DESCRIPTION:Title: A
noncommutative generalization of Witten's conjecture\nby Alexander Bu
ryak (HSE Moscow) as part of IBS-CGP Mathematical Physics Seminar\n\n\nAbs
tract\nThe classical Witten conjecture says that the generating series of
integrals over the moduli spaces of curves of monomials in the psi-classes
is a solution of the Korteweg - de Vries (KdV) hierarchy. Together with P
aolo Rossi\, we present the following generalization of Witten's conjectur
e. On one side\, let us deform Witten's generating series by inserting in
the integrals certain naturally defined cohomology classes\, the so-called
double ramification cycles. It turns out that the resulting generating se
ries is conjecturally a solution of a noncommutative KdV hierarchy\, where
one spatial variable is replaced by two spatial variables and the usual m
ultiplication of functions is replaced by the noncommutative Moyal multipl
ication in the space of functions of two variables.\n

arboux coordinates for symplectic groupoid and cluster algebras\nby Le

) as part of IBS-CGP Mathematical Physics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe talk
is based on Arxiv:2003:07499\, joint work with Misha Shapiro. I will start
with a short elementary excursion into cluster algebras---a fascinating b
ranch of modern algebra introduced by Fomin and Zelvinsky in 2000's---and
describe planar directed networks. We then concentrate on another interes
ting algebraic object---the $\\mathcal A_n$ groupoid of upper-triangular m
atrices\, which has had many appearances in studies of algebras of monodro
mies of $SL_2$ Fuchsian systems and in geometry\, including the celebrated
Goldman bracket. I will show how we can use Fock--Goncharov higher Teichm
\\"uller space variables to derive canonical (Darboux) coordinate represe
ntation for entries of general symplectic leaves of the $\\mathcal A_n$ gr
oupoid and\, in a more general setting\, of higher-dimensional symplectic
leaves for algebras governed by the quantum reflection equation with the t
rigonometric $R$-matrix. For the groupoid of upper-triangular matrices\, w
e represent braid-group transformations via sequences of cluster mutations
in the special $\\mathbb A_n$-quiver. Time permitting\, I will also descr
ibe a generalization of this construction to affine Lie-Poisson algebras a

DESCRIPTION:Title: Q
uenched free energy from spacetime D-branes\nby Kazumi Okuyama (Shinsh
u University) as part of IBS-CGP Mathematical Physics Seminar\n\n\nAbstrac
t\nWe propose a useful integral representation of the quenched free energy
which is applicable to any random systems. Our formula involves the gener
ating function of multi-boundary correlators\, which can be interpreted on
the bulk gravity side as spacetime D-branes introduced by Marolf and Maxf
ield in [arXiv:2002.08950]. As an example\, we apply our formalism to the
Airy limit of the random matrix model and compute its quenched free energy
under certain approximations of the generating function of correlators. I
t turns out that the resulting quenched free energy is a monotonically dec
reasing function of the temperature\, as expected.\n

oop equations and integrable hierarchies for special cubic Hodge integrals
\nby Di Yang (University of Science and Technology of China) as part o
f IBS-CGP Mathematical Physics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nBy using the Virasor
o constraints we derive the loop equations for the cubic Hodge partition f
unction with three parameters p\,q\,r satisfying the Calabi-Yau condition
pq + qr + rp = 0. We then show that the Hodge integrable hierarchy associa
ted to the special cubic Hodge integrals is normal Miura equivalent to the
fractional Volterra hierarchy. In the procedure of the proof\, a particul
ar tau-function for the fractional Volterra hierarchy is constructed\, whi
ch we call the topological tau-function. Finally\, when one of the three p
arameters p\,q\,r is equal to 1\, we prove a certain gap condition for the
logarithm of the topological tau-function. The talk is based on joint wor
ks with Si-Qi Liu\, Youjin Zhang and Chunhui Zhou.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: E
numerative geometry via the moduli space of super Riemann surfaces\nby
Paul Norbury (University of Melbourne) as part of IBS-CGP Mathematical Ph
ysics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nMumford initiated the calculation of many alg
ebraic topological invariants over the moduli space of Riemann surfaces in
the 1980s\, and Witten related these invariants to two dimensional gravit
y in the 1990s. This viewpoint led Wittento a conjecture\, proven by Konts
evich\, that a generating function for intersection numbers on the moduli
space of curves is a tau function of the KdV hierarchy\, now known as the
Kontsevich-Witten tau function\, which allowed their evaluation. In 2004\,
Mirzakhaniproduced another proof of Witten's conjecture via the study of
Weil-Petersson volumes of the moduli space using hyperbolic geometry. In t
his lecture I will describe a new collection of integrals over the moduli
space of Riemann surfaces whose generating functionis a tau function of th
e KdV hierarchy\, known as the Brezin-Gross-Witten tau function. I will sk
etch a proof of this result that uses an analogue of Mirzakhani's argument
applied to the moduli space of super Riemann surfaces - defined by replac
ing the fieldof complex numbers with a Grassman algebra - which uses recen
t work of Stanford and Witten. This appearance of the moduli space of supe
r Riemann surfaces to solve a problem over the classical moduli space is d
eep and surprising.\n

