We study Neumann coefficients of the various vertices in the Witten's open string field theory (SFT). We show that they are not independent, but satisfy an infinite set of algebraic relations. These relations are identified as so-called…

The partition function of QCD is studied in the Leutwyler--Smilga scaling regime for an arbitrary number of quark flavors and masses including the contributions from all winding numbers. For $N_f=2$ and degenerate quark masses, the…

We prove that structure constants related to Hecke algebras at roots of unity are special cases of k-Littlewood-Richardson coefficients associated to a product of k-Schur functions. As a consequence, both the 3-point Gromov-Witten…

We give a simple proof that the Neumann coefficients of surface states in Witten's SFT satisfy the Hirota equations for dispersionless KP hierarchy. In a similar way we show that the Neumann coefficients for the three string vertex in the…

We argue that lattice QCD with Ginsparg-Wilson fermions satisfies the Leutwyler-Smilga sum rules for the eigenvalues of the chiral Dirac operator. The result is obtained in the one flavor case, by rephrasing Leutwyler and Smilga's original…

We study characteristic features of the eigenvalues of the Wilson-Dirac operator in topologically non-trivial gauge field configurations by examining complete spectra of the fermion matrix. In particular we discuss the role of eigenvectors…

The equation for QCD string proposed earlier is reviewed. This equation appears when we examine the gonihedric string model and the corresponding transfer matrix. Arguing that string equation should have a generalized Dirac form we found…

The WDVV equations of associativity in 2-d topological field theory are completely integrable third order Monge-Amp\`ere equations which admit bi-Hamiltonian structure. The time variable plays a distinguished role in the discussion of…

We discuss the possibility to construct an effective quantum field theory for an axial vector coupled to a Dirac spinor field. A massive axial vector describes antisymmetric torsion. The consistency conditions include unitarity and…

The modern version of conformal matrix model (CMM) describes conformal blocks in the Dijkgraaf-Vafa phase. Therefore it possesses a determinant representation and becomes a Toda chain $\tau$-function only after a peculiar Fourier transform…

The role of integrable systems in string theory is discussed. We remind old examples of the correspondence between stringy partition functions or effective actions and integrable equations, based on effective application of the matrix model…

The main theorem here is the K-theoretic analogue of the cohomological `stable double component formula' for quiver functions in [Knutson, Miller, and Shimozono, math.AG/0308142]. This K-theoretic version is still in terms of lacing…
