Abstract

I will report on a recent work in progress with Yan Soibelman. We introduce a way to encode Eynard-Orantin topological recursion in a geometric package which allows to prove holomorphic anomaly equations without explicit calculations. The main ingredient is what we call "Airy structure": a hamiltonian action of a Lie algebra on a symplectic affine space with teh moment map given by quadratic Hamiltonians.
