The quantum string emission by Black Holes is computed in the framework of the `string analogue model' (or thermodynamical approach), which is well suited to combine QFT and string theory in curved backgrounds (particulary here, as black holes and strings posses intrinsic thermal features and temperatures). The QFT-Hawking temperature T_H is upper bounded by the string temperature T_S in the black hole background. The black hole emission spectrum is an incomplete gamma function of (T_H - T_S). For T_H << T_S, it yields the QFT-Hawking emission. For T_H \to T_S, it shows highly massive string states dominate the emission and undergo a typical string phase transition to a microscopic `minimal' black hole of mass M_{\min} or radius r_{\min} (inversely proportional to T_S) and string temperature T_S. The semiclassical QFT black hole (of mass M and temperature T_H) and the string black hole (of mass M_{min} and temperature T_S) are mapped one into another by a `Dual' transform which links classical/QFT and quantum string regimes. The string back reaction effect (selfconsistent black hole solution of the semiclassical Einstein equations with mass M_+ (radius r_+) and temperature T_+) is computed. Both, the QFT and string black hole regimes are well defined and bounded: r_{min} leq r_+ \leq r_S, M_{min} \leq M_+ \leq M, T_H \leq T_+ \leq T_S. The string `minimal' black hole has a life time tau_{min} \simeq \frac{k_B c}{G \hbar} T^{-3}_S.

A spatially discrete version of the general kink-bearing nonlinear Klein-Gordon model in (1+1) dimensions is constructed which preserves the topological lower bound on kink energy. It is proved that, provided the lattice spacing h is sufficiently small, there exist static kink solutions attaining this lower bound centred anywhere relative to the spatial lattice. Hence there is no Peierls-Nabarro barrier impeding the propagation of kinks in this discrete system. An upper bound on h is derived and given a physical interpretation in terms of the radiation of the system. The construction, which works most naturally when the nonlinear Klein-Gordon model has a squared polynomial interaction potential, is applied to a recently proposed continuum model of polymer twistons. Numerical simulations are presented which demonstrate that kink pinning is eliminated, and radiative kink deceleration greatly reduced in comparison with the conventional discrete system. So even on a very coarse lattice, kinks behave much as they do in the continuum. It is argued, therefore, that the construction provides a natural means of numerically simulating kink dynamics in nonlinear Klein-Gordon models of this type. The construction is compared with the inverse method of Flach, Zolotaryuk and Kladko. Using the latter method, alternative spatial discretizations of the twiston and sine-Gordon models are obtained which are also free of the Peierls-Nabarro barrier.

Correlation functions of Wilson lines are relevant for describing the infrared structure of scattering amplitudes. We develop a new method for evaluating a wide class of such Wilson line integrals, and apply it to the calculation of the velocity-dependent cusp anomalous dimension in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We compute the four-loop non-planar correction in a recently introduced scaling limit. Moreover, we derive the full planar four-loop result by means of an ansatz which is based on the structure of known analytic results. We determine the coefficients in this ansatz by making use of a relationship to massive scattering amplitudes. As a corollary, our analytical result confirms the four-loop value of the light-like cusp anomalous dimension. Finally, we use the available perturbative data, as well as insight from AdS/CFT, in order to extrapolate the leading order values at strong coupling. The latter agree within two per cent with the corresponding string theory result, over a wide range of parameters.

There is a remarkable connection between the number of quantum states of conformal theories and the sequence of dimensions of Lie algebras. In this paper, we explore this connection by computing the asymptotic expansion of the elliptic genus and the microscopic entropy of black holes associated with (supersymmetric) sigma models. The new features of these results are the appearance of correct prefactors in the state density expansion and in the coefficient of the logarithmic correction to the entropy.

Quantum solitons or polarons are supposed to play a crucial role in the electric conductivity of polyacetylene, in the intermediate doping regime. We present an exact fully quantized calculation of the quantum soliton conductivity in polyacetylene and show that it vanishes exactly. This is obtained by applying a general method of soliton quantization, based on order-disorder duality, to a Z(2)-symmetric complex extension of the TLM dimerization effective field theory. We show that, in this theory, polyacetylene solitons are sine-Gordon solitons in the phase of the complex field.

In this work we describe the mathematical foundations used in the construction of primary fields of minimal models of conformal field theory. The work contains two parts: In the first part we give a description of Verma and Fock modules for the Virasoro algebra and develop their imbedding patterns. This part is a simplification of the work of Feigin and Fuks (we correct a mistake in their patterns in the case III_+), Rocha-Charidi and some new ideas which yield a simplification of the original papers. In the second part we define (free) vertex operators as unbounded Hilbert space operators, acting on Fock spaces, which are Virasoro modules. We prove several properties of these operators: under appropriate conditions vertex operators are densely defined, not closable operators. Radially ordered products of vertex operators exists on a dense subset. We prove commutation relations between vertex operators and elements of the Virasoro algebra. Next we define, following the (non rigouros) work of G. Felder, integrated vertex operators and prove that these operators resemble the properties of the not integrated vertex operators. Special integrated vertex operators can be identified with conformal fields and a Virasoro invariant subspace of Fock space can be identified with the physical Hilbert space for the conformal theory.

It is shown how metastable de Sitter vacua might arise from heterotic M-theory. The balancing of its two non-perturbative effects, open membrane instantons against gaugino condensation on the hidden boundary, which act with opposing forces on the interval length, is used to stabilize the orbifold modulus (dilaton) and other moduli. The non-perturbative effects break supersymmetry spontaneously through F-terms which leads to a positive vacuum energy density. In contrast to the situation for the weakly coupled heterotic string, the charged scalar matter fields receive non-vanishing vacuum expectation values and therefore masses in a phenomenologically relevant regime. It is important that in order to obtain these de Sitter vacua we are not relying on exotic effects or fine-tuning of parameters. Vacua with more realistic supersymmetry breaking scales and gravitino masses are obtained by breaking the hidden $E_8$ gauge group down to groups of smaller rank. Also small values for the open membrane instanton Pfaffian are favored in this respect. Finally we outline how the incorporation of additional flux superpotentials can be used to stabilize the remaining moduli.

Minimal chaotic models of D-term inflation predicts too large primordial tensor perturbations. Although it can be made consistent with observations utilizing higher order terms in the K\"ahler potential, expansion is not controlled in the absence of symmetries. We comprehensively study the conditions of K\"ahler potential for D-term plateau-type potentials and discuss its symmetry. They include the alpha-attractor model with a massive vector supermultiplet and its generalization leading to pole inflation of arbitrary order. We extend the models so that it can describe Coulomb phase, gauge anomaly is cancelled, and fields other than inflaton are stabilized during inflation. We also point out a generic issue for large-field D-term inflation that the masses of the non-inflaton fields tend to exceed the Planck scale.

We study supermembranes in the light-cone gauge in eleven flat dimensions with compact directions. The membrane states are subject to only the central charges associated with closed two-branes, which, in this case, are generated by the winding itself. We present arguments why this winding leaves the mass spectrum continuous. The lower bound on the mass spectrum is set by the winding number and corresponds to a BPS state.

Radiatively induced symmetry breaking is considered for a toy model with one scalar and one fermion field unified in a superfield. It is shown that the classical quartic self-interaction of the superfield possesses a quantum infrared singularity. Application of the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism for effective potential leads to the appearance of condensates and masses for both scalar and fermion components. That induces a spontaneous breaking of the initial classical symmetries: the supersymmetry and the conformal one. The energy scales for the scalar and fermion condensates appear to be of the same order, while the renormalization scale is many orders of magnitude higher. A possibility to relate the considered toy model to conformal symmetry breaking in the Standard Model is discussed.

