We compute the Casimir energy for a free scalar field on the spaces $\,R^{m+1}\,\times\,\tilde S^2\,$ where $,\tilde S^2\,$ is two-dimensional deformed two-sphere.
The one-loop free energy of the four-dimensional compact QED, which is known to be equivalent to the vector Sine-Gordon model, is calculated in the strong coupling regime. In the case, when the norm of the strength tensor of the…

We study large $n$ expansions for the partition function of a Coulomb gas $$Z_n=\frac 1 {\pi^n}\int_{\mathbb{C}^n}\prod_{1\le i<j\le n}|z_i-z_j|^2\prod_{i=1}^n e^{-nQ(z_i)}\, d^2 z_i,$$ where $Q$ is a radially symmetric confining potential…
A common approach to study nucleation rates is the estimation of free-energy barriers. This usually requires knowledge about the shape of the forming droplet, a task that becomes notoriously difficult in macromolecular setups starting with…
The vacuum energy is calculated for a free, conformally-coupled scalar field on the orbifold space-time \R$\times \S^2/\Gamma$ where $\Gamma$ is a finite subgroup of O(3) acting with fixed points. The energy vanishes when $\Gamma$ is…

We describe an approach to understanding exponential decay of correlation functions in asymptotically free theories. This approach is systematic; it does not start from any conjectured mechanism or picture. We begin by studying the metric…
