Titel: An approach to CFT from topological recursion and integrable systems
Abstract: Conformal field theories (CFT) can be defined by a set of axioms (bootstrap axioms) and a challenge is to find mathematical objects satifying the axioms. Topological recursion (TR) is a procedure that, to a spectral curve (a complex curve immersed in a cotangent space) associates a sequence of meromorphic differentials. Using this sequence one can produce formal series that satisfy the axioms of CFT. Moreover this establishes a link with integrable systems.
