Refined lattice point counting on the moduli space of Klein surfaces

Nitin Kumar Chidambaram, Elba Garcia-Failde, Alessandro Giacchetto +1

We introduce the moduli space of metric Möbius graphs, which extend ribbon graphs to the non-orientable world. This space contains both the moduli space of Riemann surfaces and the…

On enumeration of -angulations of surfaces from an integrability perspective

Elba Garcia-Failde, Jianghao Xu, Di Yang +1

In this paper, we study generating series enumerating polygonal angulations of closed oriented surfaces of fixed genus, focusing on -angulations with or , $ν\geq…

Volumes of moduli spaces of bordered Klein surfaces

Elba Garcia-Failde, Paolo Gregori, Kento Osuga

We investigate volumes of moduli spaces of bordered Klein surfaces, which include non-orientable surfaces. On these moduli spaces, the top form introduced by Norbury diverges as th…

Resurgent large genus asymptotics of intersection numbers

Bertrand Eynard, Elba Garcia-Failde, Alessandro Giacchetto +2

In this paper, we present a novel approach for computing the large genus asymptotics of intersection numbers. Our strategy is based on a resurgent analysis of the -point functio…

Resurgent Asymptotics of Jackiw-Teitelboim Gravity and the Nonperturbative Topological Recursion

Bertrand Eynard, Elba Garcia-Failde, Paolo Gregori +2

Jackiw-Teitelboim dilaton-quantum-gravity localizes on a double-scaled random-matrix model, whose perturbative free energy is an asymptotic series. Understanding the resurgent prop…

Topological recursion for Orlov-Scherbin tau functions, and constellations with internal faces

Valentin Bonzom, Guillaume Chapuy, Séverin Charbonnier +1

We study the correlators arising from Orlov-Scherbin 2-Toda tau functions with rational content-weight , at arbitrary values of the two sets of time parameters. Com…

Relations on and the negative -spin Witten conjecture

Nitin Kumar Chidambaram, Elba Garcia-Failde, Alessandro Giacchetto

We construct and study various properties of a negative spin version of the Witten -spin class. By taking the top Chern class of a certain vector bundle on the moduli space of…

Shifted Witten classes and topological recursion

Séverin Charbonnier, Nitin Kumar Chidambaram, Elba Garcia-Failde +1

The Witten -spin class defines a non-semisimple cohomological field theory. Pandharipande, Pixton and Zvonkine studied two special shifts of the Witten class along two semisimpl…

Functional relations for higher-order free cumulants

Gaëtan Borot, Séverin Charbonnier, Elba Garcia-Failde +2

We establish the functional relations between generating series of higher-order free cumulants and moments in higher-order free probability, solving an open problem posed fifteen y…

Topological recursion for fully simple maps from ciliated maps

Gaëtan Borot, Séverin Charbonnier, Elba Garcia-Failde

Ordinary maps satisfy topological recursion for a certain spectral curve . We solve a conjecture from arXiv:1710.07851 that claims that fully simple maps, which are maps wi…

Quantization of classical spectral curves via topological recursion

Bertrand Eynard, Elba Garcia-Failde, Olivier Marchal +1

We prove that the topological recursion formalism can be used to quantize any generic classical spectral curve with smooth ramification points and simply ramified away from poles.…

Topological recursion for generalised Kontsevich graphs and r-spin intersection numbers

Raphaël Belliard, Séverin Charbonnier, Bertrand Eynard +1

Kontsevich introduced certain ribbon graphs as cell decompositions for combinatorial models of moduli spaces of complex curves with boundaries in his proof of Witten's conjecture.…

A curious identity that implies Faber's conjecture

Elba Garcia-Failde, Don Zagier

We prove that a curious generating series identity implies Faber's intersection number conjecture (by showing that it implies a combinatorial identity already given in arXiv:1902.0…

On discrete surfaces: Enumerative geometry, matrix models and universality classes via topological recursion

Elba Garcia-Failde

The main objects under consideration in this thesis are called maps, a certain class of graphs embedded on surfaces. Our problems have a powerful relatively recent tool in common,…

From topological recursion to wave functions and PDEs quantizing hyperelliptic curves

Bertrand Eynard, Elba Garcia-Failde

Starting from loop equations, we prove that the wave functions constructed from topological recursion on families of degree spectral curves with a global involution satisfy a s…

Relating ordinary and fully simple maps via monotone Hurwitz numbers

Gaëtan Borot, Séverin Charbonnier, Norman Do +1

A direct relation between the enumeration of ordinary maps and that of fully simple maps first appeared in the work of the first and last authors. The relation is via monotone Hurw…

Half-Spin Tautological Relations and Faber's Proportionalities of Kappa Classes

Elba Garcia-Failde, Reinier Kramer, Danilo Lewański +1

We employ the -spin tautological relations to provide a particular combinatorial identity. We show that this identity is a statement equivalent to Faber's formula for proporti…

Simple maps, Hurwitz numbers, and Topological Recursion

Gaëtan Borot, Elba Garcia-Failde

We introduce the notion of fully simple maps, which are maps with non self-intersecting disjoint boundaries. In contrast, maps where such a restriction is not imposed are called or…

Nesting statistics in the loop model on random maps of arbitrary topologies

Gaëtan Borot, Elba Garcia-Failde

We pursue the analysis of nesting statistics in the loop model on random maps, initiated for maps with the topology of disks and cylinders in math-ph/1605.02239, here for ar…
