Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde equations appear in two-dimensional TQFT and in other problems of quantum field theory. I'll discuss these equations and their relation to the theory of singularities and to integrable hierarchies. This topic is close to the material of my talk at the end of Fall quarter,but my exposition will be completely independent.
