The loop equation for the Burgers--KdV hierarchy
Abstract
The Burgers--KdV hierarchy was introduced towards understanding intersection numbers on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundaries. The goal of this paper is to derive the Dubrovin--Zhang type loop equation for the topological tau-function of the Burgers--KdV hierarchy. As as application, we provide some relations for open intersection numbers.
