We consider four-point correlation functions of protected single-trace scalar operators in planar N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM). We conjecture that all loop corrections derive from an integrand which enjoys a ten-dimensional…
We study the spectrum of the recently proposed matrix model of DLCQ M-theory in a parallel plane (pp)-wave background. In contrast to matrix theory in a flat background this model contains mass terms, which lift the flat directions of the…
We consider a scalar Hamiltonian nonlinear wave equation formulated on networks; this is a non standard problem because these domains are not locally homeomorphic to any subset of the Euclidean space. More precisely, we assume each edge to…
We spell out the derivation of novel features, put forward earlier in a letter, of two dimensional gravity in the strong coupling regime, at $C_L=7$, 13, 19. Within the operator approach previously developed, they neatly follow from the…
The computation of n-point planar amplitudes in N=4 SYM at strong coupling is known to be reduced to the search for solutions of the integrable 2d SO(4,2) sigma-model with growing asymptotics on the world-sheet and to the study of their…
In the s-wave approximation the 4D Einstein gravity with scalar fields can be reduced to an effective 2D dilaton gravity coupled nonminimally to the matter fields. We study the leading order (tree level) vertices. The 4-particle matrix…
The diagram showing off-center nested spheres which is traditionally used to illustrate the Doppler effect, is misleading and its trigonometric analysis leads to errors concerning light, because electromagnetic Doppler and aberration…
We study integrated correlators of four superconformal primaries $\mathcal{O}_{p}$ with arbitrary charges $p$ in $\mathcal{N}{=}4$ super Yang-Mills theory (SYM). The $ \langle \mathcal{O}_{2} \mathcal{O}_{2} \mathcal{O}_{p} \mathcal{O}_{p}…
We develop a systematic framework for the spin adaptation of the cumulants of p-particle reduced density matrices (RDMs), with explicit constructions for p = 1 to 3. These spin-adapted cumulants enable rigorous treatment of both S_z and S^2…
This research focuses on the possibility of the surjective relation between symmetric potential function and its scattering matrix in 1-dimension. The theory bases on the property of wave function symmetry and boundary conditions. This…
We consider the RNS superstrings in $AdS_3 \times S^3 \times {\cal M}$, where $\cal M$ may be $K3$ or $T^4$, based on $SL(2,R)$ and SU(2) WZW models. We construct the physical states and calculate the spectrum. A subsector of this theory…

We briefly review our works for graviton and spherical graviton potentials in a plane-wave matrix model. To compute them, it is necessary to devise a configuration of the graviton solutions, since the plane-wave matrix model includes mass…
The Zamolodchikov model describes an exact relativistic factorized scattering theory of straight strings in (2+1)-dimensional space-time. It also defines an integrable 3D lattice model of statistical mechanics and quantum field theory. The…
