We propose the Kazakov-Migdal model on graphs and show that, when the parameters of this model are appropriately tuned, the partition function is represented by the unitary matrix integral of an extended Ihara zeta function, which has a…
In this paper, we consider an extended Kazakov-Migdal model defined on an arbitrary graph. The partition function of the model, which is expressed as the summation of all Wilson loops on the graph, turns out to be represented by the…
In this paper, we examine a modification of the Kazakov-Migdal (KM) model with gauge group $U(N_c)$, where the adjoint scalar fields in the conventional KM model are replaced by $N_f$ fundamental scalar fields (FKM model). After tuning the…
I investigate the Kazakov-Migdal (KM) model -- the Hermitean gauge-invariant matrix model on a D-dimensional lattice. I utilize an exact large-N solution of the KM model with a logarithmic potential to examine its critical behavior. I find…
We study Ihara zeta function for graphs in the context of quivers arising from gauge theories, especially under Seiberg duality transformations. The distribution of poles is studied as we proceed along the duality tree, in light of the weak…
We advocate a new approach to the study of unitary matrix models in external fields which emphasizes their relationship to Generalized Kontsevich Models (GKM) with non-polynomial potentials. For example, we show that the partition function…
Along the recently trodden path of studying certain number theoretic properties of gauge theories, especially supersymmetric theories whose vacuum manifolds are non-trivial, we investigate Ihara's Graph Zeta Function for large classes of…
We assign an arbitrary density matrix to a weighted graph and associate to it a graph zeta function that is both a generalization of the Ihara zeta function and a special case of the edge zeta function. We show that a recently developed…
We propose a novel fermionic model on the graphs. The Dirac operator of the model consists of deformed incidence matrices on the graph and the partition function is given by the inverse of the graph zeta function. We find that the…
A matrix model to describe dynamical loops on random planar graphs is analyzed. It has similarities with a model studied by Kazakov, few years ago, and the O(n) model by Kostov and collaborators. The main difference is that all loops are…
We study numerically the SU(2) Kazakov-Migdal model of `induced QCD'. In contrast to our earlier work on the subject we have chosen here {\it not} to integrate out the gauge fields but to keep them in the Monte Carlo simulation. This allows…
The author introduced models of linear logic known as ''Interaction Graphs'' which generalise Girard's various geometry of interaction constructions. In this work, we establish how these models essentially rely on a deep connection between…
We study the local structure of zero mode wave functions of chiral matter fields in F-theory unification. We solve the differential equations for the zero modes derived from local Higgsing in the 8-dimensional parent action of F-theory…
We study a unitary matrix model of the Gross-Witten-Wadia type, extended with the addition of characteristic polynomial insertions. The model interpolates between solvable unitary matrix models and is the unitary counterpart of a deformed…
Branched covering Riemann surfaces $(\mathbb{C},f)$ are studied, where $f$ is the Euler Gamma function and the Riemann Zeta function. For both of them fundamental domains are found and the group of covering transformations is revealed. In…
We study the phase diagram of a generalized Winfree model. The modification is such that the coupling depends on the fraction of synchronized oscillators, a situation which has been noted in some experiments on coupled Josephson junctions…
From the viewpoint of quantum walks, the Ihara zeta function of a finite graph can be said to be closely related to its evolution matrix. In this note we introduce another kind of zeta function of a graph, which is closely related to, as to…
Cascading failures in complex systems have been studied extensively using two different models: $k$-core percolation and interdependent networks. We combine the two models into a general model, solve it analytically and validate our…
We deduce pertinent relations between the elements of the CKM matrix, and find that not all of these are totally compatible with experiment and/or the assumption of the $3 \times 3$ unitarity. We identify complex phases in the CKM-elements…
The phase diagram of a chirally invariant lattice Higgs-Yukawa model is explored by means of numerical simulations. The results revealing a rich phase structure are compared to analytical large Nf calculations which we performed earlier.…
