In this paper we apply the instanton representation method to the construction of spherically symmetric blackhole general relativity solutions. The instanton representation implies the existence of additional Type D solutions which are…
We introduce and study tetrahedron instantons, which can be realized in string theory by D$1$-branes probing a configuration of intersecting D$7$-branes in flat spacetime with a proper constant $B$-field. Physically they capture instantons…
A new mechanism for suppression of the instanton density in the infrared is considered. This mechanism is based on the phenomenon of topological charge screening, which leads to an effective cutoff in the contribution of large instantons.
We study in detail a one-dimensional lattice model of a continuum, conserved field (mass) that is transferred deterministically between neighbouring random sites. The model falls in a wider class of lattice models capturing the joint effect…
We study two exactly solvable two-dimensional conformal models, the critical Ising model and the Sommerfield model, on the lattice. We show that finite-size effects are important and depend on the aspect ratio of the lattice. In particular,…
Recent efforts in lattice evaluation of the topological susceptibility had shown that at high temperatures it is given by well-separated instantons (even in QCD with light fermions, where those are highly suppressed). Recent development of…
We study the typical behavior of the size of the ratio set $A/A$ for a random subset $A\subset \{1,\dots , n\}$. For example, we prove that $|A/A|\sim \frac{2\text{Li}_2(3/4)}{\pi^2}n^2 $ for almost all subsets $A \subset\{1,\dots ,n\}$. We…
The invariance for the equation of fast diffusion in the 2D coordinate space has been proved, and its reduction to the 1D (with respect to the spatial variable) analog is demonstrated. On the basis of these results, new exact…
The role of instantons in describing non-perturbative aspects of globally supersymmetric gauge theories is reviewed. The cases of theories with N=1, N=2 and N=4 supersymmetry are discussed. Special attention is devoted to the intriguing…
Supersymmetric gauge theories in five dimensions often exhibit less symmetry than the ultraviolet fixed points from which they flow. The fixed points might have larger flavor symmetry or they might even be secretly six-dimensional theories…

We study a class of Galilean-invariant one-dimensional Bethe ansatz solvable models in the thermodynamic limit. Their rapidity distribution obeys an integral equation with a difference kernel over a finite interval, which does not admit a…

Infrared fixed points in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with baryon and lepton number violation were studied and their structure elucidated by us in Physical Review D 63 076008 (2001). Here we reply to a comment on this paper. We…
We use an integral analysis of conservation equations of mass and energy, to determine the drop size and distributions during shock-induced drop break-up. The result is an updated form for the drop size as a function of its final velocity,…
Instanton analysis is applied to model A of critical dynamics. It is shown that the static instanton of the massless $\phi^{4}$ model determines the large-order asymptotes of the perturbation expansion of the dynamic model.
We present a study of diffusion of small tagged particles in a solvent, using mode coupling theory (MCT) analysis and computer simulations. The study is carried out for various interaction potentials. For the first time, using MCT, it is…
We consider the D7/D(--1) system in Type I' as a prototypical "exotic" brane instanton. With respect to systems such as the D3/D(-1) ones, which correspond to gauge instantons in four dimensions, exotic systems lack the bosonic mixed moduli…
We measure the topological susceptibility by cooling with an over-improved action. In contrast with usual cooling, large instantons survive over-improved cooling {\em indefinitely}. By varying the parameter of the over-improved cooling…
