The generalized Kontsevich model (GKM) is a one-matrix model with arbitrary potential. Its partition function belongs to the KP hierarchy. When the potential is monomial, it is an r-reduced tau-function that governs the r-spin intersection numbers. In this paper, we present an ordered exponential representation of monomial GKM in terms of the W1+∞ operators that preserves the KP integrability. In fact, this representation is naturally the solution of a W1+∞ constraint that uniquely determines the tau-function. Furthermore, we show that, for the cases of Kontsevich-Witten and generalized BGW tau-functions, their W1+∞ representations can be reduced to their cut-and-join representations under the reduction of the even time independence and Virasoro constraints.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
