##### Abstract

We construct an integrable hierarchy in the form of Hirota quadratic equations (HQEs) that governs the Gromov–Witten invariants of the Fano orbifold projective curve ${ℙ}_{{a}_{1},{a}_{2},{a}_{3}}^{1}$. The vertex operators in our construction are given in terms of the $K$–theory of ${ℙ}_{{a}_{1},{a}_{2},{a}_{3}}^{1}$ via Iritani’s $\Gamma$–class modification of the Chern character map. We also identify our HQEs with an appropriate Kac–Wakimoto hierarchy of ADE type. In particular, we obtain a generalization of the famous Toda conjecture about the GW invariants of ${ℙ}^{1}$ to all Fano orbifold curves.
