of such models to include extra discrete states requires a weak form of…

We present the irregular matrix model which has contains $\mathcal{W}_3$ and Virasoro symmetry. The irregular matrix model is obtained using the colliding limit of the Toda field theories and produces the inner product between irregular…

In these lecture notes we review the various relations between intersection theory on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces, integrable hierarchies of KdV type, matrix models, and topological quantum field theories. We explain in particular…

We study a fully noncommutative generalisation of the commutative fourth Painlev\'e equation that possesses solutions in terms of an infinite Toda system over an associative unital division ring equipped by a derivation.

The q-Painleve equation, satisfied by the Fourier transform of the q-Virasoro conformal blocks at c=1, is interpreted as a reformulation of the string equation and two other Virasoro constraints in the $5d$ Dotsenko-Fateev matrix model.

We study a twistor correspondence based on the Joukowski map reduced from one for stationary-axisymmetric self-dual Yang-Mills and adapt it to the Painlev\'e III equation. A natural condition on the geometry (axissimplicity) leads to…

The formulation of integrable models with open boundary conditions and the functional relations of fused transfer matrices are discussed. It is shown that finite-size corrections to the transfer matrices and unitarity relations of free…

We show that the recently derived ($q$-) discrete form of the Painlev\'e VI equation can be related to the discrete P$_{\rm III}$, in particular if one uses the full freedom in the implementation of the singularity confinement criterion.…

We study topological and integrable aspects of $\hat{c}=1$ strings. We consider the circle line theories 0A and 0B at particular radii, and the super affine theories at their self-dual radii. We construct their ground rings, identify them…

We study the underlying relationship between Painleve equations and infinite-dimensional integrable systems, such as the KP and UC hierarchies. We show that a certain reduction of these hierarchies by requiring homogeneity and periodicity…

Echeverria recently introduced an invariant for a smoothly embedded torus in a homology $S^1\times S^3$, using gauge theory for singular connections. We define a new topological invariant of such an embedded torus, analogous to the…

This paper studies solutions to a singular $SU(3)$ Toda system with linear source terms on a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$ with smooth boundaries $\partial\Sigma$. We establish the existence of solutions when the parameters are not…

The discrete Painlev\'e I equation (dP$\rm_I$) is an integrable difference equation which has the classical first Painlev\'e equation (P$\rm_I$) as a continuum limit. dP$\rm_I$ is believed to be integrable because it is the discrete…

It is proved that the Painlev\'{e} VI equation $(PVI_{\al,\be,\ga,\de})$ for the special values of constants $(\al=\frac{\nu^2}{4},\be=-\frac{\nu^2}{4}, \ga=\frac{\nu^2}{4},\de=\f1{2}-\frac{\nu^2}{4})$ is a reduced hamiltonian system. Its…

We derive a Kontsevich-type matrix model for the c=1 string directly from the W-infinity solution of the theory. The model that we obtain is different from previous proposals, which are proven to be incorrect. Our matrix model contains the…

We propose that the grand canonical topological string partition functions satisfy finite-difference equations in the closed string moduli. In the case of genus one mirror curve these are conjectured to be the q-difference Painlev\'e…

In the work we use integral formulas for calculating the monodromy data for the Painlev\'e-2 equation. The perturbation theory for the auxiliary linear system is constructed and formulas for the variation of the monodromy data are obtained.…

We study the exact solution of quantum integrable system associated with the $A^{(2)}_3$ twist Lie algebra, where the boundary reflection matrices have non-diagonal elements thus the $U(1)$ symmetry is broken. With the help of the fusion…

$q,t$-deformed matrix models give rise to representations of the deformed Virasoro algebra and more generally of the quantum toroidal $\mathfrak{gl}_1$ algebra. These representations are described in terms of finite difference equations…