We study gapped boundaries characterized by "fermionic condensates" in 2+1 d topological order. Mathematically, each of these condensates can be described by a super commutative Frobenius algebra. We systematically obtain the species of excitations at the gapped boundary/ junctions, and study their endomorphisms (ability to trap a Majorana fermion) and fusion rules, and generalized the defect Verlinde formula to a twisted version. We illustrate these results with explicit examples. We also connect these results with topological defects in super modular invariant CFTs. To render our discussion self-contained, we provide a pedagogical review of relevant mathematical results, so that physicists without prior experience in tensor category should be able to pick them up and apply them readily

Inflation is the leading paradigm for explaining the origin of primordial density perturbations and the observed temperature fluctuations of the cosmic microwave background. However many open questions remain, in particular whether one or more scalar fields were present during inflation and how they contributed to the primordial density perturbation. We propose a new observational test of whether multiple fields, or only one (not necessarily the inflaton) generated the perturbations. We show that our test, relating the bispectrum and trispectrum, is protected against loop corrections at all orders, unlike previous relations.

In this paper we investigate, within the standard model extension framework, the influence of Lorentz- and CPT-violating terms on gravitational quantum states of ultracold neutrons. Using a semiclassical wave packet, we derive the effective nonrelativistic Hamiltonian which describes the neutrons vertical motion by averaging the contributions from the perpendicular coordinates to the free falling axis. We compute the physical implications of the Lorentz- and CPT-violating terms on the spectra. The comparison of our results with those obtained in the GRANIT experiment leads to an upper bound for the symmetries-violation $c_{\mu\nu} ^{n}$ coefficients. We find that ultracold neutrons are sensitive to the $a _{i} ^{n}$ and $e _{i} ^{n}$ coefficients, which thus far are unbounded by experiments in the neutron sector. We propose two additional problems involving ultracold neutrons which could be relevant for improving our current bounds; namely, gravity-resonance-spectroscopy and neutron whispering gallery wave.

We study the fluxes emitted by black holes when using dispersive field theories. We work with stationary one dimensional backgrounds which are asymptotically flat on both sides of the horizon. The asymptotic fluxes are governed by a 3x3 Bogoliubov transformation. The fluxes emitted by the corresponding white holes are regular and governed by the inverse transformation. We numerically compute the spectral properties of these fluxes for both sub- and superluminal quartic dispersion. The leading deviations with respect to the dispersionless flux are computed and shown to be governed by a critical frequency above which there is no radiation. Unlike the UV scale governing dispersion, its value critically depends on the asymptotic properties of the background. We also study the flux outside the robust regime. In particular we show that its low frequency part remains almost thermal but with a temperature which significantly differs from the standard one. Application to four dimensional black holes and Bose-Einstein condensates are in preparation.

We propose a connection between the newly formulated Virasoro minimal string and the well-established $(2,2m-1)$ minimal string by deriving the string equation of the Virasoro minimal string using the expansion of its density of states in powers of $E^{m+1/2}$. This string equation is expressed as a power series involving double-scaled multicritical matrix models, which are dual to $(2,2m-1)$ minimal strings. This reformulation of Virasoro minimal strings enables us to employ matrix theory tools to compute its $n$-boundary correlators. We analyze the scaling behavior of $n$-boundary correlators and quantum volumes $V^{(b)}_{0,n}(\ell_1,\dots,\ell_n)$ in the JT gravity limit.

This paper extends the study of the quantum dissipative effects of a cosmological scalar field by taking into account the cosmic expansion and contraction. Cheung, Drewes, Kang and Kim calculated the effective action and quantum dissipative effects of a cosmological scalar field. The analytic expressions for the effective potential and damping coefficient were presented using a simple scalar model with quartic interaction. Their work was done using Minkowski-space propagators in loop diagrams. In this work we incorporate the Hubble expansion and contraction of the comic background, and focus on the thermal dynamics of a scalar field in a regime where the effective potential changes slowly. We let the Hubble parameter, $H$, attain a small but non-zero value and carry out calculations to first order in $H$. If we set $H=0$ all results match those obtained previously in flat spacetime [1]. Interestingly we have to integrate over the resonances, which in turn leads to an amplification of the effects of a non-zero $H$. This is an intriguing phenomenon which cannot be uncovered in flat spacetime. The implications on particle creations in the early universe will be studied in a forthcoming work.

The formal Heisenberg equations of the Federbush model are linearized and then are directly integrated applying the method of dynamical mappings. The fundamental role of two-dimensional free massless pseudo-scalar fields is revealed for this procedure together with their locality condition taken into account. Thus the better insight into solvability of this model is obtained together with the additional phase factor for its general solution, and the meaning of the Schwinger terms is elucidated.

It has recently been observed that IIB string theory in the pp-wave background can be used to calculate certain quantities, such as the dimensions of BMN operators, as exact functions of the effective coupling lambda' = lambda/J^2. These functions interpolate smoothly between the weak and strong effective coupling regimes of N=4 SYM theory at large R charge J. In this paper we use the pp-wave superstring field theory of hep-th/0204146 to study more complicated observables. The expansion of the three-string interaction vertex suggests more complicated interpolating functions which in general give rise to fractional powers of lambda' in physical observables at weak effective coupling.

By generalizing the Feynman proof of the Lorentz force law, recently reported by Dyson, we derive equations of motion for particles possessing internal degrees of freedom $I^a$ which do not, in general, generate a finite algebra. We obtain consistency criteria for fields which interact with such particles. It is argued that when a particle with internal $SU_q(2)$ degrees of freedom is coupled to $SU(2)$ gauge fields, $SU(2)$ gauge invariance is broken to $U(1)$. We further claim that when such an $SU_q(2)$ particle acts as a source for the field theory, the second rank antisymmetric field tensor, in general, cannot be globally defined.

We study a family of 5-dimensional non-Abelian black holes that can be obtained by adding an instanton field to the well-known D1D5W Abelian black holes. Naively, the non-Abelian fields seem to contribute to the black-hole entropy but not to the mass due to their rapid fall-off at spatial infinity. By uplifting the 5-dimensional supergravity solution to 10-dimensional Heterotic Supergravity first and then dualizing it into a Type-I Supergravity solution, we show that the non-Abelian fields are associated to D5-branes dissolved into the D9-branes (dual to the Heterotic "gauge 5-branes") and that their associated RR charge does not, in fact, contribute to the entropy, which only depends on the number16 pages of D-strings and D5 branes and the momentum along the D-strings, as in the Abelian case. These "dissolved" or "gauge" D5-branes do contribute to the mass in the expected form. The correct interpretation of the 5-dimensional charges in terms of the string-theory objects solves the non-Abelian hair puzzle, allowing for the microscopic accounting of the entropy. We discuss the validity of the solution when alpha prime corrections are taken into account.

