We briefly review attempts to construct string theories that yield the standard model, concentrating on models with a geometric interpretation. Calabi-Yau compactifications are discussed in the context of both the weakly coupled heterotic…
We obtain the bi-Hamiltonian structure of the super KP hierarchy based on the even super KP operator $\Lambda = \theta^{2} + \sum^{\infty}_{i=-2}U_{i} \theta^{-i-1}$, as a supersymmetric extension of the ordinary KP bi-Hamiltonian…
We study the phenomenological implications of effective supergravities based on string vacua with spontaneously broken N=1 supersymmetry by dilaton and moduli $F$-terms. We further require Minimal String Unification, namely that large…
It is well-known that solutions to the string equation are generated by elements of Sato's Grassmannian which are invariant under action of some differential operator. Here it is shown that this operator is nothing else than the…
We present an affine $sl (n+1)$ algebraic construction of the basic constrained KP hierarchy. This hierarchy is analyzed using two approaches, namely linear matrix eigenvalue problem on hermitian symmetric space and constrained KP Lax…
Based on the Orlov and Shulman's M operator, the additional symmetries and the string equation of the CKP hierarchy are established, and then the higher order constraints on $L^l$ are obtained. In addition, the generating function and some…
New relations of correlation functions are found in topological string theory; one for each second cohomology class of the target space. They are close cousins of the Deligne-Dijkgraaf-Witten's puncture and dilaton equations. When combined…
A $D>2$ topological string is presented by coupling the $2d$ topological gravity with the twisted version of the $N=2$ superconformal matter with $c=3k/(k-2)$. The latter is shown to admit $k+1$ chiral primary fields from the…
We propose a new higher-dimensional mechanism for solving the Hierarchy Problem. The Weak scale is generated from a large scale of order the Planck scale through an exponential hierarchy. However, this exponential arises not from gauge…
In the theory of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials, there exists a longstanding problem known as the Matrix Bochner Problem: the classification of all $N \times N$ weight matrices $W(x)$ such that the associated orthogonal polynomials…
The properties of highest-weight representations of the N=2 superconformal algebra in two dimensions can be considerably simplified when re-expressed in terms of relaxed ^sl(2) representations. This applies to the appearance of submodules…
We lay out an approach to derive the closed string dual to the simplest possible gauge theory, a single hermitian matrix integral, in the conventional 't Hooft large $N$ limit. In this first installment of three papers, we propose and…
Previous results on quasi-classical limit of the KP hierarchy and its W-infinity symmetries are extended to the Toda hierarchy. The Planck constant $\hbar$ now emerges as the spacing unit of difference operators in the Lax formalism. Basic…
Exploiting the residual gauge freedom in the formulation of constrained KP hierarchy a number of new integrable systems are derived including hierarchies of Kundu-Eckhaus equation and higher order nonlinear extensions of Yajima-Oikawa and…
Static solutions with a bulk dilaton are derived in the context of six dimensional warped compactification. In the string frame, exponentially decreasing warp factors are identified with critical points of the low energy $\beta$-functions…
To classify the classical field theories with W-symmetry one has to classify the symplectic leaves of the corresponding W-algebra, which are the intersection of the defining constraint and the coadjoint orbit of the affine Lie algebra if…
We consider four-dimensional, Riemannian, Ricci-flat metrics for which one or other of the self-dual or anti-self-dual Weyl tensors is type-D. Such metrics always have a valence-2 Killing spinor, and therefore a Hermitian structure and at…
We show that a recent proposal by Nambu to generate a hierarchy among Yukawa couplings in the standard model may be easily implemented in superstring models. In such models, two of the main ingredients of the Nambu proposal find a natural…
A constrained KP hierarchy is discussed that was recently suggested by Aratyn et al. and by Bonora et al. This hierarchy is a restriction of the KP to a submanifold of operators which can be represented as a ratio of two purely differential…
We construct a new multi-component CKP hierarchy based on the eigenfunction symmetry reduction. It contains two types of CKP equation with self-consistent sources which Lax representations are presented. Also it admits reductions to…
