چکیده
In this note, we use the method of [3] to give a simple proof of famous Witten conjecture. Combining the coefficients derived in our note and this method, we can derive more recursion formulas of Hodge integrals.

Descendant Gromov-Witten Invariants, Simple Hurwitz Numbers, and the Virasoro Conjecture for IP
In this “experimental” research, we use known topological recursion relations in generazero, -one, and -two to compute the n-point descendant Gromov-Witten invariants of IP for arbitrary degrees and low values of n. The results are consistent with the Virasoro conjecture and also lead to explicit computations of all Hodge integrals in these genera. We also derive new recursion relations for sim...
متن کاملA SHORT PROOF OF THE λg-CONJECTURE WITHOUT GROMOV-WITTEN THEORY: HURWITZ THEORY AND THE MODULI OF CURVES
We give a short and direct proof of the λg-Conjecture. The approach is through the Ekedahl-Lando-Shapiro-Vainshtein theorem, which establishes the “polynomiality” of Hurwitz numbers, from which we pick off the lowest degree terms. The proof is independent of GromovWitten theory. We briefly describe the philosophy behind our general approach to intersection numbers and how it may be extended to ...
متن کاملThe Gromov-witten Potential of a Point, Hurwitz Numbers, and Hodge Integrals
Hurwitz numbers, which count certain covers of the projective line (or, equivalently, factorizations of permutations into transpositions), have been extensively studied for over a century. The Gromov-Witten potential F of a point, the generating series for Hodge integrals on the moduli space of curves, has been a central object of study in Gromov-Witten theory. We define a slightly enriched Gro...
متن کاملTowards the Geometry of Double Hurwitz Numbers
Double Hurwitz numbers count branched covers of CP with fixed branch points, with simple branching required over all but two points 0 and∞, and the branching over 0 and∞ points specified by partitions of the degree (withm and n parts respectively). Single Hurwitz numbers (or more usually, Hurwitz numbers) have a rich structure, explored by many authors in fields as diverse as algebraic geometry...
متن کاملThe Moduli Space of Curves, Double Hurwitz Numbers, and Faber’s Intersection Number Conjecture
We define the dimension 2g − 1 Faber-Hurwitz Chow/homology classes on the moduli space of curves, parametrizing curves expressible as branched covers of P with given ramification over ∞ and sufficiently many fixed ramification points elsewhere. Degeneration of the target and judicious localization expresses such classes in terms of localization trees weighted by “top intersections” of tautologi...