We compute the lowest order gravitational UV divergent radiative corrections to the S matrix element of the $fermion + fermion\rightarrow fermion + fermion$ scattering process in the massive Yukawa theory, coupled either to Unimodular Gravity or to General Relativity. We show that both Unimodular Gravity and General Relativity give rise to the same UV divergent contribution in Dimensional Regularization. This is a nontrivial result, since in the classical action of Unimodular Gravity coupled to the Yukawa theory, the graviton field does not couple neither to the mass operator nor to the Yukawa operator. This is unlike the General Relativity case. The agreement found points in the direction that Unimodular Gravity and General Relativity give rise to the same quantum theory when coupled to matter, as long as the Cosmological Constant vanishes. Along the way we have come across another unexpected cancellation of UV divergences for both Unimodular Gravity and General Relativity, resulting in the UV finiteness of the one-loop and $\kappa g^2$ order of the vertex involving two fermions and one graviton only.

Nonperturbative solutions to the nonlinear field equations in the NS sector of cubic as well as nonpolynomial superstring field theory can be obtained from a linear equation which includes a "spectral" parameter \lambda and a coboundary operator Q(\lambda). We borrow a simple ansatz from the dressing method (for generating solitons in integrable field theories) and show that classical superstring fields can be constructed from any string field T subject merely to Q(\lambda)T=0. Following the decay of the non-BPS D9 brane in IIA theory and shifting the background to the tachyon vacuum, we repeat the arguments in vacuum superstring field theory and outline how to compute classical solutions explicitly.

Nonperturbative solutions to the nonlinear field equations in the NS sector of cubic as well as nonpolynomial superstring field theory can be obtained from a linear equation which includes a "spectral" parameter \lambda and a coboundary operator Q(\lambda). We borrow a simple ansatz from the dressing method (for generating solitons in integrable field theories) and show that classical superstring fields can be constructed from any string field T subject merely to Q(\lambda)T=0. Following the decay of the non-BPS D9 brane in IIA theory and shifting the background to the tachyon vacuum, we repeat the arguments in vacuum superstring field theory and outline how to compute classical solutions explicitly.

Using the recently developed notion of a fractional Virasoro algebra, we explore the implied operator product expansions in nonlocal conformal field theories and their geometric meaning. We probe the interplay between classical nonlocality in the functional-analytic sense and quantization in a two-dimensional setting and find that nonlocal quantum dynamics realize this fractional Virasoro algebra exclusively with a state dependent central charge. Notably, we prove that the widely studied free Gaussian fixed points with a fractional Laplacian kinetic term does not fit this criterion but that the RG flow associated non-Gaussian fixed points do.

The Casimir stress on a cylinderical shell in background of conformally flat space-time for massless scalar field is investigated. In the general case of Robin (mixed) boundary condition formulae are derived for the vacuum expectation values of the energy-momentum tensor and vacuum forces acting on boundaries. The special case of the dS bulk is considered then different cosmological constants are assumed for the space inside and outside of the shell to have general results applicable to the case of cylindrical domain wall formations in the early universe.

We review the Reshetikhin-Turaev approach to construction of non-compact knot invariants involving R-matrices associated with infinite-dimensional representations, primarily those made from Faddeev's quantum dilogarithm. The corresponding formulas can be obtained from modular transformations of conformal blocks as their Kontsevich-Soibelman monodromies and are presented in the form of transcendental integrals, where the main issue is manipulation with integration contours. We discuss possibilities to extract more explicit and handy expressions which can be compared with the ordinary (compact) knot polynomials coming from finite-dimensional representations of simple Lie algebras, with their limits and properties. In particular, the quantum A-polynomials, difference equations for colored Jones polynomials should be the same, just in non-compact case the equations are homogeneous, while they have a non-trivial right-hand side for ordinary Jones polynomials.

We derive the Schwinger-Dyson/loop equations for the USp(2k) matrix model which close among the closed and open Wilson loop variables. These loop equations exhibit a complete set of the joining and splitting interactions required for the nonorientable Type I superstrings. The open loops realize the SO(2n_f) Chan-Paton factor and their linearized loop equations derive the mixed Dirichlet/Neumann boundary conditions.

These lecture notes are based on a six-hour series of lectures given at the XVII Modave summer school in mathematical physics, aimed at Ph.D. students in high-energy theoretical physics. The manuscript starts by briefly stating Goldstone's theorem and emphasises the motivations behind Goldstone physics; the main asset being the universality of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) which is the fundamental hypothesis of Goldstone's theorem. Once the different notions of SSB will be clarified/reviewed, Goldstone's theorem will be stated and proved. A prediction of this theorem is the existence of gapless particles, called Nambu-Goldstone modes (NG modes). From the discussion on Goldstone's results, some aspects of the NG modes will emerge. Besides to be gapless, they are systematically weakly coupled at low energy. Therefore, an effective field theory (EFT) building tool called ``coset construction'' will be presented to explicitly display these specific features of the NG modes. The coset construction suits our goal since it is mainly based on the symmetry realisation of the perturbed theory around the background inducing SSB. From the general obtained EFT, a counting rule for the NG modes will be derived. The limitations of this rule as well as the still ongoing generalisation will be discussed (e.g. spacetime symmetry breaking). The tools developed during this course will be illustrated with a concrete example in physics: ferromagnetism. The notes end with a brief state of the art of Goldstone physics. This provides some directions into which the interested reader could investigate to expand his knowledge on the subject. N.B.: No prerequisites are required beside the standard courses of a Master in theoretical physics.

We discuss the conditions for additional supersymmetry and twisted supersymmetry in N = (2, 2) supersymmetric non-linear sigma models described by one left and one right semi-chiral superfield and carrying a pair of non-commuting complex structures. Focus is on linear non-manifest transformations of these fields that have an algebra that closes off-shell. We find that additional linear supersymmetry has no interesting solution, whereas additional linear twisted supersymmetry has solutions with interesting geometrical properties. We solve the conditions for invariance of the action and show that these solutions correspond to a bi-hermitian metric of signature (2, 2) and a pseudo-hyperkaehler geometry of the target space.

After orientifold projection, the conifold singularity in hypermultiplet moduli space of Calabi-Yau compactifications cannot be avoided by geometric deformations. We study the non-perturbative fate of this singularity in a local model involving O6-planes and D6-branes wrapping the deformed conifold in Type IIA string theory. We classify possible A-type orientifolds of the deformed conifold and find that they cannot all be continued to the small resolution. When passing through the singularity on the deformed side, the O-plane charge generally jumps by the class of the vanishing cycle. To decide which classical configurations are dynamically connected, we construct the quantum moduli space by lifting the orientifold to M-theory as well as by looking at the superpotential. We find a rich pattern of smooth and phase transitions depending on the total sixbrane charge. Non-BPS states from branes wrapped on non-supersymmetric bolts are responsible for a phase transition. We also clarify the nature of a Z_2 valued D0-brane charge in the 6-brane background. Along the way, we obtain a new metric of G_2 holonomy corresponding to an O6-plane on the three sphere of the deformed conifold.

We establish an explicit correspondence of Einstein gravity on the squashed spheres that are the $U(1)$ bundles over $\mathbb{CP}^m$ to the Kaluza-Klein AdS gravity on the tori. This allows us to map the Ricci-flat Kerr metrics in odd dimensions with all equal angular momenta to charged Kaluza-Klein AdS black holes that can be lifted to become singly rotating M-branes and D3-branes. Furthermore, we find maps between Ricci-flat gravitational instantons to the AdS domain walls. In particular the supersymmetric bolt instantons correspond to domain walls that can be interpreted as distributed M-branes and D3-branes, whilst the non-supersymmetric Taub-NUT solutions yield new domain walls that can be lifted to become solutions in M-theory or type IIB supergravity. The correspondence also inspires us to obtain a new superpotential in the Kaluza-Klein AdS gravity in four dimensions.

