Title: Quantum Curves and Random Matrices, I
Abstract: I will review recent work that relates topological string theory, random matrices and integrable hierarchies, and that leads to a natural `quantum'
deformation of conformal field theories on Riemann surfaces where algebraic curves are replaced by a non-commutative D-modules.
This first lecture is intended for a broad mathematical
audience.
