We consider the soliton solutions in 1- and (1+1)-dimensional Toda lattice models with a boundary. We make use of the solutions already known on a full line by means of the Hirota's method. We explicitly construct the solutions satisfying…
The non-abelian generalization of the Holdom model --{\it i.e.} a theory with two gauge fields coupled to the kinetic mixing term $g {tr}(F_{\mu \nu} (A) F_{\mu \nu} (B))$-- is considered. Contrarily to the abelian case, the group structure…
We propose new ADHM-like methods to compute the Coulomb branch instanton partition functions of 5d and 6d supersymmetric gauge theories, with certain exceptional gauge groups or exceptional matters. We study $G_2$ theories with $n_{\bf…
We give the exact solution of the Kazakov-Migdal induced gauge model in the case of a D=1 compactified lattice with a generic number $S$ of sites and for any value of N. Due to the peculiar features of the model, the partition function that…
We investigate the structure of the configuration space of gauge theories and its description in terms of the set of absolute minima of certain Morse functions on the gauge orbits. The set of absolute minima that is obtained when the…
The equation of motion of affine Toda field theory is a coupled equation for $r$ fields, $r$ is the rank of the underlying Lie algebra. Most of the theories admit reduction, in which the equation is satisfied by fewer than $r$ fields. The…
We study a four-dimensional effective theory of the five-dimensional (5D) gauged supergravity with a universal hypermultiplet and perturbative superpotential terms at the orbifold fixed points. Among eight independent isometries of the…
The classical equations of motion of the perfect lattice action in asymptotically free $d=2$ spin and $d=4$ gauge models possess scale invariant instanton solutions. This property allows the definition of a topological charge on the lattice…
This paper is concerned with the concept of linear repetitivity in the theory of tilings. We prove a general uniform subadditive ergodic theorem for linearly repetitive tilings. This theorem unifies and extends various known (sub)additive…
Real-time classical SU($N$) gauge theories at non-zero temperature contain linear divergences. We introduce counterterms for these divergences in the equations of motion in the continuum and on the lattice. These counterterms can be given…
A generalization of Wilsonian lattice gauge theory may be obtained by considering the possible self-adjoint extensions of the electric field operator in the Hamiltonian formalism. In the special case of 3D $\mathrm{U}(1)$ gauge theory these…
We consider string theory vacua with tadpoles for dynamical fields and uncover universal features of the resulting spacetime-dependent solutions. We argue that the solutions can extend only a finite distance $\Delta$ away in the spacetime…
We investigate gauge anomalies in the context of orbifold conformal field theories. Such anomalies manifest as failures of modular invariance in the constituents of the orbifold partition function. We review how this irregularity is…
We demonstrate that the generalization of the relativistic Toda chain (RTC) is a special reduction of two-dimensional Toda Lattice hierarchy (2DTL). We also show that the RTC is gauge equivalent to the discrete AKNS hierarchy and the…
Solitons in the fractional space, supported by lattice potentials, have recently attracted much interest. We consider the limit of deep one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) lattices in this system, featuring finite bandgaps separated by…