The leading order of the large N limit of the O(N) symmetric phi-six theory in three dimensions has a phase which exhibits spontaneous breaking of scale symmetry accompanied by a massless dilaton which is a Goldstone boson. At the next-to-leading order in large N, the phi-six coupling has a beta function of order 1/N and it is expected that the dilaton acquires a small mass, proportional to the beta function and the condensate. In this note, we show that this "light dilaton" is actually a tachyon. This indicates an instability of the phase of the theory with spontaneously broken approximate scale invariance.

In this paper, following a stream of investigation on supersymmetric gauge theories with cosmic string solutions, we contemplate the possibility of building up a D-and-F term cosmic string by means of a gauge-field mixing in connection with a U(1) x U(1)'-symmetry. The spontaneous break of both gauge symmetry and supersymmetry are thoroughly analysed and the fermion zero-modes are worked out. The role of the gauge-field mixing parameter is elucidated in connection with the string configuration that comes out. As an application of the model presented here, we propose the possibility that the supersimetric cosmic string yield production of fermionic charge carriers that may eject, at their late stages, particles that subsequently decay to produce cosmic rays of ultra-high energy. In our work, it turns out that massive supersymmetric fermionic partners may be produced for a susy breaking scale in the range 10^{11} to 10^{13} GeV, which is compatible with the phenomenology of a gravitino mass at the TeV scale. We also determine the range of the gauge-field mixing parameter, \alpha, in connection with the mass scales of the present model.

We derive new effective field theory (EFT) positivity bounds on the elastic $2\to2$ scattering amplitudes of massive spinning particles from the standard UV properties of unitarity, causality, locality and Lorentz invariance. By bounding the $t$ derivatives of the amplitude (which can be represented as angular momentum matrix elements) in terms of the total ingoing helicity, we derive stronger unitarity bounds on the $s$- and $u$-channel branch cuts which determine the dispersion relation. In contrast to previous positivity bounds, which relate the $t$-derivative to the forward-limit EFT amplitude with no $t$ derivatives, our bounds establish that the $t$-derivative alone must be strictly positive for sufficiently large helicities. Consequently, they provide stronger constraints beyond the forward limit and can be used to constrain dimension-6 interactions with a milder assumption about the high-energy growth of the UV amplitude.

By bounding the $t$ derivatives of the amplitude (which can be represented as angular momentum matrix elements) in terms of the total ingoing helicity, we derive stronger unitarity bounds on the $s$- and $u$-channel branch cuts which determine the dispersion relation. In contrast to previous positivity bounds, which relate the $t$-derivative to the forward-limit EFT amplitude with no $t$ derivatives, our bounds establish that the $t$-derivative alone must be strictly positive for sufficiently large helicities. Consequently, they provide stronger constraints beyond the forward limit and can be used to constrain dimension-6 interactions with a milder assumption about the high-energy growth of the UV amplitude.

We examine the N=1 super sinh-Gordon (SShG) model restricted into the half line through a reduction from the defect SShG model. The B\"acklund transformations are employed to generate one-, two- and three-soliton solutions as well as a class of breathers solution for this model. The parameters of such classical solutions are shown to satisfy some contraints in order to preserve both integrability and supersymmetry properties of the original bulk theory. Additionally, previous results are recovered when performing the purely bosonic limit.

We revisit the stringy construction of four-dimensional de-Sitter solutions using orientifolds O$8_{\pm}$, proposed by C\'ordova et al. arXiv:1911.04498. While the original analysis of the supergravity equations is largely numerical, we obtain semi-analytic solutions by treating the curvature as a perturbative parameter. At each order we verify that the (permissive) boundary conditions at the orientifolds are satisfied. To illustrate the advantage of our result, we calculate the four-dimensional Newton constant as a function of the cosmological constant. We also discuss how the discontinuities at O$8_-$ can be accounted for in terms of corrections to the worldvolume action.

The properties of A-statistics, related to the class of simple Lie algebras sl(n+1) (Palev, T.D.: Preprint JINR E17-10550 (1977); hep-th/9705032), are further investigated. The description of each sl(n+1) is carried out via generators and their relations, first introduced by Jacobson. The related Fock spaces W_p (p=1,2,...) are finite-dimensional irreducible sl(n+1)-modules. The Pauli principle of the underlying statistics is formulated. In addition the paper contains the following new results: (a) The A-statistics are interpreted as exclusion statistics; (b) Within each W_p operators B(p)_1^\pm, ..., B(p)_n^\pm, proportional to the Jacobson generators, are introduced. It is proved that in an appropriate topology the limit of B(p)_i^\pm for p going to infinity is equal to B_i^\pm, where B_i^\pm are Bose creation and annihilation operators; (c) It is shown that the local statistics of the degenerated hard-core Bose models and of the related Heisenberg spin models is p=1 A-statistics.

We show that $CPT$ is in general violated in a non-quantum-mechanical way in the effective low-energy theory derived from string theory, as a result of apparent world-sheet charge non-conservation induced by stringy monopoles corresponding to target-space black hole configurations. This modification of quantum mechanics does not violate energy conservation. The magnitude of this effective spontaneous violation of $CPT$ may not be be far from the present experimental sensitivity in the neutral kaon system. We demonstrate that our previously proposed stringy modifications to the quantum-mechanical description of the neutral kaon system violate $CPT$, although in a different way from that assumed in phenomenological analyses within conventional quantum mechanics. We constrain the novel $CPT$-violating parameters using available data on $K_L \rightarrow 2\pi$, $K_S \rightarrow 3\pi ^0$ and semileptonic $K_{L,S}$ decay asymmetries. We demonstrate that these data and an approximate treatment of interference effects in $K \rightarrow 2\pi $ decays are consistent with a {\it non-vanishing} amount of $CPT$ violation at a level accessible to a new round of experiments, and further data and/or analysis are required to exclude the extreme possibility that they dominate over $CP$ violation. Could non-quantum-field theoretical and non-quantum-mechanical $CPT$ violation usher in the long-awaited era of string phenomenology?}

We study the dynamics of entanglement entropy for weakly excited states in conformal field theories by using the AdS/CFT. This is aimed at a first step to find a counterpart of Einstein equation in the CFT language. In particular, we point out that the entanglement entropy satisfies differential equations which directly correspond to the Einstein equation in several setups of AdS/CFT. We also define a quantity called entanglement density in higher dimensional field theories and study its dynamical property for weakly excited states in conformal field theories.

We investigate DBI inflation using $N$ multiple branes and show how the configuration is equivalent to a single wrapped $D5$-brane with flux. We then show how 1/N corrections can be implemented, and we examine the sound speed and levels of non-Gaussianities in two distinct cases. For models with constant warping we find that the non-Gaussian amplitude is bounded from above (as a function of $\gamma$). For $AdS$ backgrounds we find that the signature is generally large and positive, although is no longer globally defined over the full phase space. We then investigate an inflationary mechanism using a representation cascade, whereby the transition from a reducible representation to the irrep drives inflation.

