A new spin on Hurwitz theory and ELSV via theta characteristics

A Giacchetto, R Kramer, D Lewański - arXiv preprint arXiv:2104.05697, 2021 - arxiv.org
We study spin Hurwitz numbers, which count ramified covers of the Riemann sphere with a
sign coming from a theta characteristic. These numbers are known to be related to Gromov …

On the complex asymptotics of the HCIZ and BGW integrals

J Novak - arXiv preprint arXiv:2006.04304, 2020 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we prove a longstanding conjecture on the asymptotic behavior of a pair of
oscillatory matrix integrals: the Harish-Chandra/Itzykson-Zuber (HCIZ) integral, and the …

Twisted Hurwitz numbers: Tropical and polynomial structures

MA Hahn, H Markwig - arXiv preprint arXiv:2210.00595, 2022 - arxiv.org

Asymptotics for real monotone double Hurwitz numbers

Y Ding, Q He - Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A, 2024 - Elsevier
