Conformal field theory (CFT) plays a key role in modern theoretical physics. Through CFT we describe real physical systems at criticality and fixed points of the renormalization group flow. It is also central in the study of quantum…

In this paper we present a generalization of the Radon-Nikodym theorem proved by Pedersen and Takesaki. Given a normal, semifinite and faithful (n.s.f.) weight $\phi$ on a von Neumann algebra M and a strictly positive operator $\delta$,…

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…

In the first part of this talk I discuss two somewhat different supergravity approaches to calculating correlation functions in strongly coupled Yang-Mills theory. The older approach relates two-point functions to cross-sections for…

We provide a unified construction of the symplectic forms which arise in the solution of both N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories and soliton equations. Their phase spaces are Jacobian-type bundles over the leaves of a foliation in a…

Solutions to a class of differential systems that generalize the Halphen system are determined in terms of automorphic functions whose groups are commensurable with the modular group. These functions all uniformize Riemann surfaces of genus…

Gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten theory for compact groups is considered. It is shown that this theory has fermionic BRST-like symmetry and may be exactly solved using localization approach. As an example we calculate functional integral for the…

Consider a compact Abelian group $Z$ and closed subgroups $U_1$, \ldots, $U_k \leq Z$. Let $\mathbb{T} := \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$. This paper examines two kinds of functional equation for measurable functions $Z\to \mathbb{T}$. First, given…

Supersymmetry is formulated for integrable models based on the $sl(2|1)$ loop algebra endowed with a principal gradation. The symmetry transformations which have half-integer grades generate supersymmetry. The $sl(2|1)$ loop algebra leads…

We study the inverse problem of unique recovery of a complex-valued scalar function $V:\mathcal M \times \mathbb C\to \mathbb C$, defined over a smooth compact Riemannian manifold $(\mathcal M,g)$ with smooth boundary, given the Dirichlet…

In this paper we established a new Simpson type conformable fractional integral equality for convex functions. Based on this identity, some results related to Simpson-like type inequalities are obtained. These results are then applied to…

An extension of the method and results of A. Schwarz for evaluating the partition function of a quadratic functional is presented. This enables the partition functions to be evaluated for a wide class of quadratic functionals of interest in…

We derive the Wilsonian renormalization group equation in two dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models. This equation shows that the sigma models on compact Einstein K\"{a}hler manifolds are aymptotically free. This…

We study linearization models for continuous one-parameter semigroups of parabolic type. In particular, we introduce new limit schemes to obtain solutions of Abel's functional equation and to study asymptotic behavior of such semigroups.…

To every log-concave function $f$ one may associate a pair of measures $(\mu_{f},\nu_{f})$ which are the surface area measures of $f$. These are a functional extension of the classical surface area measure of a convex body, and measure how…

We provide formulae for the $\varepsilon$-subdifferential of the integral function $ I_f(x):=\int_T f(t,x) d\mu(t), $ where the integrand $f:T\times X \to [-\infty,+\infty]$ is measurable in $(t,x)$ and convex in $x$. The state variable…

Given a periodic function $f$, we study the convergence almost everywhere and in norm of the series $\sum_{k} c_k f(kx)$. Let $f(x)= \sum_{m=1}^\infty a_m \sin {2\pi m x}$ where $\sum_{m=1}^\infty a_{m }^2d(m) <\infty$ and $d(m)=\sum_{d|m}…

We consider N = 3 supersymmetric Chern-Simons gauge theories with product unitary and orthosymplectic groups and bifundamental and fundamental fields. We study the partition functions on an S^3 by using the Kapustin-Willett-Yaakov matrix…

We show that the exact $beta$--function of 4D N=2 SYM plays the role of the metric whose inverse satisfies the WDVV--like equations $\F_{ikl}\beta^{lm} \F_{mnj}=\F_{jkl}\beta^{lm}\F_{mni}$. The conjecture that the WDVV--like equations are…

We study the correlation function of two circular Wilson loops at strong coupling in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, the problem maps to finding the minimal surface between two circles defined on the boundary…