We compute the prediction of the Nambu-Goto effective string model for a rectangular Wilson loop up to three loops. This is done through the use of an operatorial, first order formulation and of the open string analogues of boundary states. This result is interesting since there are universality theorems stating that the predictions up to three loops are common to all effective string models. To test the effective string prediction, we set up the Montecarlo evaluation, in the 3d Ising gauge model, of an observable (the ratio of two Wilson loops with the same perimeter) for which boundary effects are relatively small. Our simulation attains a level of precision which is sufficient to test the two-loop correction. The three-loop correction seems to go in the right direction, but is actually yet beyond the reach of our simulation, since its effect is comparable with the statistical errors of the latter.

The program of constructing spacetime geometry from string theoretic modular forms is extended to Calabi-Yau varieties of dimensions two, three, and four, as well as higher rank motives. Modular forms on the worldsheet can be constructed from the geometry of spacetime by computing the L-functions associated to omega motives of Calabi-Yau varieties, generated by their holomorphic $n-$forms via Galois representations. The modular forms that emerge from the omega motive and other motives of the intermediate cohomology are related to characters of the underlying rational conformal field theory. The converse problem of constructing space from string theory proceeds in the class of diagonal theories by determining the motives associated to modular forms in the category of motives with complex multiplication. The emerging picture indicates that the L-function can be interpreted as a map from the geometric category of motives to the category of conformal field theories on the worldsheet.

From the analysis of the near horizon geometry and supersymmetry algebra it has been argued that all the microstates of single centered BPS black holes with four unbroken supersymmetries carry zero angular momentum in the region of the moduli space where the black hole description is valid. A stronger form of the conjecture would be that the result holds for any sufficiently generic point in the moduli space. In this paper we set out to test this conjecture for a class of black hole microstates in type II string theory on $T^6$, represented by four stacks of D-branes wrapped on various cycles of $T^6$. For this system the above conjecture translates to the statement that the moduli space of classical vacua must be a collection of points. Explicit analysis of systems carrying a low number of D-branes supports this conjecture.

The behavior of the holographic entanglement entropy as a function of a scale of the system changes drastically between large noncommutativity and small noncommutativity. The strong subadditivity inequality for the entanglement entropies in the noncommutative Yang-Mills theory is modified in large noncommutativity. The behavior of entropic $c$-function defined by means of the entanglement entropy also changes drastically between large noncommutativity and small noncommutativity.

We investigate a two scalar fields split braneworld model which leads to a possible approach to the hierarchy problem within the thick brane scenario. The model exhibits a resulting asymmetric warp factor suitable for this purpose. The solution is obtained by means of the orbit equation approach for a specific value of one of the parameters. Besides, we analyze the model qualitative behaviour for arbitrary parameters by inspecting the underlying dynamical system defined by the equations which give rise to the braneworld model. We finalize commenting on the metric fluctuation and stability issues.

We discuss, in conformally invariant field theories such as QCD with massless fermions, a possible link between the perturbative signature of the conformal anomaly, in the form of anomaly poles of the 1-particle irreducible effective action, and its description in terms of Wess-Zumino actions with a dilaton. The two descriptions are expected to capture the UV and IR behaviour of the conformal anomaly, in terms of fundamental and effective degrees of freedom respectively, with the dilaton effective state appearing in a nonlinear realization. As in the chiral case, conformal anomalies seem to be related to the appearance of these effective interactions in the 1PI action in all the gauge-invariant sectors of the Standard Model. We show that, as a consequence of the underlying anomalous symmetry, the infinite hierarchy of recurrence relations involving self-interactions of the dilaton is entirely determined only by the first four of them. This relation can be generalized to any even space-time dimension.

We propose a way to discover, in tabletop experiments, spacetime-emergent materials, that is, materials holographically dual to higher-dimensional quantum gravity systems under the AdS/CFT correspondence. The emergence of the holographic spacetime is verified by a mathematical imaging transform of the response function on the material. We consider theories on a 1-dimensional ring-shaped material, and compute the response to a scalar source locally put at a point on the ring. When the theory on the material has a gravity dual, the imaging in the low temperature phase exhibits a distinct difference from the ordinary materials: the spacetime-emergent material can look into the holographically emergent higher-dimensional curved spacetime and provides an image as if a wave had propagated there. Therefore the image is an experimental signature of the spacetime emergence. We also estimate temperature, ring size and source frequency usable in experiments, with an example of a quantum critical material, TlCuCl$_3$.

It is shown that phi^4 theory can be regularised in five dimensions. Temperature dependent one-loop correction and critical temperature T_c are computed and T_c depends on the fundamental scale M of the theory. A brief discussion of symmetry restoration is also presented. The nature of phase transitions is examined and is of second order

Many theories beyond the Standard Model include extra dimensions, though these have yet to be directly observed. In this work we consider the possibility of a compactification mechanism which both allows extra dimensions and is compatible with current observations. This compactification is predicted to leave a signature on the CMB by altering the amplitude of the low l multipoles, dependent on the amount of inflation. Recently discovered CMB anomalies at low multipoles may be evidence for this. In our model we assume the spacetime is the product of a four-dimensional spacetime and flat extra dimensions. Before the compactification, both the four-dimensional space- time and the extra dimensions can either be expanding or contracting independently. Taking into account physical constraints, we explore the observational consequences and the plausibility of these different models.

One-loop and monopole bubbling effects are taken into account in the computation. As examples, we calculate the indices for N = 4 theories and N = 2 SU(2) theory with Nf = 4, and find good agreements between indices of line operators related by S-duality.

We study the Casimir effect in the classical geometry of two parallel conductive plates, separated by a distance $L$, for a Lorentz-breaking extension of the scalar field theory. The Lorentz-violating part of the theory is characterized by the term $\lambda \left( u \cdot \partial \phi \right )^{2}$, where the parameter $\lambda$ and the background four-vector $u ^{\mu}$ codify Lorentz symmetry violation. We use Green's function techniques to study the local behavior of the vacuum stress-energy tensor in the region between the plates. Closed analytical expressions are obtained for the Casimir energy and pressure. We show that the energy density $\mathcal{E}_{C}$ (and hence the pressure) can be expressed in terms of the Lorentz-invariant energy density $\mathcal{E}_{0}$ as follows \begin{align} \mathcal{E}_{C} (L) = \sqrt{\frac{1-\lambda u_{n} ^{2}}{1 + \lambda u ^{2}}} \mathcal{E}_{0} (\tilde{L}) , \notag \end{align} where $\tilde{L} = L / \sqrt{1-\lambda u_{n} ^{2}}$ is a rescaled plate-to-plate separation and $u_{n}$ is the component of $\vec{{u}}$ along the normal to the plates. As usual, divergences of the local Casimir energy do not contribute to the pressure.

Unlike three-dimensional Einstein gravity, three-dimensional massive gravity admits asymptotically de Sitter space (dS) black hole solutions. These black holes present interesting features and provide us with toy models to study the dS/CFT correspondence. A remarkable property of these black holes is that they are always in thermal equilibrium with the cosmological horizon of the space that hosts them. This invites us to study the thermodynamics of these solutions within the context of dS/CFT. We study the asymptotic symmetry group of the theory and find that it indeed coincides with the local two-dimensional conformal algebra. The charge algebra associated to the asymptotic Killing vectors consists of two copies of the Virasoro algebra with non-vanishing central extension. We compute the mass and angular momentum of the dS black holes and verify that a naive application of Cardy's formula exactly reproduces the entropy of both the black hole and the cosmological horizon. By adapting the holographic renormalization techniques to the case of dS space, we define the boundary stress tensor of the dual Euclidean conformal field theory.

