Abstract: |
It was conjectured by Witten and proved by Kontsevich that the Gromov-Witten invariants of a point are governed by the KdV hierarchy. My plan is to recall Witten's conjecture, give several interpretations of the KdV hierarchy, and to discuss to what extend the case of a point can be generalized to other target manifolds. |
