Infinite dimensional symmetry of corner transfer matrices
We review some of the recent developments in two dimensional statistical mechanics in which corner transfer matrices provide the vital link between the physical system and the representation theory of quantum affine algebras. This opens many new possibilities, because the eigenstates may be described using the properti...

Quantum Hall effect from soliton equation
The Laughlin function of quantum Hall effect is shown to satisfy Hirota's bilinear difference equation with certain coefficients a little different from the KP hierarchy. Vertex operators which constitute blocks of solutions generate a B\"acklund transformation. Besides the Laughlin function, the equation admits solito...

$S^1 \times S^2$ wormholes and topological charge
I investigate solutions to the Euclidean Einstein-matter field equations with topology $S^1 \times S^2 \times R$ in a theory with a massless periodic scalar field and electromagnetism. These solutions carry winding number of the periodic scalar as well as magnetic flux. They induce violations of a quasi-topological con...

On Discrete Symmetries of the Multi-Boson KP Hierarchies
We show that the multi-boson KP hierarchies possess a class of discrete symmetries linking them to the discrete Toda systems. These discrete symmetries are generated by the similarity transformation of the corresponding Lax operator. This establishes a canonical nature of the discrete transformations. The spectral equa...

Towards a Semiclassical Seismology of Black Holes

For black holes whose lifetime is larger than the age of the universe we compute, in leading order, the power spectrum of deviations of the electromagnetic charge from it's average value, zero. Semiclassically the metric itself has a statistical interpretation and w...

Handle Operators in R.C.F.T
For the series associated to a group or coset R.C.F.T. there is a simple universal form for the inverse of the handle operator in the ring of fusions. These formulae may be easily understood from the quantization of the associated Chern-Simons theory. (Transcript of talk given at STRINGS '93 (Berkeley) Conference)

Linearized Form of the Generic Affine-Virasoro Action
Halpern and Yamron have given a Lorentz, conformal, and Diff S$_2$-invariant world-sheet action for the generic irrational conformal field theory, but the action is highly non-linear. In this paper, we introduce auxiliary fields to find an equivalent linearized form of the action, which shows in a very clear way that t...
