We analyze the theory of massive fermions in the fundamental representation coupled to a U(N) Chern-Simons gauge theory at level K. It is done in the large N, large K limits where \lambda=N/K is kept fixed. Following arXiv:1110.4386 we…

Non-perturbative aspects of the physics of $Sp(2N)$ gauge theories are interesting for phenomenological and theoretical reasons, and little studied so far, particularly in the approach to the large-$N$ limit. We examine the spectrum of…

We provide a rigorous proof of the fact that the level density of all su(m) spin chains of Haldane-Shastry type associated with the A_{N-1} root system approaches a Gaussian distribution as the number of spins N tends to infinity. Our…

Beisert et al. have identified an integrable SU(2,2) quantum spin chain which gives the one-loop anomalous dimensions of certain operators in large N QCD. We derive a set of nonlinear integral equations (NLIEs) for this model, and compute…

We study a $PT$-symmetric quantum mechanical model with an O(N)-symmetric potential of the form $m^{2}\vec{x}^{2}/2-g(\vec{x}^{2})^{2}/N$ using its equivalent Hermitian form. Although the corresponding classical model has finite-energy…

In this paper the relativistic quantum dynamics of a spin-1/2 neutral particle with a magnetic moment $\mu$ in the cosmic string spacetime is reexamined by applying the von Neumann theory of self--adjoint extensions. Contrary to previous…

The massless Gross-Neveu and chiral Gross-Neveu models are well known examples of integrable quantum field theories in 1+1 dimensions. We address the question whether integrability is preserved if one either replaces the four-fermion…

We describe the large $N$ limit of spectral duality between rational Gaudin models introduced by Adams, Harnad and Hurtubise. The limit of the ${\rm gl}_N$ model is performed by means of a noncommutative torus algebra represented by the…

Motivated by recent measurements on CuGeO$_3$ the spectrum of magnetic excitations of an antiferromagnetic $S=\frac{1}{2}$ chain with alternating coupling strength is investigated. Wave vector dependent magnons and a continuum with square…
