Description
Topological recursion and irregular conformal block via Painleve and WKB
Abstract: We will compare topological recursion and irregular conformal blocks, focusing on the Painlevé I equation. If time permits, we will also discuss a relation between the Heun accessory parameter with irregular singularities and the Voros periods.
This talk is based on joint work with N. Iorgov, O. Lisovyy, and Y. Zhuravlov (arXiv:2505.16803), as well as ongoing joint work with H. Nagoya and A. Shukuta.
