Integrability of Hurwitz partition functions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Partition functions often become au-functions of integrable hierarchies, if they are considered dependent on infinite sets of parameters called time variables. The Hurwitz partition functions Z = sum_R d_R^{2-k}chi_R(t^{(1)})...chi_R(t^{(k)})exp(sum_n xi_nC_R(n)) depend on two types of such time variables, t and xi. KP/Toda integrability in t requires that kleq 2 and also that C_R(n) are selected in a rather special way, in particular the naive cut-and-join operators are not allowed for n>2. Integrability in xi further restricts the choice of C_R(n), forbidding, for example, the free cumulants. It also requires that kleq 1. The quasiclassical integrability (the WDVV equations) is naturally present in xi variables, but also requires a careful definition of the generating function.
