In this paper, we present a general scheme to construct integrable systems based on realization in the coboundary dynamical Poisson groupoids of Etingof and Varchenko. We also present a factorization method for solving the Hamiltonian…
This thesis considers massive field theories in 1+1 dimensions known as affine Toda quantum field theories. We first consider the boundary sine-Gordon model, deriving a complete picture of the boundary bound state structure for general…

We discuss novel properties of the string field and the Open String Field Theory action arising in a system with multiple D-branes, then use the level truncation scheme to study marginal deformations and tachyon condensation in a system…
We investigate orientifolds of type II string theory on K3 and Calabi-Yau 3-folds with intersecting D-branes wrapping special Lagrangian cycles. We determine quite generically the chiral massless spectrum in terms of topological invariants…
We survey recent results on quantum corrections to the hypermultiplet moduli space M in type IIA/B string theory on a compact Calabi-Yau threefold X, or, equivalently, the vector multiplet moduli space in type IIB/A on X x S^1. Our main…
We analyze the U-duality group for the case of a type II superstring compactified to four dimensions on a K3 surface times a torus. The various limits of this theory are considered which have interpretations as type IIA and IIB…
The topological vertex is a universal series which can be regarded as an object in combinatorics, representation theory, geometry, or physics. It encodes the combinatorics of 3D partitions, the action of vertex operators on Fock space, the…
We present several expected properties of the holomorphic Floer theory of a holomorphic symplectic manifold. In particular, we propose a conjecture relating holomorphic Floer theory of Hitchin integrable systems and Donaldson-Thomas…
We define a family of observables for abelian Yang-Mills fields associated to compact regions $U \subseteq M$ with smooth boundary in Riemannian manifolds. Each observable is parametrized by a first variation of solutions and arises as the…
We prove that the period maps from the Torelli space and the moduli space with level $m$ structure of Calabi-Yau type manifolds to the corresponding period domain of polarized Hodge structures are injective. The proof is based on the…
We initiate the study of wall crossing phenomena in orientifolds of local toric Calabi-Yau 3-folds from a topological string perspective. For this purpose, we define a notion of real Donaldson-Thomas partition function at the large volume,…
We construct a sequence of complete moduli spaces $$E_0 \subset E_1 \subset E_2 \subset \dots E_n \subset\dots,$$ each of which is isomorphic to a weighted projective space. These spaces parameterize certain $n$-dimensional Calabi-Yau…
We give an introduction to Joyce's construction of the motivic Hall algebra of coherent sheaves on a variety M. When M is a Calabi-Yau threefold we define a semi-classical integration map from a Poisson subalgebra of this Hall algebra to…
The integrability of the N-cosine model, a N-field generalization of the sine-Gordon model, is investigated. We establish to first order in conformal perturbation theory that, for arbitrary N, the model possesses a quantum conserved current…
Recent work initiated by Strominger has lead to a consistent physical interpretation of certain types of transitions between different string vacua. These transitions, discovered several years ago, involve singular conifold configurations…
A brane in a symplectic manifold is a coisotropic submanifold $Y$ endowed with a compatible closed 2-form $F$, which together induce a transverse complex structure. For a specific class of branes we give an explicit description of branes…
We study the moduli space of SU(3) structure manifolds X that form the internal compact spaces in four-dimensional N=1/2 domain wall solutions of heterotic supergravity with flux. Together with the direction perpendicular to the…
In this paper we study the moduli stack of complexes of vector bundles (with chain isomorphisms) over a smooth projective variety $X$ via derived algebraic geometry. We prove that if $X$ is a Calabi-Yau variety of dimension $d$ then this…
For an integrable Hamiltonian system we construct a representation of the phase space symmetry algebra over the space of functions on a Lagrangian manifold. The representation is a result of the canonical quantization of the integrable…
