Description
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.
