    Simple Lax Description of the ILW Hierarchy

    Full text link
    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

    Riemannian F-Manifolds, Bi-Flat F-Manifolds, and Flat Pencils of Metrics

    Full text link
    In this paper, we study relations between various natural structures on F-manifolds. In particular, given an arbitrary Riemannian F-manifold, we present a construction of a canonical flat F-manifold associated to it. We also describe a construction of a canonical homogeneous Riemannian F-manifold associated to an arbitrary exact homogeneous flat pencil of metrics satisfying a certain non-degeneracy assumption. In the last part of the paper, we construct Legendre transformations for Riemannian F-manifolds

    DR/DZ equivalence conjecture and tautological relations

    Full text link
    We present a family of conjectural relations in the tautological ring of the moduli spaces of stable curves which implies the strong double ramification/Dubrovin–Zhang equivalence conjecture introduced by the authors with Dubrovin (Comm. Math. Phys. 363 (2018) 191–260). Our tautological relations have the form of an equality between two different families of tautological classes, only one of which involves the double ramification cycle. We prove that both families behave the same way upon pullback and pushforward with respect to forgetting a marked point. We also prove that our conjectural relations are true in genus 0 and 1 and also when first pushed forward from ˉMg,n+m to ˉMg,n and then restricted to Mg,n for any g,n,m≥0. Finally we show that, for semisimple CohFTs, the DR/DZ equivalence only depends on a subset of our relations, finite in each genus, which we prove for g≤2. As an application we find a new formula for the class λg as a linear combination of dual trees intersected with kappa- and psi-classes, and we check it for g≤3

    Recursion Relations for Double Ramification Hierarchies

    Full text link
    International audienceIn this paper we study various properties of the double ramification hierarchy, an integrable hierarchy of hamiltonian PDEs introduced in Buryak (Commun Math Phys 336(3): 1085-1107, 2015) using intersection theory of the double ramification cycle in the moduli space of stable curves. In particular, we prove a recursion formula that recovers the full hierarchy starting from just one of the Hamiltonians, the one associated to the first descendant of the unit of a cohomological field theory. Moreover, we introduce analogues of the topological recursion relations and the divisor equation both for the Hamiltonian densities and for the string solution of the double ramification hierarchy. This machinery is very efficient and we apply it to various computations for the trivial and Hodge cohomological field theories, and for the r-spin Witten's classes. Moreover, we prove the Miura equivalence between the double ramification hierarchy and the Dubrovin-Zhang hierarchy for the Gromov-Witten theory of the complex projective line (extended Toda hierarchy)

    Integrable systems of double ramification type

    Full text link
    In this paper we study various aspects of the double ramification (DR) hierarchy, introduced by the 1st author, and its quantization. We extend the notion of tau- symmetry to quantum integrable hierarchies and prove that the quantum DR hierarchy enjoys this property. We determine explicitly the genus 1 quantum correction and, as an application, compute completely the quantization of the 3- and 4-KdV hierarchies (the DR hierarchies for Witten’s 3- and 4-spin theories). We then focus on the recursion relation satisfied by the DR Hamiltonian densities and, abstracting from its geometric origin, we use it to characterize and construct a new family of quantum and classical integrable systems that we call of DR type, as they satisfy all of the main properties of the DR hierarchy. In the 2nd part, we obtain new insight towards the Miura equivalence conjecture between the DR and Dubrovin-Zhang (DZ) hierarchies, via a geometric interpretation of the correlators forming the DR tau-function. We then show that the candidate Miura transformation between the DR and DZ hierarchies (which we uniquely identified in our previous paper) indeed turns the DZ Poisson structure into the standard form. Eventually, we focus on integrable hierarchies associated with rank-1 cohomological field theories and their deformations, and we prove the DR/DZ equivalence conjecture up to genus 5 in this context

    Towards a description of the double ramification hierarchy for Witten's rr-spin class

    No full text
    v3: 26 pages (accepted in Journal de Math\'ematiques Pures et Appliqu\'ees)International audienceThe 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 rr-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=3,4,5r=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 rr-th Gelfand--Dickey hierarchy for r=3,4,5r=3,4,5

    Intersection numbers with Pixton's class and the noncommutative KdV hierarchy.

    Full text link
    The Pixton class is a nonhomogeneous cohomology class on the moduli space of stable curves M ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄g,n, with nontrivial terms in degree 0,2,4,...,2g, whose top degree part coincides with the double ramification cycle. In this paper, we prove our conjecture from a previous work, claiming that the generating series of intersection numbers of the Pixton class with monomials in the psi-classes gives a solution of the noncommutative KdV hierarchy

    Moduli spaces of residueless meromorphic differentials and the KP hierarchy.

    Full text link
    We prove that the cohomology classes of the moduli spaces of residueless meromorphic differentials, i.e., the closures, in the moduli space of stable curves, of the loci of smooth curves whose marked points are the zeros and poles of prescribed orders of a meromorphic differential with vanishing residues, form a partial cohomological field theory (CohFT) of infinite rank. To this partial CohFT we apply the double ramification hierarchy construction to produce a Hamiltonian system of evolutionary PDEs. We prove that its reduction to the case of differentials with exactly two zeros and any number of poles coincides with the KP hierarchy up to a change of variables

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
