Report Abstract:

Topological Recursion is an algorithm proposed by Chekhov-Eynard-Orantin, which associates a sequence of differential forms to a spectral curve. Originally motivated by matrix models, it has deep connection to various areas of mathematics, like enumerative geometry and integrable systems. I will give an introduction to Topological Recursion and explain some of its application in enumerative geometry. This talk is based on the joint work with Chiu-Chu Melissa Liu, Song Yu, and Zhengyu Zong.
