The Hodge tau-function is a generating function for the linear Hodge integrals. It is also a tau-function of the KP hierarchy. In this paper, we first present the Virasoro constraints for the Hodge tau-function in the explicit form of the…
A new description of the universal Whitham hierarchy in terms of a factorization problem in the Lie group of canonical transformations is provided. This scheme allows us to give a natural description of dressing transformations, string…
A general scheme for analyzing reductions of Whitham hierarchies is presented. It is based on a method for determining the $S$-function by means of a system of first order partial differential equations. Compatibility systems of…
A scheme for solving quasiclassical string equations is developped to prove that genus-zero Whitham hierarchies describe the deformations of planar domains determined by rational conformal maps. This property is applied in normal matrix…
A class of exact solutions of the dispersionless Toda hierarchy constrained by a string equation is obtained. These solutions represent deformations of analytic curves with a finite number of nonzero harmonic moments. The corresponding…
We describe a geometric theory of Virasoro constraints in generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchies. Solutions of Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchies are succinctly described by giving a principal bundle on a complex curve together with the data of…
Solutions of the Riemann-Hilbert problem implementing the twistorial structure of the dispersionless Toda (dToda) hierarchy are obtained. Two types of string equations are considered which characterize solutions arising in hodograph sectors…
In this paper, a new approach to string dynamics is proposed. String coordinates are identified with a non-commuting set of operators familiar from free string quantization, and the dynamics follows from the Virasoro algebra. There is a…
As in the first part of this paper (hep-th 9204092), solutions to a string equation are regarded as fixed points of some additional symmetries of a hierarchy of integrable equations. In this part matrix hierarchies are studied: the…
We will describe algebro-geometric solutions of the KdV hierarchy whose $\tau$-functions in addition satisfy a generalization of the Virasoro constraints (and, in particular, a generalization of the string equation). We show that these…
The universal Witham hierarchy is considered from the point of view of topological field theories. The $\tau$-function for this hierarchy is defined. It is proved that the algebraic orbits of Whitham hierarchy can be identified with various…
Hadron dynamics is formulated in terms of interacting composite strings. Consistent composite string model with extended Virasoro superconformal symmetry is found. These composite strings carry flavour and chiral degrees of freedom on…
We define a tau function for a generic Riemann-Hilbert problem posed on a union of non-intersecting smooth closed curves with jump matrices analytic in their neighborhood. The tau function depends on parameters of the jumps and is expressed…
For an arbitrary $p$, propose a new and computable method which can determine the values of unknown constants in constraints on a tau function which satisfies both the p-reduced KP hierarchy and the sting equation. All the constants do not…
An extension of Riewe's fractional Hamiltonian formulation is presented for fractional constrained systems. The conditions of consistency of the set of constraints with equations of motion are investigated. Three examples of fractional…
We review some of the recent developments in the construction of $W$-string theories. These are generalisations of ordinary strings in which the two-dimensional ``worldsheet'' theory, instead of being a gauging of the Virasoro algebra, is a…
Based on the matrix-resolvent approach, for an arbitrary solution to the discrete KdV hierarchy, we define the tau-function of the solution, and compare it with another tau-function of the solution defined via reduction of the Toda lattice…
Give a convenient new approach to obtain the algebraic constraints on tau functions of p-reduced KP with the constraints of string equation. The classical results about algebraic constraints on associated tau function are included.
It is shown that in a rational conformal field theory every torus one-point function of a given highest weight state satisfies a modular differential equation. We derive and solve these differential equations explicitly for some Virasoro…
We discuss various aspects of most general multisupport solutions to matrix models in the presence of hard walls, i.e., in the case where the eigenvalue support is confined to subdomains of the real axis. The structure of the solution at…
