Description
In my talk I will discuss a family of matrix models, which describes the generating functions of intersection numbers on moduli spaces both for open and closed Riemann surfaces. Linear (Virasoro\W-constraints) and bilinear (KP\MKP integrable hierarchies) equations follow from the matrix model representation.
