We study the nonlinear response of non-integrable 1D spin models using infinite matrix-product state techniques. As a benchmark and demonstration of the method, we first calculate the 2D coherent spectroscopy for the exactly soluble…

We define Landau-Lifshitz sigma models on general coset space $G/H$, with $H$ a maximal stability sub-group of $G$. These are non-relativistic models that have $G$-valued N\"other charges, local $H$ invariance and are classically…

In this note, we investigate the Steklov spectrum of the warped product $[0,L]\times_h \Sigma$ equipped with the metric $dt^2+h(t)^2g_\Sigma$, where $\Sigma$ is a compact surface. We find sharp upper bounds for the Steklov eigenvalues in…

We construct a sequence of boundary value problems on compact subsets of smooth noncompact hyperbolic surfaces of finite area. We prove that the sesquilinear forms associated to these boundary value problems are stable as well as consistent…

We investigate the relation between the algebraic construction of boundary states in AdS_3 and the target space analysis of D-branes and show the consistency of the two descriptions. We compute, in the semiclassical regime, the overlap of a…

In this paper we show how one can obtain very simply the spectra of the PP-wave limits of M-theory over AdS_7(4) x S^4(7) spaces and IIB superstring theory over AdS_5 x S^5 from the oscillator construction of the Kaluza-Klein spectra of…

Sigma models on coset superspaces, such as odd dimensional superspheres, play an important role in physics and in particular the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this work we apply recent general results on the spectrum of coset space models and…

Starting from the classical action for a spin-zero particle in a D-dimensional anti-Sitter (AdS) spacetime, we recover the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound by quantization. For D=4,5,7, and using an Sl(2;K) spinor notation for K=R,C,H, we find…

We study the dimension theory of limit sets of iterated function systems consisting of a countably infinite number of conformal contractions. Our focus is on the Assouad type dimensions, which give information about the local structure of…

We conjecture that the $O(N)$-symmetric non-linear sigma model in the semi-infinite $(1+1)$-dimensional space is ``integrable'' with respect to the ``free'' and the ``fixed'' boundary conditions. We then derive, for both cases, the boundary…

We study the breaking of supersymmetry in five-dimensional (5d) warped spaces, using the Randall-Sundrum model as a prototype. In particular, we present a supersymmetry-breaking mechanism which has a geometrical origin, and consists of…

We derive fully covariant expressions for disk scattering amplitudes of any two massless closed strings in which mixed Neumann and Dirichlet world-sheet boundary conditions are included. From the two-point amplitudes, we derive the long…

We develop a perturbative approach to study the supersymmetric non-linear sigma model characterized by a generic coupling matrix in the strong coupling limit. The method allows us to calculate explicitly the moments of the eigenfunctions…

We use supersymmetry to calculate exact spectral densities for a class of complex random matrix models having the form $M=S+LXR$, where $X$ is a random noise part $X$ and $S,L,R$ are fixed structure parts. This is a certain version of the…

We investigate a large class of supersymmetric magnetic brane solutions supported by U(1) gauge fields in AdS gauged supergravities. We obtain first-order equations in terms of a superpotential. In particular, we find systems which…

We obtain the elliptic genera of monopole strings in 5d MSYM. We find agreement with corresponding TST-dual dyonic-instanton single particle indices in 1110.2175. We make use of (2,2) superconformal algebra and its spectral flow, and the…

We investigate the subset of exactly solvable (0,4) world sheet supersymmetric string vacua contained in a recent class of Gepner-like (0,2) superconformal models. The identification of these models with certain points of enhanced gauge…

A natural SL(2,Z) invariant generalization of the Veneziano amplitude in type IIB superstring theory is investigated. It includes certain perturbative and non-perturbative (D-instanton) contributions, and it reduces to the correct…

The spectral radius {\rho}(G) of a digraph G is the maximum modulus of the eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. We present bounds on {\rho}(G) that are often tighter and are applicable to a larger class of digraphs than previously reported…

We revisit some aspects of D-brane theory from the point of view of anomalies. When the boundary condition on a worldsheet boson is flipped from Neumann to Dirichlet, worldsheet supersymmetry requires also reversing the sign of the boundary…
