Abstract
For any nondegenerate, quasi-homogeneous hypersurface singularity, we describe a family of moduli spaces, a virtual cycle, and a corresponding cohomological field theory associated to the singularity. This theory is analogous to Gromov-Witten theory and generalizes the theory of $r$-spin curves, which corresponds to the simple singularity $A_{r-1}$.
We also resolve two outstanding conjectures of Witten. The first conjecture is that ADE-singularities are self-dual, and the second conjecture is that the total potential functions of ADE-singularities satisfy corresponding ADE-integrable hierarchies. Other cases of integrable hierarchies are also discussed.
