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...

Invariant Spin Structures on Riemann Surfaces

Sadok Kallel, Denis Sjerve (2010)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We investigate the action of the automorphism group of a closed Riemann surface of genus at least two on its set of theta characteristics (or spin structures). We give a characterization of those surfaces admitting a non-trivial automorphism fixing either all of the spin structures or just one. The case of hyperelliptic curves and of the Klein quartic are discussed in detail.

Invariants of bi-Lipschitz equivalence of real analytic functions

Jean-Pierre Henry, Adam Parusiński (2004)

Banach Center Publications

We construct an invariant of the bi-Lipschitz equivalence of analytic function germs (ℝⁿ,0) → (ℝ,0) that varies continuously in many analytic families. This shows that the bi-Lipschitz equivalence of analytic function germs admits continuous moduli. For a germ f the invariant is given in terms of the leading coefficients of the asymptotic expansions of f along the sets where the size of |x| |grad f(x)| is comparable to the size of |f(x)|.

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....
