چکیده

Abstract. We propose a conjectural formula expressing the generating series of some Hodge integrals in terms of representation theory of Kac-Moody algebras. Such generating series appear in calculations of Gromov-Witten invariants by localization techniques. It generalizes a formula conjectured by Mariño and Vafa, recently proved in joint work with Chiu-Chu Melissa Liu and Kefeng Liu. Some examples are presented.

On a Proof of a Conjecture of Marino-vafa on Hodge Integrals

where ψi = c1(Li) is the first Chern class of Li, and λj = cj(E) is the j-th Chern class of the Hodge bundle. Hodge integrals arise in the calculations of Gromov-Witten invariants by localization techniques [14, 7]. The explicit evaluation of Hodge integrals is a difficult problem. The Hodge integrals involving only ψ classes can be computed recursively by Witten’s conjecture [26] proven by Kon...

Hodge Integrals and Integrable Hierarchies

We show that the generating series of some Hodge integrals involving one or two partitions are τ -functions of the KP hierarchy or the 2-Toda hierarchy respectively. We also formulate a conjecture on the connection between relative invariants and integrable hierarchies. The conjecture is verified in some examples.

A Proof of a Conjecture of Mariño-vafa on Hodge Integrals

We prove a remarkable formula for Hodge integrals conjectured by Mariño and Vafa [24] based on large N duality, using functorial virtual localization on certain moduli spaces of relative stable morphisms.

Hodge integrals , partition matrices , and the λ g conjecture

We prove a closed formula for integrals of the cotangent line classes against the top Chern class of the Hodge bundle on the moduli space of stable pointed curves. These integrals are computed via relations obtained from virtual localization in Gromov-Witten theory. An analysis of several natural matrices indexed by partitions is required.

Abstract. We derive some Hodge integral identities by taking various limits of the Mariño-Vafa formula using the cut-and-join equation. These identities include the formula of general λg-integrals, the formula of λg−1-integrals on Mg,1, the formula of cubic λ integrals on Mg, and the ELSV formula relating Hurwitz numbers and Hodge integrals. In particular, our proof of the MV formula by the cut...