New exact results for open enumerative invariants\nby Sergei Gukov (Ca
ltech) as part of IBS-CGP Mathematical Physics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nProb
lems that involve bordered pseudoholomorphic curves with boundary on a Lag
rangian submanifold in a Calabi-Yau 3-fold are usually called "open enumer
ative invariants." The analysis involved in such problems is extremely ric
h and interesting\, which makes the study of open enumerative invariants c
hallenging and complicated. Yet\, over the past 30 years a lot of progress
has been made\, in part due to various "dualities" --- such as mirror sym
metry --- that relate open enumerative problems to questions in other area
s of mathematics. After a short survey of past developments\, I will prese
nt a new class of Calabi-Yau 3-folds with Lagrangian submanifolds where th
e problem can be solved completely thanks to a new connection with quantum
groups at generic values of the parameter q.\n

Fluxes\, Holomorphic Anomalies and Elliptic Genera in d=4\nby Wolfgang
Lerche (CERN) as part of IBS-CGP Mathematical Physics Seminar\n\n\nAbstra
ct\nMotivated by tests of Weak Gravity Conjectures\, we investigate proper
ties of elliptic genera of string theories that arise in large distance li
mits of the moduli space of F-theory compactifications. This allows for a
non-perturbative definition of elliptic genera that goes beyond the ordina
ry world-sheet description. While this construction has been known for six
-dimensional theories\, we find the four-dimensional variant to be surpris
ingly complex. The essential new ingredient is background fluxes\, and the
se lead to different sectors of the elliptic genus with different modular
properties. Crucial is the appearance of derivatives which leads to novel
modular (and hence\, holomorphic) anomalies that are much worse than expec
ted. We also give a physical interpretation of these phenomena.\n

On the rationality of MUMs and 2-functions\nby Johannes Walcher (Heide
lberg University) as part of IBS-CGP Mathematical Physics Seminar\n\n\nAbs
tract\nPoints of maximal unipotent monodromy in Calabi-Yau moduli space pl
ay a central role in mirror symmetry\, and also harbor some interesting ar
ithmetic. In the classic examples\, suitable expansion coefficients of the
(all-genus) prepotential (in polylogarithms) under the mirror map are int
egers with an enumerative interpretation on the mirror manifold. This corr
espondence should be expected to extend to periods relative to algebraic c
ycles capturing the enumerative geometry relative to Lagrangian submanifol
ds. This expectation is challenged\, however\, when the mixed degeneration
is not defined over Q. After musing about compatibility with mirror symme
try\, I will discuss two recent results that sharpen these questions furth
er: The first is a theorem proven by Felipe Müller which states that the
coefficients of rational 2-functions are necessarily contained in an abeli
an number field. (As defined in the talk\, 2-functions are formal power se
ries whose coefficients satisfy a natural Hodge theoretic supercongruence.
) The second are examples worked out in collaboration with Bönisch\, Klem
m\, and van Straten\, of MUMs that are themselves not defined over Q.\n

KP integrability of triple Hodge integrals\nby Alexander Alexandrov (I
BS CGP) as part of IBS-CGP Mathematical Physics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn
my talk\, I will describe a relation between the Givental group of rank on
e and the Heisenberg-Virasoro symmetry group of the KP integrable hierarch
y. It appears that only a two-parameter family of the Givental operators c
an be identified with elements of the Heisenberg-Virasoro symmetry group.
This family describes triple Hodge integrals satisfying the Calabi-Yau con
dition. Using the identification of the elements of two groups it is possi
ble to prove that the generating function of triple Hodge integrals satisf
ying the Calabi-Yau condition and its $\\Theta$-version are tau-functions
of the KP hierarchy. This generalizes the result of Kazarian on KP integra
bility in the case of linear Hodge integrals. I will also describe the rel

Whittaker vectors for W-algebras from topological recursion\nby Vincen

Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nGaiotto vectors\, describing the fundamental class
in the equivariant cohomology of a suitable compactification of the modul
i space of G-bundles over P^2\, for G a complex simple Lie group\, are Whi
ttaker vectors for modules of W-algebras. In this work we identify these W
hittaker vectors with partition functions of quantum Airy structures\, whi
ch means that they can be calculated by topological recursion methods. On
the physics side\, it means that the Nekrasov partition function for pure
N=2 4d supersymmetric gauge theories can be accessed via a topological rec
ursion à la Chekhov-Eynard-Orantin. We formulate the connection for Gaiot
to vectors of type A\, B\, C\, and D. For those interested in topological
recursion\, the type A case at arbitrary level gives rise to a new non-com

