A Contribution of the Trivial Connection to the Jones Polynomial and Witten's Invariant of 3d Manifolds II
We extend the results of our previous paper from knots to links by using a formula for the Jones polynomial of a link derived recently by N. Reshetikhin. We illustrate this formula by an example of a torus link. A relation between the parameters of Reshetikhin's formula and the multivariable Alexander polynomial is est...

Solution of the Thirring Model with Imaginary Mass and Massless Scattering
The Thirring model with imaginary mass (or the sine-Gordon model with imaginary coupling) is deeply related to all the flows between minimal conformal theories. We solve this model explicitely using the Bethe ansatz. We find that there are Left and Right moving massless excitations with non trivial LR scattering. We co...

Twisting of N=1 SUSY Gauge Theories and Heterotic Topological Theories
It is shown that $D=4$ $N=1$ SUSY Yang-Mills theory with an appropriate supermultiplet of matter can be twisted on compact K\"ahler manifold. The conditions of cancellation of anomalies of BRST charge are found. The twisted theory has an appropriate BRST charge. We find a non-trivial set of physical operators defined a...

Reshetikhin's Formula for the Jones Polynomial of a Link: Feynman diagrams and Milnor's Linking Numbers
We use Feynman diagrams to prove a formula for the Jones polynomial of a link derived recently by N.~Reshetikhin. This formula presents the colored Jones polynomial as an integral over the coadjoint orbits corresponding to the representations assigned to the link components. The large $k$ limit of the integral can be c...

A mechanism of supersymmetry breaking in two or four-dimensions is given, in which the breaking is related to the Fermat's last theorem.

Exact four dimensional string solutions and Toda-like sigma models from `null-gauged' WZNW theories
We construct a new class of exact string solutions with a four dimensional target space metric of signature ($-,+,+,+$) by gauging the independent left and right nilpotent subgroups with `null' generators of WZNW models for rank 2 non-compact groups $G$. The `null' property of the generators (${\rm Tr }(N_n N_m)=0$) im...

The BRST Operator for the Large $N=4$ Superconformal Algebra
We review the detailed structure of the large $N=4$ superconformal algebra, and construct its BRST operator which constitutes the main object for analyzing $N=4$ strings. We then derive the general condition for the nilpotency of the BRST operator and show that there exists a line of critical $N=4$ string theories.

A Renormalization Group Flow Approach to Decoupling and Irrelevant Operators

Then, to all orders in perturbation theory, it is shown that effects of virtual heavy particles up t...
