Virasoro Constraints for Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchies and equations of Painlevé type

We construct a tau cover of the generalized Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchy associated to an arbitrary affine Kac-Moody algebra with gradations $\mathrm{s}\le\mathds{1}$ and derive its Virasoro symmetries. By imposing the Virasoro constraints we obtain solutions of the Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchy of Witten-Kontsevich and of Brezin-Gross-Witten types, and of those characterized by certain ordinary differential equations of Painlevé type. We also show the existence of affine Weyl group actions on solutions of such Painlevé type equations, which generalizes the theory of Noumi and Yamada on affine Weyl group symmetries of the Painlevé type equations.

The Loop Equation for Special Cubic Hodge Integrals

As the first step of proving the Hodge-FVH correspondence recently proposed in [19], we derive the Virasoro constraints and the Dubrovin--Zhang loop equation for special cubic Hodge integrals. We show that this loop equation has a unique solution, and provide a new algorithm for the computation of these Hodge integrals. We also observe the gap phenomenon for certain special cubic Hodge free energies.

The Hodge-FVH Correspondence

The Hodge-FVH correspondence establishes a relationship between the special cubic Hodge integrals and an integrable hierarchy, which is called the fractional Volterra hierarchy. In this paper we prove this correspondence. As an application of this result, we prove a gap condition for certain special cubic Hodge integrals and give an algorithm for computing the coefficients that appear in the gap condition.

Masur--Veech volumes of quadratic differentials and their asymptotics

Based on the Chen--Möller--Sauvaget formula, we apply the theory of integrable systems to derive three equations for the generating series of the Masur--Veech volumes ${\rm Vol} \, \mathcal{Q}_{g,n}$ associated with the principal strata of the moduli spaces of quadratic differentials, and propose refinements of the conjectural formulas given in [12,4] for the large genus asymptotics of ${\rm Vol} \, \mathcal{Q}_{g,n}$ and of the associated area Siegel--Veech constants.

Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchies and diagram automorphisms of affine Kac-Moody algebras

For a diagram automorphism of an affine Kac-Moody algebra such that the folded diagram is still an affine Dynkin diagram, we show that the associated Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchy also admits an induced automorphism. Then we show how to obtain the Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchy associated to the affine Kac-Moody algebra that corresponds to the folded Dynkin diagram from the invariant sub-hierarchy of the original Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchy.

Extended affine Weyl groups of BCD type, Frobenius manifolds and their Landau-Ginzburg superpotentials

For the root systems of type $B_l, C_l$ and $D_l$, we generalize the result of \cite{DZ1998} by showing the existence of Frobenius manifold structures on the orbit spaces of the extended affine Weyl groups that correspond to any vertex of the Dynkin diagram instead of a particular choice made in \cite{DZ1998}. It also depends on certain additional data. We also construct LG superpotentials for these Frobenius manifold structures.

Hodge-GUE correspondence and the discrete KdV equation

We prove the conjectural relationship recently proposed in [9] between certain special cubic Hodge integrals of the Gopakumar--Mariño--Vafa type [17, 28] and GUE correlators, and the conjecture proposed in [7] that the partition function of these Hodge integrals is a tau function of the discrete KdV hierarchy.

Fractional Volterra Hierarchy

The generating function of cubic Hodge integrals satisfying the local Calabi-Yau condition is conjectured to be a tau function of a new integrable system which can be regarded as a fractional generalization of the Volterra lattice hierarchy, so we name it the fractional Volterra hierarchy. In this paper, we give the definition of this integrable hierarchy in terms of Lax pair and Hamiltonian formalisms, construct its tau functions, and present its multi-soliton solutions.

BCFG Drinfeld-Sokolov Hierarchies and FJRW-Theory

According to the ADE Witten conjecture, which is proved by Fan, Jarvis and Ruan, the total descendant potential of the FJRW invariants of an ADE singularity is a tau function of the corresponding mirror ADE Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchy. In the present paper, we show that there is a finite group $Γ$ acting on a certain ADE singularity which induces an action on the corresponding FJRW-theory, and the $Γ$-invariant sector also satisfies the axioms of a cohomological field theory except the gluing loop axiom. On the other hand, we show that there is also a $Γ$-action on the mirror Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchy, and the $Γ$-invariant flows yield the BCFG Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchy. We prove that the total descendant potential of the $Γ$-invariant sector of a FJRW-theory is a tau function of the corresponding BCFG Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchy.

Hodge integrals and tau-symmetric integrable hierarchies of Hamiltonian evolutionary PDEs

For an arbitrary semisimple Frobenius manifold we construct Hodge integrable hierarchy of Hamiltonian partial differential equations. In the particular case of quantum cohomology the tau-function of a solution to the hierarchy generates the intersection numbers of the Gromov--Witten classes and their descendents along with the characteristic classes of Hodge bundles on the moduli spaces of stable maps. For the one-dimensional Frobenius manifold the Hodge hierarchy is a deformation of the Korteweg--de Vries hierarchy depending on an infinite number of parameters. Conjecturally this hierarchy is a universal object in the class of scalar Hamiltonian integrable hierarchies possessing tau-functions.

Uniqueness Theorem of W-Constraints for Simple Singularities

In a recent paper [3], Bakalov and Milanov proved that the total descendant potential of a simple singularity satisfies the W-constraints, which come from the W-algebra of the lattice vertex algebra associated to the root lattice of this singularity and a twisted module of this vertex algebra. In the present paper, we prove that the solution of these W-constraints is unique up to a constant factor, as conjectured by Bakalov and Milanov in their paper.

The Inversion Symmetry of the WDVV Equations and Tau Functions

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 are related by a Legendre type transformation. We also consider relationships between the Virasoro constraints and the topological deformations of the principal hierarchies.

Bihamiltonian Cohomologies and Integrable Hierarchies I: A Special Case

We present some general results on properties of the bihamiltonian cohomologies associated to bihamiltonian structures of hydrodynamic type, and compute the third cohomology for the bihamiltonian structure of the dispersionless KdV hierarchy. The result of the computation enables us to prove the existence of bihamiltonian deformations of the dispersionless KdV hierarchy starting from any of its infinitesimal deformations.

Proof of a Conjecture on the Genus Two Free Energy Associated to the A_n Singularity

In a recent paper [8], it is proved that the genus two free energy of an arbitrary semisimple Frobenius manifold can be represented as a sum of contributions associated with dual graphs of certain stable algebraic curves of genus two plus the so called genus two G-function, and for a certain class of Frobenius manifolds it is conjectured that the associated genus two G-function vanishes. In this paper, we prove this conjecture for the Frobenius manifolds associated with simple singularities of type A.

On the Genus Two Free Energies for Semisimple Frobenius Manifolds

We represent the genus two free energy of an arbitrary semisimple Frobenius manifold as a sum of contributions associated with dual graphs of certain stable algebraic curves of genus two plus the so-called "genus two G-function". Conjecturally the genus two G-function vanishes for a series of important examples of Frobenius manifolds associated with simple singularities as well as for ${\bf P}^1$-orbifolds with positive Euler characteristics. We explain the reasons for such Conjecture and prove it in certain particular cases.

On Symmetries of the WDVV Equations

For two solutions of the WDVV equations that are related by two types of symmetries of the equations given by Dubrovin, we show that the associated principal hierarchies of integrable systems are related by certain reciprocal transformation, and the tau functions of the hierarchies are either identical or related by a Legendre transformation. We also consider relationships between the Virasoro constraints and topological deformations of the principal hierarchies.
