WKB expansion of Yang-Yang generating function and Bergman tau-function (1910.07140v3)

Abstract: We study the symplectic properties of the monodromy map of second order equations on a Riemann surface whose potential is meromorphic with double poles. We show that the Poisson bracket defined in terms of periods of meromorphic quadratic differential implies the Goldman Poisson structure on the monodromy manifoldThese results are applied to the WKB analysis of the equation. It is shown that the leading term in the WKB expansion of the generating function of the monodromy symplectomorphism (the "Yang-Yang function" of Nekrasov, Rosly and Shatashvili) is determined by the Bergman tau-function on the moduli space of meromorphic quadratic differentials.
