We describe systematically the propagators and the zero modes of the various two dimensional fields which appear in the construction of the scattering amplitudes in the string theory, within the framework of the covariant formulation, and we discuss also their modular transformation properties.

Abstract We study open topological gravity in two dimensions, or, the intersection theory on the moduli space of open Riemann surfaces initiated by Pandharipande, Solomon and Tessler. The open free energy, the generating function for the open intersection numbers, obeys the open KdV equations and Buryak’s differential equation and is related by a formal Fourier transformation to the Baker-Akhiezer wave function of the KdV hierarchy. Using these properties we study the genus expansion of the free energy in detail. We construct explicitly the genus zero part of the free energy. We then formulate a method of computing higher genus corrections by solving Buryak’s equation and obtain them up to high order. This method is much more efficient than our previous approach based on the saddle point calculation. Along the way we show that the higher genus corrections are polynomials in variables that are expressed in terms of genus zero quantities only, generalizing the constitutive relation of closed topological gravity.

The Relationship

This note aims to provide an entrée to two developments in two-dimensional topological gravity — that is, intersection theory on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces — that have not yet become well known among physicists. A little over a decade ago, Mirzakhani discovered[Formula: see text] an elegant new proof of the formulas that result from the relationship between topological gravity and matrix models of two-dimensional gravity. Here we will give a very partial introduction to that work, which hopefully will also serve as a modest tribute to the memory of a brilliant mathematical pioneer. More recently, Pandharipande, Solomon, and Tessler3 (with further developments in Refs. 4–6) generalized intersection theory on moduli space to the case of Riemann surfaces with boundary, leading to generalizations of the familiar KdV and Virasoro formulas. Though the existence of such a generalization appears natural from the matrix model viewpoint — it corresponds to adding vector degrees of freedom to the matrix model — constructing this generalization is not straightforward. We will give some idea of the unexpected way that the difficulties were resolved.

Dimensional Gravity

The origin of local SL(nC) symmetry in induced gravity in two dimensions, enlarged with the so-called W fields, is considered on higher genus Riemann surfaces. In the simplest case of W2, the mathematical structure of Polyakov’s two-dimensional gravity precisely corresponds to the projective structure of Riemann surfaces. Some speculations on the generalization to higher Wn algebras are presented.

AbstractThe paper has two relatively distinct but connected goals; the first is to define the notion of Padé approximation of Weyl–Stiltjes transforms on an arbitrary compact Riemann surface of higher genus. The data consists of a contour in the Riemann surface and a measure on it, together with the additional datum of a local coordinate near a point and a divisor of degree g. The denominators of the resulting Padé-like approximation also satisfy an orthogonality relation and are sections of appropriate line bundles. A Riemann–Hilbert problem for a square matrix of rank two is shown to characterize these orthogonal sections, in a similar fashion to the ordinary orthogonal polynomial case. The second part extends this idea to explore its connection to integrable systems. The same data can be used to define a pairing between two sequences of line bundles. The locus in the deformation space where the pairing becomes degenerate for fixed degree coincides with the zeros of a “tau” function. We show how this tau function satisfies the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili hierarchy with respect to either deformation parameters, and a certain modification of the 2-Toda hierarchy when considering the whole sequence of tau functions. We also show how this construction is related to the Krichever construction of algebro-geometric solutions.
