Invariance of tautological equations I: conjectures and applications

Y.-P. Lee (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The main goal of this paper is to introduce a set of conjectures on the relations in the tautological rings. In particular, this framework gives an efficient algorithm to calculate all tautological equations using only finite-dimensional linear algebra. Other applications include the proofs of Witten’s conjecture on the relations between higher spin curves and Gelfand–Dickey hierarchy and Virasoro conjecture for target manifolds with conformal semisimple quantum cohomology, both for genus up to...

Invertible cohomological field theories and Weil-Petersson volumes

Yuri I. Manin, Peter Zograf (2000)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We show that the generating function for the higher Weil–Petersson volumes of the moduli spaces of stable curves with marked points can be obtained from Witten’s free energy by a change of variables given by Schur polynomials. Since this generating function has a natural extension to the moduli space of invertible Cohomological Field Theories, this suggests the existence of a “very large phase space”, correlation functions on which include Hodge integrals studied by C. Faber and R. Pandharipande....
