Higher genus partition functions of string world sheets with boundaries are relevant, e.g. for computation of quantum corrections to Wilson loop expectation values. As a preparation for a possible study of strings in curved space like AdS…

In the previous paper, the authors pointed out correspondence between a supersymmetric double-well matrix model and two-dimensional type IIA superstring theory on a Ramond-Ramond background from the viewpoint of symmetry and spectrum. This…

We explore and exploit the relation between non-planar correlators in ${\cal N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills, and higher-genus closed string amplitudes in type IIB string theory. By conformal field theory techniques we construct the genus-one,…

In this paper, we generalize two results of H. Darmon and V. Rotger on triple product $p$-adic $L$-functions associated with Hida families to finite slope families. We first prove a $p$-adic Gross-Zagier formula, then demonstrate an…

The Schur function expansion of Sato-Segal-Wilson KP tau-functions is reviewed. The case of tau-functions related to algebraic curves of arbitrary genus is studied in detail. Explicit expressions for the Pl\"ucker coordinate coefficients…

Pohlmeyer reduction of AdS_5 x S^5 superstring leads to a set of equations of motion following from an action containing a bosonic Sp(2,2) x Sp(4)/[SU(2)]^4 gauged WZW term, an integrable potential and a fermionic part coupling bosons from…

We study heterotic/type I duality in d=8,9 uncompactified dimensions. We consider the special (``BPS saturated'') F^4 and R^4 terms in the effective one-loop heterotic action, which are expected to be non-perturbatively exact. Under the…

In this paper we discuss the boson/vortex duality by mapping the (3+1)D Gross-Pitaevskii theory into an effective string theory in the presence of boundaries. Via the effective string theory, we find the Seiberg-Witten map between the…

Motivated by the desire to relate Bethe ansatz equations for anomalous dimensions found on the gauge theory side of the AdS/CFT correspondence to superstring theory on AdS_5 x S5 we explore a connection between the asymptotic S-matrix that…

In this paper we prove the equivalence among (i) the weakly coupled worldsheet string theory described by the coset sigma model $\frac{SL(2,\mathbb{R})_k\times U(1)}{U(1)}\times S^3 \times T^4$ with $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ WZW level $k\geq 2$,…

Initially motivated by the relations between Anabelian Geometry and Artin's L-functions of the associated Galois-representations, here we study the list of zeta-functions of genus two abelian coverings of elliptic curves over finite fields.…

The inclusion of the Gaussian-curvature term in the bulk of Polyakov-Kleinert string action renders new boundary terms and conditions by Gauss-Bonnet theorem. Within a leading approximation, the eigenmodes of smooth worldsheets and the…

We show that the categories of smooth ${\rm SL}_2({\mathbb Q}_p)$-representations (resp. ${\rm GL}_2({\mathbb Q}_p)$-representations) of level $1$ on $p$-torsion modules are equivalent with certain explicitly described equivariant…

We derive from ambitwistor strings new formulae for two-loop scattering amplitudes in supergravity and super-Yang-Mills theory, with any number of particles. We start by constructing a formula for the type II ambitwistor string amplitudes…

The algebraic curve for the psu (2,2|4) quantum spin chain is determined from the thermodynamic limit of the algebraic Bethe ansatz. The Hamiltonian of this spin chain has been identified with the planar 1-loop dilatation operator of N=4…

Let p be a prime. A p-adic functional on a torsion-free abelian group G is a group homomorphism from G to the p-adic integers. The group of all such p-adic functionals is viewed as a p-adic dual group of G, and is studied from the point of…

N=2 closed strings have been recently divided in hep-th/0211147 to two T-dual families denoted by \alpha and \beta. In (2,2) signature both families have one scalar in the spectrum. The scalar in the \beta-string is known to be a…

We study the structure of solutions of the one-dimensional non-linear pseudodifferential equation describing the dynamics of the $p$-adic open string for the scalar tachyon field $p^{\frac12\partial^2_t}\Phi=\Phi^p$. We elicit the role of…

We examine p-branes in AdS(D) in two limits where they exhibit partonic behavior: rotating branes with energy concentrated to cusp-like solitons; tensionless branes with energy distributed over singletonic partons on the Dirac hypercone.…

We point out that when a D-brane is placed in an NS-NS B field background with non-vanishing field strength (H=dB) along the D-brane worldvolume, the coordinate of one end of the open string does not commute with that of the other in the…
