Minimal string theory has a number of FZZT brane boundary states; one for each Cardy state of the minimal model. It was conjectured by Seiberg and Shih that all branes in a minimal string theory could be expressed as a linear combination of…
Correlation functions of primary fields in the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model are known to satisfy a system of Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) equations, which involve constants of motion of the exactly-solvable Gaudin magnet. We…
Monotone operators, especially in the form of subdifferential operators, are of basic importance in optimization. It is well known since Minty, Rockafellar, and Bertsekas-Eckstein that in Hilbert space, monotone operators can be understood…
In this paper we study matrix model realizations of Liouville conformal blocks with degenerate and irregular operators. The corresponding matrix model is Hermitian with a $\beta$-deformed measure and the degree of the potential corresponds…
We show how a boundary state different from the (1,1) Cardy state may be realised in the (m,m+1) minimal string by the introduction of an auxiliary matrix into the standard two hermitian matrix model. This boundary is a natural…
The structures in target space geometry that correspond to conformally invariant boundary conditions in WZW theories are determined both by studying the scattering of closed string states and by investigating the algebra of open string…
The paper gives a review of recent progress in the classification of monodromy-free Schr\"odinger operators with rational potentials. We concentrate on a class of potentials constituted by generalized Hermite polynomials. These polynomials…
In this thesis we initiate a systematic study of branes in Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten models with Lie supergroup target space. We start by showing that a branes' worldvolume is a twisted superconjugacy class and construct the action of the…
For a linear ODE with indeterminate coefficients, we explicitly exhibit a fundamental system of solutions, in terms of the coefficients. We show that the generalized Wronskians of the fundamental system are given by an action of the Schur…
We extend a result on renormalized oscillation theory, originally derived for Sturm-Liouville and Dirac-type operators on arbitrary intervals in the context of scalar coefficients, to the case of general Hamiltonian systems with block…
We reexamine the relativistic 2+1 dimensional Lee model in light-front coordinates on flat space and on a space-time with a spatial section given by a compact manifold in the usual canonical formalism. The simpler 2+1 dimension is chosen…
We study FZZT-branes and open string amplitudes in (p,q) minimal string theory. We focus on the simplest boundary changing operators in two-matrix models, and identify the corresponding operators in worldsheet theory through the comparison…
This work is a continuation and extension of the note published in the Russian Math Surveys 1997 n 6. For any pair of solutions of the spectral problem for the second order selfadjoint real Schrodinger Operator on the graph their Symplectic…
For operators generated by a certain class of infinite band matrices with matrix elements we establish a characterization of the resolvent set in terms of polynomial solutions of the underlying higher order finite difference equations. This…
We establish semiclassical resolvent estimates for Schr\"odinger operators with long-range matrix-valued potentials. As an application we prove resonance free domains both in trapping and non-trapping situations. Our results generalize the…
We describe a method for exactly diagonalizing clean $D$-dimensional lattice systems of independent fermions subject to arbitrary boundary conditions in one direction, as well as systems composed of two bulks meeting at a planar interface.…
We analyse the renormalisation group flow for D-branes in WZW models from the point of view of the boundary states. To this end we consider loop operators that perturb the boundary states away from their ultraviolet fixed points, and show…
The resolvent function of an operator in a Banach space is defined on an open subset of the complex plane and is holomorphic. It obeys the resolvent equation. A generalization of this equation to Schwartz distributions is defined and a…
We consider the eigenvalues of non-Hermitian random matrices in the symmetry class of the symplectic Ginibre ensemble, which are known to form a Pfaffian point process in the plane. It was recently discovered that the limiting correlation…
We investigate the algebra generated by the topological Wilson loop operators in WZW models. Wilson loops describe the nontrivial fixed points of the boundary renormalization group flows triggered by Kondo perturbations. Their enveloping…