In an effective theory of gravity, thermodynamic quantities of black holes receive corrections from the infinite series of higher derivative terms. At the next to leading order, these can be obtained by using only the leading order solution. In this paper, we push forward this property to the next to next to leading order. We propose a formula which yields the Euclidean action of asymptotically flat black holes at the next to next to leading order using only the solution up to and including the next to leading order. Other conserved quantities are derived from the Euclidean action via standard thermodynamic relation. We verify our formula in examples of $D$-dimensional pure gravity and Einstein-Maxwell theory extended by 4- and 6-derivative terms. Based on our formula, we also prove that for asymptotically flat black holes, the physical quantities are invariant under field redefinitions.

Revisiting the Coon amplitude, a deformation of the Veneziano amplitude with a logarithmic generalization of linear Regge trajectories, we scrutinize its potential origins in a worldsheet theory by proposing a definition of its $q$-deformation through the integral representation of the $q$-beta function. By utilizing $q$-deformed commutation relations and vertex operators, we derive the Coon amplitude within the framework of the dual resonance model. We extend this to the open-string context by $q$-deforming the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{su}(1,1)$, resulting in a well-defined $q$-deformed open superstring amplitude. We further demonstrate that the $q$-prefactor in the Coon amplitude arises naturally from the property of the $q$-integral. Furthermore, we find that two different types of $q$-prefactors, corresponding to different representations of the same scattering amplitude, are essentially the same by leveraging the properties of $q$-numbers. Our findings indicate that the $q$-deformed string amplitude defines a continuous family of amplitudes, illustrating how string amplitudes with a finite $\alpha^\prime$ uniquely flow to the amplitudes of scalar scattering in field theory at energy scale $\Lambda$ as $q$ changes from $1$ to $0$. This happens without the requirement of an $\alpha^\prime$ expansion, presenting a fresh perspective on the connection between string and field theories.

Charged rotating black holes of Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory in odd dimensions, $D \ge 5$, may possess a negative horizon mass, while their total mass is positive. This surprising feature is related to the existence of counterrotating solutions, where the horizon angular velocity $\Omega$ and the angular momentum $J$ possess opposite signs. Black holes may further possess vanishing horizon angular velocity while they have finite angular momentum, or they may possess finite horizon angular velocity while their angular momentum vanishes. In D=9 even non-static black holes with $\Omega=J=0$ appear. Charged rotating black holes with vanishing gyromagnetic ratio exist, and black holes need no longer be uniquely characterized by their global charges.

In this paper we study various aspects of classical solutions to the affine Toda equations on a half-line with integrable boundary conditions. We begin by finding conditions that the theory has a stable vacuum by finding a Bogomolny bound on the energy, and analysing the possible singularities of the field at the boundary. Using these constraints and extensive numerical investigations we classify the vacuum configurations and reflection factors for A_r^(1) Toda theories up to r=5.

We study the large N (planar) limit of pure SU(N) 2+1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory (YM_{2+1}) using a gauge-invariant matrix parameterization introduced by Karabali and Nair. This formulation crucially relies on the properties of local holomorphic gauge invariant collective fields in the Hamiltonian formulation of YM_{2+1}. We show that the spectrum in the planar limit of this theory can be explicitly determined in the $N=\infty$, low momentum (large 't Hooft coupling) limit, using the technology of the Eguchi-Kawai reduction and the existing knowledge concerning the one-matrix model. The dispersion relation describing the planar YM_{2+1} spectrum reads as $\omega(\vec{k}) = \sqrt{{\vec{k}}^2 + m_n^2}$, where $n=1,2,...$ and $m_n = n m_r$, where $m_r$ denotes the renormalized mass, the bare mass m being determined by the planar 't Hooft coupling $g_{YM}^2 N$ via $m= \frac{g_{YM}^2 N}{2 \pi}$.

We study the large N (planar) limit of pure SU(N) 2+1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory (YM_{2+1}) using a gauge-invariant matrix parameterization introduced by Karabali and Nair. This formulation crucially relies on the properties of local holomorphic gauge invariant collective fields in the Hamiltonian formulation of YM_{2+1}. We show that the spectrum in the planar limit of this theory can be explicitly determined in the $N=\infty$, low momentum (large 't Hooft coupling) limit, using the technology of the Eguchi-Kawai reduction and the existing knowledge concerning the one-matrix model. The dispersion relation describing the planar YM_{2+1} spectrum reads as $\omega(\vec{k}) = \sqrt{{\vec{k}}^2 + m_n^2}$, where $n=1,2,...$ and $m_n = n m_r$, where $m_r$ denotes the renormalized mass, the bare mass m being determined by the planar 't Hooft coupling $g_{YM}^2 N$ via $m= \frac{g_{YM}^2 N}{2 \pi}$. The planar, low momentum limit, also captures the expected short and long distance physics of YM_{2+1} and gives an interesting new picture of confinement. The computation of the spectrum is possible due to a reduction of the YM_{2+1} Hamiltonian for the large 't Hooft coupling to the {\it singlet} sector of an effective one matrix model. The crucial observation is that the correct vacuum (the large N master field), consistent with the area law and the existence of a mass gap, is described by an effective quadratic matrix model, in the large N, large 't Hooft coupling limit.

We show that the topological massive BF theories can be written as a pure BF term through field redefinitions. The fields are rewritten as power expansion series in the inverse of the mass parameter $m$. We also give a cohomological justification of this expansion through BRST framework. In this approach the BF term can be seen as a topological generator for massive BF theories.

We attempt to systematically derive tree-level scattering amplitudes in four-dimensional, planar, maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory from integrability. We first review the connections between integrable spin chains, Yangian invariance, and the construction of such invariants in terms of Grassmannian contour integrals. Building upon these results, we equip a class of Grassmannian integrals for general symmetry algebras with unitary integration contours. These contours emerge naturally by paying special attention to the proper reality conditions of the algebras. Specializing to psu(2,2|4) and thus to maximal superconformal symmetry in Minkowski space, we find in a number of examples expressions similar to, but subtly different from the perturbative physical scattering amplitudes. Our results suggest a subtle breaking of Yangian invariance for the latter, with curious implications for their construction from integrability.

In this paper, we have studied the effect of Born-Infeld electrodynamics in holographic $p$-wave superconductors with massive vector condensation. We have analysed this model in the probe limit using a variational method known as the St\"urm-Liouville eigenvalue approach. For this $p$-wave holographic superconductor model, we have calculated the critical temperature $T_{c}$ as well as the value of the condensation operator for two different choices of $m^{2}$. We have also pointed out the similarities and dissimilarities between this model for $m^{2} = 0$ and $p$-wave holographic superconductor model constructed out of Einstein-Yang-Mills theory. We have then computed the conductivity of these holographic superconductor models using a self-consistent approach and have shown that the DC conductivity diverges.

A Cachazo-He-Yuan (CHY) type formula is derived for the leading gluon, bi-adjoint scalar $\phi^3$, Yang-Mills-scalar and non-linear sigma model $m$-soft factors $S_m$ in arbitrary dimension. The general formula is used to evaluate explicit examples for up to three soft legs analytically and up to four soft legs numerically via comparison with amplitude ratios under soft kinematics. A structural pattern for gluon $m$-soft factor is inferred and a simpler formula for its calculation is conjectured. In four dimensions, a Cachazo-Svr\v{c}ek-Witten (CSW) recursive procedure producing the leading $m$-soft gluon factor in spinor helicity formalism is developed as an alternative, and Britto-Cachazo-Feng-Witten (BCFW) recursion is used to obtain the leading four-soft gluon factor for all analytically distinct helicity configurations.

