The two matrix model is considered, with measure given by the exponential of a sum of polynomials in two different variables. It is shown how to derive a sequence of pairs of ``dual'' finite size systems of ODEs for the corresponding…

We study the relationship between singularities of finite-dimensional integrable systems and singularities of the corresponding spectral curves. For the large class of integrable systems on matrix polynomials, which is a general framework…

A notion of dual curve for pseudoholomorphic curves in 4--manifolds turns out to be possible only if the notion of almost complex structure structure is slightly generalized. The resulting structure is as easy (perhaps easier) to work with,…

Two method for computation of the spectra of certain infinite graphs are suggested. The first one can be viewed as a reversed Gram--Schmidt orthogonalization procedure. It relies heavily on the spectral theory of Jacobi matrices. The second…

This article has two purposes. The first is to give an expository account of the integrable systems approach to harmonic maps from surfaces to Lie groups and symmetric spaces, focusing on spectral curves for harmonic 2-tori. The most…

We describe relationships between integrable systems with N degrees of freedom arising from the AGT conjecture. Namely, we prove the equivalence (spectral duality) between the N-cite Heisenberg spin chain and a reduced gl(N) Gaudin model…

On networks representing probability currents between states of a system, we generalize Schnakenberg's theory of nonequilibrium observables to nonsteady states, with the introduction of a new set of macroscopic observables that, for planar…

We establish a general link between integrable systems in algebraic geometry (expressed as Jacobian flows on spectral curves) and soliton equations (expressed as evolution equations on flat connections). Our main result is a natural…

Using duality in optimization theory we formulate a dual approach to the S-matrix bootstrap that provides rigorous bounds to 2D QFT observables as a consequence of unitarity, crossing symmetry and analyticity of the scattering matrix. We…

We consider a non-relativistic quantum particle interacting with a singular potential supported by two parallel straight lines in the plane. We locate the essential spectrum under the hypothesis that the interaction asymptotically…

The so-called 2d/4d correspondences connect two-dimensional conformal field theory (2d CFT), N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories and quantum integrable systems. The latter in the simplest case of the SU(2) gauge group are nothing but the…

The correlation functions for models of minimal gravity are discussed. An algorithm is proposed for calculations of invariant ratios from formulas of residues that can be compared with the coefficients of expansion of the partition function…

We compute the mixed correlation function in a way which involves only the orthogonal polynomials with degrees close to $n$, (in some sense like the Christoffel Darboux theorem for non-mixed correlation functions). We also derive new…

We formulate a refined theory of linear systems, using the methods of a previous paper, "A Theory of Branches for Algebraic Curves", and use it to give a geometric interpretation of the genus of an algebraic curve. Using principles of…

The concept of self-dual supersymmetric nonlinear electrodynamics is generalized to a curved superspace of N = 1 supergravity, for both the old minimal and the new minimal versions of N = 1 supergravity. We derive the self-duality equation,…

In our recent paper we described relationships between integrable systems inspired by the AGT conjecture. On the gauge theory side an integrable spin chain naturally emerges while on the conformal field theory side one obtains some special…

We consider the simplest gauge theories given by one- and two- matrix integrals and concentrate on their stringy and geometric properties. We remind general integrable structure behind the matrix integrals and turn to the geometric…

We consider Dotsenko-Fateev matrix models associated with compactified Calabi-Yau threefolds. They can be constructed with the help of explicit expressions for refined topological vertex, i.e. are directly related to the corresponding…

We give a summary on spectral techniques for finite dimensional algebras and study its link to singularity theory. In particular, we offer a contribution to the categorification of the Milnor lattice of two-dimensional singularities through…

We propose a holographic duality between a 2 dimensional (2d) chiral superconformal field theory and a certain theory of supergravity in 3d with flatspace boundary conditions that is obtained as a double scaling limit of a parity breaking…
