This construction is applied to Witten-Kontsevich tau-function to give a natural explanation of some earlier work. We also apply it to higher Weil-Petersson volumes and Witten's r-spin intersection numbers.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-11-26T00:17:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "kp hierarchy", "emergent geometry", "wittens r-spin intersection numbers", "higher weil-petersson volumes", "earlier work" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151108257Z" } } }
