In this note we present a simple Lax description of the hierarchy of the intermediate long wave equation (ILW hierarchy). Although the linear inverse scattering problem for the ILW equation itself was well known, here we give an explicit expression for all higher flows and their Hamiltonian structure in terms of a single Lax difference-differential operator.
A study of the intersection theory on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundary was recently initiated in a work of R. Pandharipande, J. P. Solomon and the third author, where they introduced open intersection numbers in genus 0. Their construction was later generalized to all genera by J. P. Solomon and the third author. In this paper we consider a refinement of the open intersection numbers by distinguishing contributions from surfaces with different numbers of boundary components, and we calculate all these numbers. We then construct a matrix model for the generating series of the refined open intersection numbers and conjecture that it is equivalent to the Kontsevich-Penner matrix model. An evidence for the conjecture is presented. Another refinement of the open intersection numbers, which describes the distribution of the boundary marked points on the boundary components, is also discussed.
In this paper, using the formula for the integrals of the $ψ$-classes over the double ramification cycles found by S. Shadrin, L. Spitz, D. Zvonkine and the author, we derive a new explicit formula for the $n$-point function of the intersection numbers on the moduli space of curves.
The double ramification hierarchy is a new integrable hierarchy of hamiltonian PDEs introduced recently by the first author. It is associated to an arbitrary given cohomological field theory. In this paper we study the double ramification hierarchy associated to the cohomological field theory formed by Witten's $r$-spin classes. Using the formula for the product of the top Chern class of the Hodge bundle with Witten's class, found by the second author, we present an effective method for a computation of the double ramification hierarchy. We do explicit computations for $r=3,4,5$ and prove that the double ramification hierarchy is Miura equivalent to the corresponding Dubrovin--Zhang hierarchy. As an application, this result together with a recent work of the first author with Paolo Rossi gives a quantization of the $r$-th Gelfand--Dickey hierarchy for $r=3,4,5$.