For the noncommutative torus ${\cal T}$, in case of the N.C. parameter $\theta = \frac{Z}{n}$, we construct the basis of Hilbert space ${\ca$H}_n$ in terms of $\theta$ functions of the positions $z_i$ of $n$ solitons. The wrapping around the torus generates the algebra ${\cal A}_n$, which is the $Z_n \times Z_n$ Heisenberg group on $\theta$ functions. We find the generators $g$ of an local elliptic $su(n)$, w$transform covariantly by the global gauge transformation of ${\cal A}$By acting on ${\cal H}_n$ we establish the isomorphism of ${\cal A}_n$$g$. We embed this $g$ into the $L$-matrix of the elliptic Gaudin and$models to give the dynamics. The moment map of this twisted cotangent $su_n({\cal T})$ bundle is matched to the $D$-equation with Fayet-Illiopoulos source term, so the dynamics of the N.C. solitons becomes that of the brane. The geometric configuration $(k, u)$ of th$spectral curve ${\rm det}|L(u) - k| = 0$ describes the brane configuration, with the dynamical variables $z_i$ of N.C. solitons as$moduli $T^{\otimes n} / S_n$. Furthermore, in the N.C. Chern-Simons theory for the quantum Hall effect, the constrain equation with quasiparticle source is identified also with the moment map eqaution $the N.C. $su_n({\cal T})$ cotangent bundle with marked points. The eigenfunction of the Gaudin differential $L$-operators as the Laughli$wavefunction is solved by Bethe ansatz.

We construct representations of the Heisenberg algebra by pushing the perturbation expansion to high orders. If the multiplication operators $B_{1,2}$ tend to differential operators of order $l_{2,1}$, respectively, the singularity is characterized by $(l _{1},l_{2})$. Let $l_{1} \geq l_{2}$. Then the two cases A : ``$l_{2}$ does not divide $l_{1}$'' and B : ``$l_{2}$ divides $l_{1}$'' need a different treatment. The universality classes are labelled $[p,q]$ where $[p,q]$=[$l_{1}$,$l_{2}$] in case A and $[p,q]$=[$l_{1}+1$,$l_{2}$] in case B.

We study the properties of a single magnetic vortex and magnetic vortex lattices in a generalization of the Abelian Higgs model containing the simplest derivative interaction that preserves the $U(1)$ gauge symmetry of the original model. The paper is motivated by the study of finite isospin chiral perturbation theory in a uniform, external : since pions are Goldstone bosons of QCD (due to chiral symmetry breaking by the QCD vacuum), they interact through momentum dependent terms. We introduce a uniform external magnetic field and find the asymptotic properties of single vortex solutions and compare them to the well-known solutions of the standard Abelian Higgs Model. Furthermore, we study the vortex lattice solutions near the upper critical field using the method of successive approximations, which was originally used by Abrikosov in his seminal paper on type-II superconductors. We find the vortex lattice structure, which remains hexagonal as in the standard Abelian Higgs model, and condensation energy of the vortex lattices relative to the normal vacuum (in a uniform magnetic field).

This study was continued in the paper~\cite{FKRW} in the framework of vertex algebra theory. It was shown that the associated to $\widehat {\Cal D}\/$ simple vertex algebra $W_{1+ \infty, N}\/$ with positive integral central charge $N\/$ is isomorphic to the classical vertex algebra $W (gl_N)$, which led to a classification of modules over $W_{1 + \infty, N}$. In the present paper we study the remaining non-trivial case, that of a negative central charge $-N$. The basic tool is the decomposition of $N\/$ pairs of free charged bosons with respect to $gl_N\/$ and the commuting with $gl_N\/$ Lie algebra of infinite matrices $\widehat{gl}$.

During the last years significant progress has been made in the understanding of the confinement of quarks and gluons. However, this progress has been made in two directions, which are at first sight very different. On the one hand, topological configurations seem to play an important role in the formation of the static quark-anti-quark potential. On the other hand, when studying Green's functions, the Faddeev-Popov operator seems to be of importance, especially its spectrum near zero. To investigate whether a connection between both aspects exist, the eigenspectrum of the Faddeev-Popov operator in an instanton and a center-vortex background field are determined analytically in the continuum. It is found that both configurations give rise to additional zero-modes. This agrees with corresponding studies of vortices in lattice gauge theory. In the vortex case also one necessary condition for the confinement of color is fulfilled. Some possible consequences of the results will be discussed, and also a few remarks on monopoles will be given.

We consider the uncertainty relation between position and momentum of a particle on $ S^1 $ (a circle). Since $ S^1 $ is compact, the uncertainty of position must be bounded. Consideration on the uncertainty of position demands delicate treatment. Recently Ohnuki and Kitakado have formulated quantum mechanics on $ S^D $ (a $D$-dimensional sphere). Armed with their formulation, we examine this subject. We also consider parity and find a phenomenon similar to the spontaneous symmetry breaking. We discuss problems which we encounter when we attempt to formulate quantum mechanics on a general manifold.

In the context of extended phase space thermodynamics and the AdS-CFT correspondence, we consider the chemical potential ($\mu$) dual to the number of colours ($N$) of the boundary gauge theory, in the grand canonical ensemble. By appropriately defining $\mu$ via densities of thermodynamic quantities, we show that it changes sign precisely at the Hawking-Page transition for AdS-Schwarzschild and RN-AdS black holes in five dimensions, signalling the onset of quantum effects at the transition point. Such behaviour is absent for non-rotating black holes in four dimensions. For Kerr-AdS black holes in four and five dimensions, our analysis points to the fact that $\mu$ can change sign in the stable black hole region, i.e above the Hawking-Page transition temperature, for a range of angular frequencies. We also analyse AdS black holes in five dimensional Gauss-Bonnet gravity, and find similar features for $\mu$ as in the Kerr-AdS case.

We study the trace anomaly of the (2,0) tensor multiplet in d=6 in the presence of a background SO(5) vector field acting as a source for the R-current. Using both a free-field theory calculation and AdS_7/CFT_6 correspondence, we find that only one of the two possible anomaly structures is non-zero and that its coefficient at strong-coupling differs by the well-known overall factor 4N^3 from the corresponding weak coupling result. We also discuss the relevance of our result to studies of the R-current anomaly in the (2,0) multiplet.

We suggest a generalization of the Lie algebraic approach for constructing quasi-exactly solvable one-dimensional Schroedinger equations which is due to Shifman and Turbiner in order to include into consideration matrix models. This generalization is based on representations of Lie algebras by first-order matrix differential operators. We have classified inequivalent representations of the Lie algebras of the dimension up to three by first-order matrix differential operators in one variable. Next we describe invariant finite-dimensional subspaces of the representation spaces of the one-, two-dimensional Lie algebras and of the algebra sl(2,R). These results enable constructing multi-parameter families of first- and second-order quasi-exactly solvable models. In particular, we have obtained two classes of quasi-exactly solvable matrix Schroedinger equations.

We identify the BPS states responsible for gauge enhancements in the type IIB theory and their dual partners in the Heterotic theory compactified with and without Wilson lines. The masses of BPS states in Type IIB string theory compactified on the base space of a elliptically fibred K3 are computed explicitly for the special cases in which the complex structure of the fibre is constant, ie, for constant scalar fields backgrounds.

