The dimension of the Hilbert space of QFT scales exponentially with the volume of the space in which the theory lives, yet in supersymmetric theories, one can define a graded dimension (such as the supersymmetric index) that counts just the…
We study a matrix model obtained by dimensionally reducing Chern-Simon theory on S^3. We find that the matrix integration is decomposed into sectors classified by the representation of SU(2). We show that the N-block sectors reproduce SU(N)…
We study the dependence of supersymmetric partition functions on continuous parameters for the flavor symmetry group, $G_F$, for 2d $\mathcal{N} = (0,2)$ and 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric quantum field theories. In any…
Five-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories are investigated from the viewpoint of random plane partitions. It is shown that random plane partitions are factorizable as q-deformed random partitions so that they admit…
We show that the n-fold integrals $\chi^{(n)}$ of the magnetic susceptibility of the Ising model, as well as various other n-fold integrals of the "Ising class", or n-fold integrals from enumerative combinatorics, like lattice Green…
The generating function which counts partitions with the Plancherel measure (and its q-deformed version), can be rewritten as a matrix integral, which allows to compute its asymptotic expansion to all orders. There are applications in…
We show that the large $N$ limit of certain conformal field theories in various dimensions include in their Hilbert space a sector describing supergravity on the product of Anti-deSitter spacetimes, spheres and other compact manifolds. This…
We show that Yang-Mills matrix integrals remain convergent when a Myers term is added, and stay in the same topological class as the original model. It is possible to add a supersymmetric Myers term and this leaves the partition function…
This paper develops a method to carry out the large-$N$ asymptotic analysis of a class of $N$-dimensional integrals arising in the context of the so-called quantum separation of variables method. We push further ideas developed in the…
We describe and solve a double scaling limit of large N Yang-Mills theory on a two-dimensional torus. We find the exact strong-coupling expansion in this limit and describe its relation to the conventional Gross-Taylor series. The limit…
In this paper we consider families of multiparametric $R$-matrices to make a systematic study of the boundary Yang-Baxter equations in order to discuss the corresponding families of multiparametric $K$-matrices. Our results are indeed…
We consider, at the linearized level, the superspace formulation of lower-dimensional F-theory. In particular, we describe the embedding of 3D Type II supergravity of the superstring, or 4D, N=1 supergravity of M-theory, into the…
We study the large $N$ limit of partition functions for 5d supersymmetric gauge theories with fundamental matter. Depending on the matter content, we find that the scaling behaviour at the leading order can be either $N^2$ or…
We consider a family of Argyres-Douglas theories, which are 4D $\mathcal N=2$ strongly coupled superconformal field theories (SCFTs) but share many features with 4D $\mathcal N=4 $ super-Yang-Mills theories. In particular, the two central…
We construct ensembles of random integrable matrices with any prescribed number of nontrivial integrals and formulate integrable matrix theory (IMT) -- a counterpart of random matrix theory (RMT) for quantum integrable models. A type-M…
We study the properties of matrix models with soft confining potentials. Their precise mathematical characterization is that their weight function is not determined by its moments. We mainly rely on simple considerations based on orthogonal…
In the framework of quantum groups and additive R-matrices, the fusion procedure allows to construct higher-dimensional solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. These solutions lead to integrable one-dimensional spin-chain Hamiltonians. Here…
We use the AdS/CFT correspondence to study the thermodynamics of massive N=2 supersymmetric hypermultiplets coupled to N=4 supersymmetric SU(Nc) Yang-Mills theory in the limits of large Nc and large 't Hooft coupling. In particular, we…
The Multiparticle Models of Multilayered Materials (models M4) are developed to analyze easily the 3D stress fields which produce delamination or transverse crackings in laminates. The M4 models are built from 3D approximate stress fields…
We study the thermodynamics of the large N noncommutative super Yang-Mills theory in the strong 't Hooft coupling limit in the spirit of AdS/CFT correspondence. It has already been noticed that some thermodynamic quantities of near-extremal…
