Abstract: In this paper we study various properties of the double ramification hierarchy, an integrable hierarchy of hamiltonian PDEs introduced in [Bur15] using intersection theory of the double ramification cycle in the moduli space of stable curves. In particular, we prove a recursion formula that recovers the full hierarchy starting from just one of the Hamiltonians, the one associated to the first descendant of the unit of a cohomological field theory. Moreover, we introduce analogues of the topological recursion relations and the divisor equation both for the hamiltonian densities and for the string solution of the double ramification hierarchy. This machinery is very efficient and we apply it to various computations for the trivial and Hodge cohomological field theories, and for the $r$-spin Witten's classes. Moreover we prove the Miura equivalence between the double ramification hierarchy and the Dubrovin-Zhang hierarchy for the Gromov-Witten theory of the complex projective line (extended Toda hierarchy).

Review text

There are many variants of Gromov-Witten theory and many remarkable formulas relating the various invariants. This was discovered back when \textit{E. Witten} [in: Surveys in differential geometry. Vol. I: Proceedings of the conference on geometry and topology. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society; Bethlehem, PA: Lehigh University. 243--310 (1991; Zbl 0757.53049)] described 2D quantum gravity and his conjecture was proved by \textit{M. Kontsevich} [Commun. Math. Phys. 147, No. 1, 1--23 (1992; Zbl 0756.35081)] using the matrix Airy function. Various Gromov-Witten invariants may be combined together into generating functions that satisfy various systems of PDE such as the KdV hierarchy. One recent progress is the development of the double ramification hierarchy in the paper [Commun. Math. Phys. 336, No. 3, 1085--1107 (2015; Zbl 1329.14103)] by \textit{A. Buryak}. In fact that paper provides nice exposition on the background for the paper under review. The double ramification hierarchy is based on covers of \(P^1\) branched over zero and infinity with given partitions. The paper under review develops several new recursion relations for the double ramification hierarchy. The new recursion relations recover the full hierarchy from just one of the Hamiltonians. The paper ends with a proof of the Miura equivalence between the double ramification hierarchy and the Dubrovin-Zhang hierarchy for the Gromov-Witten theory of the complex projective line.
