Topological recursion associates to a spectral curve, a sequence of meromorphic differential forms. A tangent space to the moduli space of spectral curves (its space of deformations) is locally described by meromorphic 1-forms, and we use form-cycle duality to re-express it in terms of cycles (generalized cycles). This formulation allows to express the ABCD tensors of Quantum Airy Structures acting on the vector space of cycles, in an intrinsic spectral-curve geometric way.

In this article, we study the large $n$ asymptotic expansions of $ntimes n$ Toeplitz determinants whose symbols are indicator functions of unions of arc-intervals of the unit circle. In particular, we use an Hermitian matrix model reformulation of the problem to provide a rigorous derivation of the general form of the large $n$ expansion when the symbol is an indicator function of either a single arc-interval or several arc-intervals with a discrete rotational symmetry. Moreover, we prove that the coefficients in the expansions can be reconstructed, up to some constants, from the Eynard-Orantin topological recursion applied to some explicit spectral curves. In addition, when the symbol is an indicator function of a single arc-interval, we provide the corresponding normalizing constants using a Selberg integral and illustrate the theoretical results with numeric simulations up to order $oleft(frac{1}{n^4}right)$. We also briefly discuss the situation when the number of arc-intervals increases with $n$, as well as more general Toeplitz determinants to which we may apply the present strategy.
We prove that the topological recursion formalism can be used to compute the WKB expansion of solutions of second order differential operators obtained by quantization of any hyper-elliptic curve. We express this quantum curve in terms of spectral Darboux coordinates on the moduli space of meromorphic $mathfrak{sl}_2$-connections on $mathbb{P}^1$ and argue that the topological recursion produces a $2g$-parameter family of associated tau functions, where $2g$ is the dimension of the moduli space considered. We apply this procedure to the 6 Painleve equations which correspond to $g=1$ and consider a $g=2$ example.
We introduce super quantum Airy structures, which provide a supersymmetric generalization of quantum Airy structures. We prove that to a given super quantum Airy structure one can assign a unique set of free energies, which satisfy a supersymmetric generalization of the topological recursion. We reveal and discuss various properties of these supersymmetric structures, in particular their gauge transformations, classical limit, peculiar role of fermionic variables, and graphical representation of recursion relations. Furthermore, we present various examples of super quantum Airy structures, both finite-dimensional -- which include well known superalgebras and super Frobenius algebras, and whose classification scheme we also discuss -- as well as infinite-dimensional, that arise in the realm of vertex operator super algebras.
This review is an extended version of the Seoul ICM 2014 proceedings.It is a short overview of the topological recursion, a relation appearing in the asymptotic expansion of many integrable systems and in enumerative problems. We recall how computing large size asymptotics in random matrices, has allowed to discover some fascinating and ubiquitous geometric invariants. Specializations of this method recover many classical invariants, like Gromov--Witten invariants, or knot polynomials (Jones, HOMFLY,...). In this short review, we give some examples, give definitions, and review some properties and applications of the formalism.
We show that for a rather generic set of regular spectral curves, the Topological-Recursion invariants F_g grow at most like $O((beta g)! r^{-g}) $ with some $r>0$ and $betaleq 5$.