Cohomological field theories and BKP integrability: Omega classes times Wi

ween Cohomological field theories (CohFTs)\, introduced by Kontsevich and
Manin\, and integrable hierarchies. For instance\, the celebrated Witten-K
ontsevich result shows that the trivial CohFT gives rise to a solution of
the KdV integrable hierarchy. As another example\, Kazarian’s theorem sh
ows that the Hodge CohFT gives rise to a solution of the KP hierarchy\, an
d so do Hurwitz numbers\, which by ELSV formula are descendant integrals o
f the Hodge CohFT. The change of variable which carries the partition func
tion of Hurwitz numbers into the partition function of pure descendant Hod
ge integrals is triangular and KP-preserving\, it is in fact essentially g
iven by the Topological Recursion spectral curve in the sense of Eynard an
d Orantin. \n\nWe study spin-Hurwitz numbers (not to be confused with comp
leted cycles Hurwitz numbers) enumerating branches Riemann covers weighted
by the parity of theta characteristics. They obey the BKP integrable hier
archy. We prove that the Topological Recursion conjecture for these number
s is equivalent to their underlying CohFT to be an explicit product betwee
n Witten’s class and Omega-classes computed by Chiodo. The Topological R
ecursion conjecture has recently been proved by Alexandrov and Shadrin in

that we have a set of functions (amplitudes) that should satisfy OPE (sho

invariance) and crossing-symmetry (all possible ways of computing an ampli

some additional features)\, a sequence of n-forms\, denoted $\\omega_{g\,

DESCRIPTION:Title:
Correlation functions for unitary invariant ensembles and Hurwitz numbers<
/a>\nby Tamara Grava (University of Bristol & SISSA) as part of IBS-CGP Ma
thematical Physics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nWe provide effective formulae fo
r generating functions of multipoint correlators for unitary invariants en
sembles. As an application we show that the multipoint correlators of the
Laguerre and the Jacobi ensembles are obtained in terms of Hahn polynomial
s and Wilson polynomials generalising earlier formula for one-point corre
lators. Finally we provide an enumerative interpretation of the topologica
l expansion of these multipoint correlators. This is a joint work with M.
Gisonni and G. Ruzza.\n

Quantum T-Q and KZ equations in gauge theory\nby Nikita Nekrasov (Simo

s Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nBaxter's T-Q equation is a main instrument in the
functional and algebraic Bethe ansatz approach to quantum spin chains. Kn
izhnik-Zamolodchikov equation is obeyed by the conformal blocks of the two
dimensional current algebra. Remarkably\, the analytic continuation of th
e latter\, and a deformation of the former can be found in the realm of th
e four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories with matter. \n\nBased on
the recent work with Saebyeok Jeong and Norton Lee.\n

b-monotone Hurwitz numbers: Virasoro constraints\, BKP hierarchy\, and O(N

art of IBS-CGP Mathematical Physics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nMy talk will be
an introduction to (part of) my recent paper arXiv:2109.01499 written joi
ntly with Valentin Bonzom and Maciej Dołęga. We study a b-deformation of
monotone Hurwitz numbers\, obtained by deforming Schur functions into Jac
k symmetric functions. It is a special case of the b-deformed weighted Hur
witz numbers recently introduced by Dołęga and myself and is related bra
nched coverings of the sphere by non-oriented surfaces.\n\nWe give an evol
ution (cut-and-join) equation for the model and we derive\, by a method of
independent interest\, explicit Virasoro constraints from it\, for arbitr
ary values of the deformation parameter b. For b=1 the model is related to
the (large) BKP hierarchy and an O(N) version of the BGW integral. The ta
lk will not assume previous knowledge\, I will try in particular to explai
n where the interest of combinatorialists for these deformations come from
\, and in particular the Goulden-Jackson b-conjecture.\n

. The latter theory is furthermore semi-simple which allows for complete c
omputation from the knowledge of a few basic elements which can be calcula

Moduli spaces of residueless meromorphic differentials and the KP hierarch
y\nby Paolo Rossi (University of Padua) as part of IBS-CGP Mathematica
l Physics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nI'll present a recent joint work with A.
Buryak and D. Zvonkine\, where we study the moduli spaces of residueless m
eromorphic differentials\, i.e.\, the closures\, in the moduli space of st
able curves\, of the loci of smooth curves whose marked points are the zer
os and poles of prescribed orders of a meromorphic differential with vanis
hing residues. Our main result is that intersection theory on these spaces
is controlled by an integrable system containing the celebrated Kadomtsev
-Petviashvili (KP) hierarchy as a reduction to the case of differentials w
ith exactly two zeros and any number of poles. This fact has several deep
consequences and in particular it relates the aforementioned moduli spaces
with Hurwitz theory\, representation theory of sl2(C)\, integrability and
a conjecture of Schmitt and Zvonkine on the r=0 limit of Witten's r-spin
classes.\n

