An integrable field theory, due to path-independence on the space-time plane, should yield together with an infinite set of independent conserved charges also similar dual charges determining the boundary and defect contributions. On the…

Various studies have attempted to extend the Witten's cubic open string field theory to the cubic closed string field theory, which may describe Einstein gravity in the low energy sector consistently. In the present study we propose a cubic…

We rederive dispersionless Hirota equations of the dispersionless Toda hierarchy from the method of kernel formula provided by Carroll and Kodama. We then apply the method to derive dispersionless Hirota equations of the extended…

The Hamiltonian structure of the two-dimensional dispersionless Toda hierarchy is studied, this being a particular example of a system of hydrodynamic type. The polynomial conservation laws for the system turn out, after a change of…

Toda Conformal Field Theories (CFTs hereafter) are generalizations of Liouville CFT where the underlying field is no longer scalar but takes values in a finite-dimensional vector space induced by a complex simple Lie algebra. The goal of…

We derive a family of matrix models which encode solutions to the Seiberg-Witten theory in 4 and 5 dimensions. Partition functions of these matrix models are equal to the corresponding Nekrasov partition functions, and their spectral curves…

Systems of discrete equations on a quadrilateral graph related to the series $D^{(2)}_N$ of the affine Lie algebras are studied. The systems are derived from the Hirota-Miwa equation by imposing boundary conditions compatible with the…

We show that the dispersionless limits of the Pfaff-KP (also known as the DKP or Pfaff lattice) and the Pfaff-Toda hierarchies admit a reformulation through elliptic functions. In the elliptic form they look like natural elliptic…

In this note we expose some surprising connections between string theory and statistical inference. We consider a large collective of agents sweeping out a family of nearby statistical models for an M-dimensional manifold of statistical…

We consider the two-dimensional $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ quantum Toda field theory with an imaginary background charge. This conformal field theory has a higher spin symmetry ($W_n$ algebra), a central charge $c \leq n-1$ and a continuous…

There are two-dimensional Toda field equations corresponding to each (finite or affine) Lie algebra. The question addressed in this note is whether there exist integrable discrete versions of these. It is shown that for certain algebras…

We obtain explicitly all solutions of the SU(infinity) Toda field equation with the property that the associated Einstein-Weyl space admits a 2-sphere of divergence-free shear-free geodesic congruences. The solutions depend on an arbitrary…

We review some recent results concerning integrable quantum field theories in 1+1 space-time dimensions which contain unstable particles in their spectrum. Recalling first the main features of analytic scattering theories associated to…

We review recent developments in the construction of heterotic and type II string field theories and their various applications. These include systematic procedures for determining the shifts in the vacuum expectation values of fields under…

We propose several different types of construction principles for new classes of Toda field theories based on root systems defined on Lorentzian lattices. In analogy to conformal and affine Toda theories based on root systems of semi-simple…

We consider commuting operators obtained by quantization of Hamiltonians of the Hopf (aka dispersionless KdV) hierarchy. Such operators naturally arise in the setting of Symplectic Field Theory (SFT). A complete set of common eigenvectors…

We investigate integrable second order equations of the form F(u_{xx}, u_{xy}, u_{yy}, u_{xt}, u_{yt}, u_{tt})=0. Familiar examples include the Boyer-Finley equation, the potential form of the dispersionless Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation,…

In the recent publication arXiv:1410.8860 the spin vertex was introduced as a new approach for computing three-point functions in N = 4 SYM. In this note we consider the BMN limit of the spin vertex for scalar excitations and show that it…

We discuss geometrical aspects of Toda Fields generalizing the links between Liouville gravity and uniformization of Riemann surfaces of genus greater than one. The framework is the interplay between the hermitian and the holomorphic…

We construct an integrable hierarchy in the form of Hirota quadratic equations (HQE) that governs the Gromov--Witten (GW) invariants of the Fano orbifold projective curve $\mathbb{P}^1_{a_1,a_2,a_3}$. The vertex operators in our…
