The direct proof of variational formulas on branched coverings is added. The title is modified due to observed coincidence of isomonodromic tau-function of Hurwitz Frobenius manifolds with Bergman tau-function on Hurwitz spaces introduced by the authors

Abstract

In this work we find the isomonodromic (Jimbo-Miwa) tau-function corresponding to Frobenius manifold structures on Hurwitz spaces. We discuss several applications of this result. First, we get an explicit expression for the G-function (solution of Getzler's equation) of the Hurwitz Frobenius manifolds. Second, in terms of this tau-function we compute the genus one correction to the free energy of hermitian two-matrix model. Third, we find the Jimbo-Miwa tau-function of an arbitrary Riemann-Hilbert problem with quasi-permutation monodromy matrices. Finally, we get a new expression (analog of genus one Ray-Singer formula) for the determinant of Laplace operator in the Poincaré metric on Riemann surfaces of an arbitrary genus.
