KP integrability of triple Hodge integrals. III. Cut-and-join description, KdV reduction, and topological recursions
Alexander Alexandrov
Abstract:In this paper, we continue our investigation of the triple Hodge integrals satisfying the Calabi-Yau condition. For the tau-functions, which generate these integrals, we derive the complete families of the Heisenberg-Virasoro constraints. We also construct several equivalent versions of the cut-and-join operators. These operators describe the algebraic version of topological recursion. For the specific values of parameters associated with the KdV reduction, we prove that these tau-functions are equal to the ge… Show more
“…But, the recent studies [26,28,30,68] all together show that one can start with Witten's topological gravity and come back to the matrix gravity without a deformation theory, again at least in the higher genera. More precisely, we first go to the special cubic Hodge partition function by a space/time duality [18,67,68] (see also [2,3]) (in [68] this is revealed by the Hodge-BGW correspondence), and then go to the so-called modified even GUE partition function by the Hodge-GUE correspondence [26,28], and finally back to the even GUE partition function via a product formula [30], again at least to the higher genera in jets. (We note that the genus zero parts for the above-mentioned models are relatively easy, so for us the non-trivial things are in higher genera.)…”
Dubrovin establishes the relationship between the GUE partition function and the partition function of Gromov-Witten invariants of the complex projective line. In this paper, we give a direct proof of Dubrovin's result. We also present in a diagram the recent progress on topological gravity and matrix gravity.

“…Recently, they play important roles in the Hodge-GUE correspondence [15,16,17], which implies the ELSV-like (cf. [22]) formula for even GUE correlators [7,24]; see [2,3,51] for interesting connections to the KP hierarchy and 2D Toda lattice. Denote by…”

We establish an explicit relationship between the partition function of certain special cubic Hodge integrals and the generalized Brézin-Gross-Witten (BGW) partition function, which we refer to as the Hodge-BGW correspondence. As an application, we obtain an ELSV-like formula for generalized BGW correlators.
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.
