The Hodge tau-function is a generating function for the linear Hodge integrals. It is also a tau-function of the KP hierarchy. In this paper, we first present the Virasoro constraints for the Hodge tau-function in the explicit form of the Virasoro equations. The expression of our Virasoro constraints is simply a linear combination of the Virasoro operators, where the coefficients are restored from a power series for the Lambert W function. Then, using this result, we deduce a simple version of…

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
A connection between the Kontsevich-Witten and Brezin-Gross-Witten tau-functions
The Brezin-Gross-Witten model is one of the basic examples in the class of non-eigenvalue unitary matrix models. In the Kontsevich phase, it is a tau-function for the KdV hierarchy. In this paper we

We give a proof of Alexandrov's conjecture on a formula connecting the Kontsevich-Witten and Hodge tau-functions using only the Virasoro operators. This formula has been confirmed up to an unknown

Abstract. We generalise a result of Kazarian regarding Kadomtsev-Petviashvili integrability for single Hodge integrals to general cohomological field theories related to Hurwitz-type counting

In this paper we introduce a new family of the KP tau-functions. This family can be described by a deformation of the generalized Kontsevich matrix model. We prove that the simplest representative of
