We analyse semiclassical strings in AdS in the limit of one large spin. In this limit, classical string dynamics is described by a finite number of collective coordinates corresponding to spikes or cusps of the string. The semiclassical…

We derive a relation between leading finite size corrections for a 1+1 dimensional quantum field theory on a strip and scattering data, which is very similar in spirit to the approach pioneered by Luscher for periodic boundary conditions.…
Corrections to the asymptotic correlation function in a Heisenberg spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic spin chain are known to vanish slowly (logarithmically) as a function of the distance r or the chain size L. This leads to significant differences…
We consider 4d $\mathcal N=4$ $U(N)$ SYM and the leading giant graviton correction to the Schur defect 2-point functions of $\frac{1}{2}$-BPS Wilson lines in rank-$k$ symmetric and antisymmetric representations. We study in particular the…
In this article we consider the defocusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, with time-dependent potential, in space dimensions $n=1, 2$ and $3$, with nonlinearity $|u|^{p-1} u$, $p$ an odd integer, satisfying $p \geq 5$ in dimension $1$,…
Finite size scaling for a first order phase transition where a continuous symmetry is broken is developed using an approximation of Gaussian probability distributions with a phenomenological "degeneracy" factor included. Predictions are…
We consider a nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation set in the whole space with a single power of interaction and an external source. We first establish existence and uniqueness of the solutions and then show, in low space dimension, that the…
We present the first analytic study of finite-size effects on critical diffusion above and below T_c of three-dimensional Ising-like systems whose order parameter is coupled to a conserved density. We also calculate the finite-size…
We study the semiclassical spectrum of excitations around a long spinning string in AdS_3. In addition to the usual small fluctuations, we find the spectrum contains a branch of solitonic excitations of finite energy. We determine the…

We examine spherical p-branes in AdS_m x S^n, that wrap an S^p in either AdS_m (p=m-2) or S^n (p=n-2). We first construct a two-spin giant solution expanding in S^n and has spins both in AdS_m and S^n. For (m,n)={(5,5),(4,7),(7,4)}, it is…