Hall-Littlewood functions and Virasoro constraints\nby Xiaobo Liu (Bei

neralizations of Schur Q-functions which have been used to study Kontsevic
h-Witten and Brezin-Gross-Witten tau functions. Recently Mironov and Moroz
ov proposed to use Hall-Littlewood functions specialized at roots of unity
to study generalized Kontsevich matrix models. Virasoro constraints are p
owerful tools in the study of matrix models and Gromov-Witten invariants.
In this talk\, I will describe how Virasoro operators act on Hall-Littlewo

Defect in gauge theory and quantum spin chains\nby Norton Lee (IBS Cen
ter for Geometry and Physics) as part of IBS-CGP Mathematical Physics Semi
nar\n\n\nAbstract\nThe N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimension
s have intrinsic connection to algebraic integrable systems. The gauge the
ory of interests\, the asymptotically superconformal N=2 SQCD in four dime
nsions\, reveals a structure which has dual descriptions. On the one hand
it is the complex generalization of the Heisenberg XXX spin chain\, based
on the Lie algebra sl_2. On the other hand is the Gaudin model (a special
type of Hitchin system)\, based on the Lie algebra sl_N. In this talk I wi
ll focus on the spin chain side. I will show that by introducing BPS surfa
ce defects\, we find observables in the gauge theory that satisfy differen
ce equations called fractional quantum T-Q equation. The observables repre
sents states of the XXX Heisenberg spin chain of N Heisenberg-Weyl modules
over Y(sl_2). We also exploited to find the the explicit formula for the
Jost function of the XXX Heisenberg spin chain from gauge theory.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title:
The spin Gromov-Witten/Hurwitz correspondence\nby Reinier Kramer (Univ
ersity of Alberta) as part of IBS-CGP Mathematical Physics Seminar\n\n\nAb
stract\nIn 2006\, Okounkov and Pandharipande established a correspondence
between two theories of counting maps between curves. Gromov-Witten theory
constructs a moduli space of stable maps and considers intersection numbe
rs of natural classes on this space. Hurwitz theory counts the number of m
aps with given ramification data over all points in the target. The Gromov
-Witten theory of a surface with positive geometric genus can be localised
to a curve in that surface\, and this obtains a spin structure\, leading
to spin Gromov-Witten theory of curves. The Hurwitz side also has a natura
l spin analogue\, and Lee conjectured these theories correspond in a simil
ar manner. In this talk\, I will introduce the notions of spin Gromov-Witt
en theory and spin Hurwitz theory and give an outline of the spin Gromov-W
itten/Hurwitz correspondence for the projective line. I will also explain
relations to the (small) 2BKP integrable hierarchy\, which is the analogue
of the 2D Toda lattice hierarchy in the non-spin case. This talk is based
on joint work with Alessandro Giacchetto\, Danilo Lewański\, and Adrien
Sauvaget.\n

Fractional quantum Hall effect via the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch formula
a>\nby Dimitri Zvonkine (Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelin
es) as part of IBS-CGP Mathematical Physics Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nWe stud
y the fractional quantum Hall effect on a Riemann surface of genus g trave
rsed by a magnetic field of total flux d. The wave functions of charged pa
rticles have a semi-phenomenological description by Laughlin states. These
states can be studied by methods of algebraic geometry: they form a holom
orphic vector bundle over the d-th Picard group of the Riemann surface. Th
e Chern characters of this vector bundle can be computed by the Grothendie
ck-Riemann-Roch formula. In a fully filled state the Chern character we ob
tain is compatible with the existence of a projectively flat connection on
the vector bundle. In a state with quasiholes our computation implies tha
t no such connection can exist. This is joint work with Semyon Klevtsov.\n

Open r-spin theories with multiple boundary states\nby Ran Tessler (We
izmann Institute of Science) as part of IBS-CGP Mathematical Physics Semin
ar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn his 92' work\, Witten has defined the r-spin intersec
tion theory. This theory have found an open counterpart\, in genus 0\, in
a recent joint work with Buryak and Clader. In the closed and open setting
there are (internal) marked points\, which are allowed to carry any twist
from the set 0\,1\,...\,r-1\, and in the open setting there are also boun
dary markings whose twist is restricted to be r-2. My talk will describe a
new construction of genus=0 open r-spin theories\, which allows different
collections of boundary states\, as well as the relations satisfied by th
e resulting intersection numbers. If time permits I will also say a few wo
rds on higher genus. Based on a joint work with Yizhen Zhao.\n
