We initiate a search for non-perturbative consistency conditions in M theory. Some non-perturbative conditions are already known in Type I theories; we review these and search for others. We focus principally on possible anomalies in…

We explore via linearized perturbation theory the Gregory-Laflamme instability of the black string solutions of Einstein's equations with negative cosmological constant recently discussed in literature. Our results indicate that the black…

A tree-strip of finite cone type is the product of a tree of finite cone type with a finite set. We consider random Schr\"odinger operators on these tree strips, similar to the Anderson model. We prove that for small disorder the spectrum…

We consider a family of operators $-\Delta+ t V$ with a slowly decaying and oscillating potential $V$. We prove that the absolutely continuous spectrum of this operator is essentially supported by $[0,\infty)$ for almost every $t$.

We discuss the dynamical implications of the recent proof that for a quantum particle in a random potential on a regular tree graph absolutely continuous spectrum occurs non-perturbatively through rare fluctuation-enabled resonances. The…

We consider a continuous curve of linear elliptic formally self-adjoint differential operators of first order with smooth coefficients over a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary together with a continuous curve of global elliptic…

We discuss the spectral problem for integrable superstrings on generically twisted AdS_5 x S^5, meaning all its orbifolds and TsT transformed versions. We explicitly give the asymptotic description of these theories through a twisted…

We review a geometric approach to proving absolutely continuous (ac) spectrum for random and deterministic Schr\"odinger operators developed in \cite{FHS1,FHS2,FHS3,FHS4}. We study decaying potentials in one dimension and present a…

We provide a simplified version of the geometric method given by Froese, Hasler and Spitzer and use it to prove the existence of absolutely continuous spectrum for a Cayley tree of arbitrary degree k.

The discrete spectrum of complex banded matrices which are compact perturbations of the standard banded matrix of order $p$ is under consideration. The rate of stabilization for the matrix entries sharp in the sense of order which provides…

This thesis is almost entirely devoted to studying string theory backgrounds characterized by simple geometrical and integrability properties. The archetype of this type of system is given by Wess-Zumino-Witten models, describing string…

The variation of spectral subspaces for linear self-adjoint operators under an additive bounded perturbation is considered. The objective is to estimate the norm of the difference of two spectral projections associated with isolated parts…

In this note we construct self-dual cosmic strings from a gauge field theory with a generalized linear formation of potential energy density. By integrating the Einstein equation, we obtain a nonlinear elliptic equation which is equal with…

One of the first and therefore most important theorems in perturbation theory claims that for an arbitrary self-adjoint operator A there exists a perturbation B of Hilbert-Schmidt class with arbitrary small operator norm, which destroys…

We prove new criteria of stability of the absolutely continuous spectrum of one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators under slowly decaying perturbations. As applications, we show that the absolutely continuous spectrum of the free and…

We will consider cross products of finite graphs with a class of trees that have arbitrarily but finitely long line segments, such as the Fibonacci tree. Such cross products are called tree-strips. We prove that for small disorder random…

We study integrals appearing in one-loop amplitudes in string theory, and in particular their analytic continuation based on a string theoretic analog of the $i\varepsilon$-prescription of quantum field theory. For various zero- and…

We study a generalization of the notion of conservativity spectrum of an arithmetical theory to a language with transfinitely many truth definitions. We establish a correspondence of conservativity spectra and points of a generalized…

We suggest a conformally invariant generalization of string theory to higher-dimensional objects. As such a model, we consider a conformally invariant $\sigma$ model. For this theory, the Hamiltonian formalism is constructed, and the full…

We revisit the existence and stability of the critical front in the extended Fisher-KPP equation, refining earlier results of Rottsch\"afer and Wayne [28] which establish stability of fronts without identifying a precise decay rate. We…
