If a system is given by its transfer function then the stability of the system is determined hy the denominator polynomial and its corresponding Hurwitz matrix 7-{. Also the critical stability conditions are determined by its determinant det 7-{. The aim of this paper is to get a generalized Hurwitz matrix for polynomial matrices. In order to achieve that, we first obtain a relation between the...

We define cut-and-join operator in Hurwitz theory for merging of two branching points of arbitrary type. These operators have two alternative descriptions: (i) they have the GL characters as eigenfunctions and the symmetric-group characters as eigenvalues; (ii) they can be represented as differential operators of the W -type (in particular, acting on the time-variables in the HurwitzKontsevich ...

New family of flat potential (Darboux-Egoroff) metrics on the Hurwitz spaces and corresponding Frobenius structures are found. We consider a Hurwitz space as a real manifold. Therefore the number of coordinates is twice as big as the number of coordinates used in the construction of Frobenius manifolds on Hurwitz spaces found by B.Dubrovin more than 10 years ago. The branch points of a ramified...

We study mirror symmetry for orbifold Hurwitz numbers. We show that the Laplace transform of orbifold Hurwitz numbers satisfy a differential recursion, which is then proved to be equivalent to the integral recursion of Eynard and Orantin with spectral curve given by the r-Lambert curve. We argue that the r-Lambert curve also arises in the infinite framing limit of orbifold Gromov-Witten theory ...

Abstract. In this paper, we prove a new identity for values of the Hurwitz zeta function which contains as particular cases Koecher’s identity for odd zeta values, the Bailey-Borwein-Bradley identity for even zeta values and many other interesting formulas related to values of the Hurwitz zeta function. We also get an extension of the bivariate identity of Cohen to values of the Hurwitz zeta fu...

This paper consists of mainly two parts. First it is a survey of some results on automorphisms of Riemann surfaces and Fuchsian groups. A theorem of Hurwitz states that the maximal automorphism group of a compact Riemann surface of genus 9 has order at most 84(g-1). It is well-known that the Klein quartic is the unique genus 3 curve that attains the Hurwitz bound. We will show in the second par...

1.1 The classical Hurwitz space and the moduli of curves The classical Hurwitz space first appeared in the work of Clebsch [5] and Hurwitz [17] as an auxiliary object to study the moduli space of curves. Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus g over C. A rational function f : X → P of degree n is called simple if there are at least n − 1 points on X over every point of P. Such a cover has ...

In this paper we investigate certain moduli spaces (\Hurwitz spaces") of branched covers of the Riemann sphere S 2 , and representations of nite index subgroups of the spherical braid group which arise from these Hurwitz spaces. (By spherical braid group, we mean the group of braids in the 2-sphere; we will refer to the more classical group of braids in the plane as the planar braid group.) Hur...
