An explicit four-corner dictionary for (2,p) minimal Liouville gravity

A. Alexandrov, V. Belavin

(2,p) minimal Liouville gravity admits four algebraic descriptions interrelated by dualities. On the Frobenius manifold (FM) side the theory is built either on the manifold…

Matrix models for the nested hypergeometric tau-functions

Alexander Alexandrov

We introduce and investigate a family of tau-functions of the 2D Toda hierarchy, which is a natural generalization of the hypergeometric family associated with Hurwitz numbers. For…
