Abstract: Let CPk,m1 be the orbifold structure on CP1 obtained via uniformizing the neighborhoods of 0 and infty respectively by zmapstozk and wmapstowm. The diagonal action of the torus on the projective line induces naturally an orbifold action on CPk,m1. In this paper we prove that if k and m are co-prime then Givental's prediction of the equivariant total descendent Gromov-Witten potential of CPk,m1 satisfies certain Hirota Quadratic Equations (HQE for short). We also show that after an appropriate change of the variables, similar to Getzler's change in the equivariant Gromov-Witten theory of CP1, the HQE turn into the HQE of the 2-Toda hierarchy, i.e., the Gromov-Witten potential of CPk,m1 is a tau-function of the 2-Toda hierarchy. More precisely, we obtain a sequence of tau-functions of the 2-Toda hierarchy from the descendent potential via some translations. The later condition, that all tau-functions in the sequence are obtained from a single one via translations, imposes a serious constraint on the solution of the 2-Toda hierarchy. Our theorem leads to the discovery of a new integrable hierarchy (we suggest to be called the Equivariant Bi-graded Toda Hierarchy). We conjecture that this new hierarchy governs, i.e., uniquely determines, the equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of CPk,m1.
