All correlation functions of conserved currents of the CFT that is dual to unbroken Vasiliev theory are found as invariants of higher-spin symmetry in the bulk of AdS. The conformal and higher-spin symmetry of the correlators as well as the…

We use differential forms on loop spaces to prove that the fundamental group of certain geometric transformation groups is infinite. Examples include both finite and infinite dimensional Lie groups. The finite dimensional examples are the…

In this paper, we first review one of difficult parts of the proof of Witten's conjecture by Kontsevich that had not been emphasized before. In the derivation of the KdV equations, we review the boson-fermion correspondence method \cite{K}…

We study self-similar sets and measures on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$. Assuming that the defining iterated function system $\Phi$ does not preserve a proper affine subspace, we show that one of the following holds: (1) the dimension is equal to the…

We consider the question of reducibility of the differential system to normalized Fuchsian form on the Riemann sphere. The differential equations for the multiloop integrals in $\epsilon$-form constitute a particular example of the…

We prove the existence of a loop type component of non-negative solutions for an indefinite elliptic equation with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. This result complements our previous results obtained in [12], where the existence…

We show that the non-linear autonomus Wei-Norman equations, expressing the solution of a linear system of non-autonomous equations on a Lie algebra, can be reduced to the hierarchy of matrix Riccati equations in the case of all classical…

We show that position space correlators of a Poincare invariant quantum field theory can be recast in terms of conformally invariant correlators, in other words, as functions of conformal cross ratios. In particular, we show that…

This paper is part of an effort to gain further understanding of 2D Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories (LCFTs) by exploring their lattice regularizations. While all work so far has dealt with the Virasoro algebra (or the product of left…

We study integrable hierarchies associated with spectral problems of the form $P\psi=\lambda Q\psi$ where $P,Q$ are difference operators. The corresponding nonlinear differential-difference equations can be viewed as inhomogeneous…

The Pfaffian structure of the boundary monomer correlation functions in the dimer-covering planar graph models is rederived through a combinatorial / topological argument. These functions are then extended into a larger family of…

Large-N multi-matrix loop equations are formulated as quadratic difference equations in concatenation of gluon correlations. Though non-linear, they involve highest rank correlations linearly. They are underdetermined in many cases.…

We study a model of densely packed self-avoiding loops on the annulus, related to the Temperley Lieb algebra with an extra idempotent boundary generator. Four different weights are given to the loops, depending on their homotopy class and…

The half-supersymmetric Wilson loop in $\mathcal N=4$ SYM is arguably the central non-local operator in the AdS/CFT correspondence. On the field theory side, the vacuum expectation values of Wilson loops in arbitrary representations of…

We study reciprocity laws involving complex line bundles on fibrations in oriented circles. In particularly, we prove the following reciprocity law. Let $B$ be a complex manifold and $\pi_i : M_i \to B$ be a fibration in oriented circles,…

An integrable structure behind Witten--Dijkgraaf--Verlinde--Verlinde (WDVV) equations is identified with reduction of a Riemann-Hilbert problem for a homogeneous GL(N, C) loop group. Reduction requires the dressing matrices to be fixed…

We consider a class of sigma models that appears from a generalisation of the gauged WZW model parametrised by a constant matrix $Q$. Particular values of $Q$ correspond to the standard gauged WZW models, chiral gauged WZW models and a…

We derive exact formulas for circular Wilson loops in the $\mathcal{N}=4$ and $\mathcal{N}=2^{* }$ theories with gauge groups $U(N)$ and $SU(N)$ in the $k$-fold symmetrized product representation. The formulas apply in the limit of large…

The correlation functions of the multi-arc complex matrix model are shown to be universal for any finite number of arcs. The universality classes are characterized by the support of the eigenvalue density and are conjectured to fall into…
