A complete classification of massive topological conformal\\r\\nfield theories (TCFT) is obtained in terms of monodromy data of an auxillary\\r\\nlinear operator with rational coefficients. Procedure of coupling of a TCFT to topological\\r\\ngravity is described (at tree level) via certain integrable bihamiltonian hierarchies of\\r\\nhydrodynamic type and their τ -functions. A possible role of bihamiltonian formalism in\\r\\ncalculation of high genus corrections is discussed. As a biproduct of this discussion new\\r\\nexamples of infinite dimensional Virasoro-type Lie algebras and their nonlinear analogues\\r\\nare constructed. As an algebro-geometrical applications it is shown that WDVV is just the\\r\\nuniversal system of integrable differential equations (high order analogue of the Painlev´e-\\r\\nVI) specifying periods of Abelian differentials on Riemann surfaces as functions on moduli\\r\\nof these surfaces. %B Integrable systems : the Verdier memorial conference : actes du colloque international de Luminy / Olivier Babelon, Pierre Cartier, Yvette Kosmann-Schwarzbach editors. - Boston [etc.] : Birkhauser, c1993. - p. 313-359 %I SISSA %@ 0817636536 %G en %U http://hdl.handle.net/1963/6478 %1 6432 %2 Mathematics %4 1 %# MAT/07 FISICA MATEMATICA %$ Submitted by Boris Dubrovin (dubrovin@sissa.it) on 2013-02-11T15:43:16Z\\nNo. of bitstreams: 1\\ndubrovin_1993_verdier.pdf: 341620 bytes, checksum: 7aeca49fd73426f29caffc6712ae6b94 (MD5)
