We study a three-point correlator of the three heavy vertex operators representing the circular winding string states which are point-like in AdS_5 and rotating with two spins and two winding numbers in S^5. We restrict ourselves to the…
The usual Laurent expansion of the analytic tensors on the complex plane is generalized to any closed and orientable Riemann surface represented as an affine algebraic curve. As an application, the operator formalism for the $b-c$ systems…
We study a one-dimensional non-stationary Schr\"odinger equation with a potential slowly depending on time. The corresponding stationary operator depends on time as on a parameter. It has a finite number of negative eigenvalues and…
Open-string theories may be related to suitable models of oriented closed strings. The resulting construction of ``open descendants'' is illustrated in a few simple cases that exhibit some of its key features.
A discrete string theory --a theory of embeddings from ${\bf Z}\times {\bf Z}_C\to {\bf R}^D$, where $C$ is the number of components of the string-- is explored. The closure of the algebra of constraints (`${\bf Z}_C$-Virasoro algebra') is…
After reviewing the Green-Schwarz superstring using the approach of Siegel, the superstring is covariantly quantized by constructing a BRST operator from the fermionic constraints and a bosonic pure spinor ghost variable. Physical massless…
We propose a new entry within the dictionary of the AdS/CFT duality at strong coupling: in the limit of a large spin or a large R-charge, the anomalous dimension of the gauge theory operator dual to a semiclassical rotating string is…
One may obtain, using operator transformations, algebraic relations between the Fourier transforms of the causal propagators of different exactly solvable potentials. These relations are derived for the shape invariant potentials. Also,…
The Schr\"odinger operator on a metric tree is a family of ordinary differential operators on its edges complemented by certain matching conditions at the vertices. The regular trees are highly symmetric. This allows one to construct an…
The divergence-like operator on an odd symplectic superspace which acts invariantly on a specially chosen odd vector field is considered. This operator is used to construct an odd invariant semidensity in a geometrically clear way. The…
We study a special anisotropic XYZ-model on a periodic chain of an odd length and conjecture exact expressions for certain components of the ground state eigenvectors. The results are written in terms of tau-functions associated with…
We investigate numerically the configurational statistics of strings. The algorithm models an ensemble of global $U(1)$ cosmic strings, or equivalently vortices in superfluid $^4$He. We use a new method which avoids the specification of…
We show the completeness of the system of generalized eigenfunctions of closed extensions of elliptic cone operators under suitable conditions on the symbols.
The classical spectral theorem completely describes self-adjoint operators on finite dimensional inner product vector spaces as linear combinations of orthogonal projections onto pairwise orthogonal subspaces. We prove a similar theorem for…
The free field realization of the eight-vertex model is extended to form factors. It is achieved by constructing off-diagonal with respect to the ground state sectors matrix elements of the $\Lambda$ operator which establishes a relation…
We consider bound states of strings which arise in 6d (1,0) SCFTs that are realized in F-theory in terms of linear chains of spheres with negative self-intersections 1,2, and 4. These include the strings associated to N small E8 instantons,…
In this note, we define a bounded variant on the Hilbert projective metric on an infinite dimensional space $E$ and study the contraction properties of the projective maps associated with positive linear operators on $E$. More precisely, we…
We consider a critical composite superconformal string model to desribe hadronic interactions. We present a new approach of introducing hadronic quantum numbers in the scattering amplitudes. The physical states carry the quantum numbers and…
It is known that the spectrum of Schr\"odinger operators with sparse potentials consists of singular continuous spectrum. We give a sufficient condition so that the edge of the singular continuous spectrum is not an eigenvalue and construct…
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…