Recently dilogarithm identities have made their appearance in the physics literature. These identities seem to allow to calculate structure constants like, in particular, the effective central charge of certain conformal field theories from their fusion rules. In Nahm, Recknagel, Terhoeven (1992) a proof of identities of this type was given by considering the asymptotics of character functions in the so-called Rogers-Ramanujan sum form and comparing with the asymptotics predicted by modular covariance. Refining the argument, we obtain {\it the general connection of quantum dimensions of certain conformal field theories to the arguments of the dilogarithm function} in the identities in question and {\it an infinite set of consistency conditions on the parameters of Rogers-Ramanujan type partitions for them to be modular covariant}.

We study the regularization of theories of ``brane induced'' gravity in codimension $N>1$. The brane can be interpreted as a thin dielectric with a large dielectric constant, embedded in a higher dimensional space. The kinetic term for the higher dimensional graviton is enhanced over the brane. A four dimensional gravitation is found on the brane at distances smaller than a critical distance $r<r_c$, and is due to the exchange of a massive resonant graviton. The crossover scale $r_c$ is determined by the mass of the resonance. The suppression of the couplings of light Kaluza-Klein modes to brane matter results in a higher dimensional force law at large distances. We show that the resulting theory is free of ghosts or tachyons.

The possibility of the existence of small correction terms to the canonical commutation relations and the uncertainty relations has recently found renewed interest. In particular, such correction terms could induce finite lower bounds $\Delta x_0, \Delta p_0$ to the resolution of distances and/or momenta. I review a general framework for the path integral formulation of quantum field theories on such generalised geometries, and focus then on the mechanisms by which $\Delta p_0>0$, and/or $\Delta x_0>0$ lead to IR and/or UV regularisation.

We continue our study of multipoint correlators of scalar fields on the $1d$ defect CFT generated by inserting operators along the Maldacena-Wilson line in $\mathcal{N} = 4$ SYM. We present a weak-coupling recursion relation that captures correlators at next-to-leading order involving an arbitrary number of the elementary scalar fields $\phi^i$ and $\phi^6$, the latter being unprotected. We can then build correlators of composite operators by pinching the scalar fields together. As a demonstration of our method, we give explicit results for correlators containing up to six points. We also expand some selected correlators using recently obtained conformal blocks in the comb and snowflake channel, and check that the extracted low-lying CFT data is consistent with explicit computations.

We present the foundation for a holographic dictionary with depth perception. The dictionary consists of natural CFT operators whose duals are simple, diffeomorphism-invariant bulk operators. The CFT operators of interest are the "OPE blocks," contributions to the OPE from a single conformal family. In holographic theories, we show that the OPE blocks are dual at leading order in 1/N to integrals of effective bulk fields along geodesics or homogeneous minimal surfaces in anti-de Sitter space. One widely studied example of an OPE block is the modular Hamiltonian, which is dual to the fluctuation in the area of a minimal surface. Thus, our operators pave the way for generalizing the Ryu-Takayanagi relation to other bulk fields. Although the OPE blocks are non-local operators in the CFT, they admit a simple geometric description as fields in kinematic space--the space of pairs of CFT points. We develop the tools for constructing local bulk operators in terms of these non-local objects. The OPE blocks also allow for conceptually clean and technically simple derivations of many results known in the literature, including linearized Einstein's equations and the relation between conformal blocks and geodesic Witten diagrams.

In this second paper we complete the classical description of an isolated system of "charged positive-energy particles, with Grassmann-valued electric charges and mutual Coulomb interaction, plus a transverse electro-magnetic field" in the rest-frame instant form of dynamics. In particular we show how to determine a collective variable associated with the internal 3-center of mass on the instantaneous 3-spaces, to be eliminated with the constraints ${\vec {\cal K}}_{(int)} \approx 0$. Here ${\vec {\cal K}}_{(int)}$ is the Lorentz boost generator in the unfaithful internal realization of the Poincare' group and its vanishing is the gauge fixing to the rest-frame conditions ${\vec {\cal P}}_{(int)} \approx 0$. We show how to find this collective variable for the following isolated systems: a) charged particles with a Coulomb plus Darwin mutual interaction; b) transverse radiation field; c) charged particles with a mutual Coulomb interaction plus a transverse electro-magnetic field. Then we define the Dixon multipolar expansion for the open particle subsystem. We also define the relativistic electric dipole approximation of atomic physics in the rest-frame instant form and we find the a possible relativistic generalization of the electric dipole representation.

A baby-universe model of cosmic inflation is analyzed using quantum Darwinism. In this model cosmic inflation can be approximated as Brownian motion of a quantum field, and quantum Darwinism implies that decoherence is the result of quantum Brownian motion of the wave function. The quantum Darwinism approach to decoherence in the baby-universe cosmic-inflation model yields the decoherence times of the baby-universes. The result is the equation relating the baby-universe's decoherence time with the Hubble parameter. A brief discussion of the relation between Darwinism and determinism is provided in the Appendix.

We use the point-particle effective field theory (PPEFT) framework to describe particle-conversion mediated by a flavour-changing coupling to a point-particle. We do this for a toy model of two non-relativistic scalars coupled to the same point-particle, on which there is a flavour-violating coupling. It is found that the point-particle couplings all must be renormalized with respect to a radial cut-off near the origin, and it is an invariant of the flow of the flavour-changing coupling that is directly related to particle-changing cross-sections. At the same time, we find an interesting dependence of those cross-sections on the ratio k_out/k_in of the outgoing and incoming momenta, which can lead to a 1/k_in enhancement in certain regimes. We further connect this model to the case of a single-particle non-self-adjoint (absorptive) PPEFT, as well as to a PPEFT of a single particle coupled to a two-state nucleus. These results could be relevant for future calculations of any more complicated reactions, such as nucleus-induced electron-muon conversions, monopole catalysis of baryon number violation, as well as nuclear transfer reactions.

Unlike Einstein gravity, dilaton-Maxwell gravity with matter is renormalizable in $2+\epsilon$ dimensions and has a smooth $\epsilon\to 0$ limit.By performing a renormalization- group study of this last theory we show that the gravitational coupling constant $G$ has a non-trivial,ultraviolet stable fixed point (asymptotic freedom) and that the dilatonic coupling functions (including the dilatonic potential) exhibit also a real, non-trivial fixed point. At such point the theory represents a standard charged string-inspired model.Stability and the gauge dependence of the fixed-point solution is discussed.It is shown that all these properties remain valid in a dilatonic-Yang-Mills theory with $n$ scalars and $m$ spinors, that has the UF stable fixed point $G^* = 3\epsilon (48+12N-m-2n)^{-1}$.In addition, it is seen that by increasing $N$ (number of gauge fields) the matter central charge $C=n+m/2$ ($0<C<24+6N$) can be increased correspondingly (in pure dilatonic gravity $0<C<24$).

At such point the theory represents a standard charged string-inspired model.Stability and the gauge dependence of the fixed-point solution is discussed.It is shown that all these properties remain valid in a dilatonic-Yang-Mills theory with $n$ scalars and $m$ spinors, that has the UF stable fixed point $G^* = 3\epsilon (48+12N-m-2n)^{-1}$.In addition, it is seen that by increasing $N$ (number of gauge fields) the matter central charge $C=n+m/2$ ($0<C<24+6N$) can be increased correspondingly (in pure dilatonic gravity $0<C<24$).
