We present in this paper a differential version of Mirzakhani's recursion relation for the Weil-Petersson volumes of the moduli spaces of bordered Riemann surfaces. We discover that the differential relation, which is equivalent to the original integral formula of Mirzakhani, is a Virasoro constraint condition on a generating function for these volumes. We also show that the generating function for psi and kappa_1 intersections on the moduli space of stable algebraic curves is a 1-parameter solution to the KdV hierarchy. It recovers the Witten-Kontsevich generating function when the parameter is set to be 0.

  1. Non-perturbative effects in JT gravity from KdV equations

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The KdV equation governing 2D topological gravity admits a one-parameter transseries; its leading nonperturbative sector reproduces known JT gravity instanton corrections and extends them to multi-instanton order.
