We confirm the intuition that a string theory which is perturbatively infrared finite is automatically perturbatively ultraviolet finite. Our derivation based on the asymptotics of the Selberg trace formula for the Greens function on a…
We consider an inverse spectral problem for a class of non-compact Hankel operators $H$ such that the modulus of $H$ (restricted onto the orthogonal complement to its kernel) has simple spectrum. Similarly to the case of compact operators,…
We solve closed string theory in all regular homogeneous plane-wave backgrounds with homogeneous NS three-form field strength and a dilaton. The parameters of the model are constant symmetric and anti-symmetric matrices k_{ij} and f_{ij}…
In this work a spectral theory for 2-dimensional, simply periodic, complex-valued solutions u of the sinh-Gordon equation is developed. Spectral data for such solutions are defined (following Hitchin and Bobenko) and the space of spectral…
This paper is concerned with inverse spectral problems for higher-order ($n > 2$) ordinary differential operators. We develop an approach to the reconstruction from the spectral data for a wide range of differential operators with either…
Inverse spectral problems for Sturm-Liouville operators with nonlocal boundary conditions are studied. As the main spectral characteristics we introduce the so-called Weyl-type function and two spectra, which are generalizations of the…
We study the direct and inverse spectral problems for semiclassical operators of the form $S = S_0 +\h^2V$, where $S_0 = \frac 12 \Bigl(-\h^2\Delta_{\bbR^n} + |x|^2\Bigr)$ is the harmonic oscillator and $V:\bbR^n\to\bbR$ is a tempered…
We investigate numerically the configurational statistics of strings. The algorithm models an ensemble of global $U(1)$ cosmic strings, or equivalently vortices in superfluid $^4$He. We use a new method which avoids the specification of…
We solve the inverse spectral problems for the class of Sturm--Liouville operators with singular real-valued potentials from the Sobolev space W^{s-1}_2(0,1), s\in[0,1]. The potential is recovered from two spectra or from the spectrum and…
The inverse problem associated to the Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv constant and the $\eta$-constant is solved for finite abelian groups of the form $C_2 \oplus C_2 \oplus C_{2n}$ where $n \ge 2$ is an integer.
Weyl theory for a non-classical system depending rationally on the spectral parameter is treated. Borg-Marchenko-type uniqueness theorem is proved. The solution of the inverse problem is constructed. An application to sine-Gordon equation…
This note deals with the direct and inverse spectral analysis for a class of infinite band symmetric matrices. This class corresponds to operators arising from difference quations with usual and inner boundary conditions. We give a…
We study the instability of the spectrum for a class of non-selfadjoint anharmonic oscillators, estimating the behavior of the instability indices (i. e. the norm of spectral projections) associated with the large eigenvalues of these…
The paper aims at developing the Riemann-Hilbert problem approach to the modified Camassa-Holm (mCH) equation in the case when the solution is assumed to approach a non-zero constant at the both infinities of the space variable. In this…
We investigate the instabilities of low winding number electroweak strings using standard numerical techniques of linear algebra. For strings of unit winding we are able to confirm and extend existing calculations of the unstable region in…
