We investigate oscillating instanton solutions of a self-gravitating scalar field between degenerate vacua. We show that there exist O(4)-symmetric oscillating solutions in a de Sitter background. The geometry of this solution is finite and…
We discuss the newly found exact instanton solutions at finite temperature with a non-trivial Polyakov loop at infinity. They can be described in terms of monopole constituents and we discuss in this context an old result due to Taubes how…
We use the first author's idea on "constructing virtual fundamental cycles without gluing ' to define the quantum correction term between the gauged linear sigma model and the nonlinear sigma model.
We study a notion of finite energy solutions to elliptic systems with power nonlinearities in R^n. We establish sharp pointwise decay estimates for positive and sign-changing solutions. By using these estimates, we obtain symmetry results…
In this paper, we have considered second order non-homogeneous linear differential equations having entire coefficients. We have established conditions ensuring non-existence of finite order solution of such type of differential equations.
We extend the relation between instanton and monopole solutions of the selfduality equations in SU(2) gauge theory to noncommutative space-times. Using this approach and starting from a noncommutative multi-instanton solution we construct a…
The linear $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ sigma-model occupies a unique place in elementary particle physics and quantum field theory. It has been recently realized that when a chemical potential for hypercharge is added, it becomes a toy model…
We show that the higher order linear differential equation possesses all solutions of infinite order under certain conditions by extending the work of authors about second order differential equation \cite{dsm2}.
We show that the resolution of moduli space of ideal instantons parameterizes the instantons on non-commutative $\IR^{4}$. This moduli space appears as a Higgs branch of the theory of $k$ $D0$-branes bound to $N$ $D4$-branes by the…
We discuss extension of soliton theories and integrable systems into noncommutative spaces. In the framework of noncommutative integrable hierarchy, we give infinite conserved quantities and exact soliton solutions for many noncommutative…
These lectures deal mainly with solitons in three-dimensional Moyal-deformed sigma models. The topics are: static and moving (multi-)solitons of the (integrable) Ward sigma model, with space-space and time-space noncommutativity, their…
In this paper we use finite vector spaces (finite dimension, over finite fields) as a non-standard computational model of linear logic. We first define a simple, finite PCF-like lambda-calculus with booleans, and then we discuss two finite…
We study classical solutions (ic-instantons) in N=4 SYM in 4D which, in the strong coupling limit, correspond to complex two-dimensional manifolds. Asymptotically in time the latter have boundaries represented by compact real…
We show that noncommutative gauge theory in two dimensions is an exactly solvable model. A cohomological formulation of gauge theory defined on the noncommutative torus is used to show that its quantum partition function can be written as a…
We investigate the ground-state energy of the integrable two dimensional $O(3)$ sigma model in a magnetic field. By determining a large number of perturbative coefficients we explore the closest singularities of the corresponding Borel…
We analyze soliton solutions in the duality-based matrix model. There are two types of solution, a one soliton-antisoliton solution (with the constant boundary condition at infinity) and a periodic solution with an infinite number of…
We study the interplay between the <A^2> condensate and instantons in non-Abelian gauge theory. Therefore we use the formalism of Local Composite Operators, with which the vacuum expectation value of this condensate can be analytically…
In this article we study lower semicontinuous, convex functionals on real Hilbert spaces. In the first part of the article we construct a Banach space that serves as the energy space for such functionals. In the second part we study…
We consider a family of four-dimensional non-linear sigma models based on an O(5) symmetric group, whose fields take their values on the 4-sphere S4. An SO(4)-subgroup of the model is gauged. The solutions of the model are characterised by…
We study the stochastic quantization of two-dimensional nonlinear sigma model in the large $N$ limit. Our main tool is the {\it effective} Langevin equation with which we investigate nonperturbative phenomena and derive the results which…
