We study the Schwinger-Dyson equations of a matrix model for an open-closed string theory. The free energy with source terms for scaling operators satisfies the same Virasoro conditions as those of the pure closed string and is obtained…
We consider a covariant approach to coarse-graining a network of interacting Nambu-Goto strings. A transport equation is constructed for a spatially flat Friedmann universe. In Minkowski space and with no spatial dependence this model…
The physical states on the free field Fock space of the ${SL(2,R)\over SL(2,R)$ model at any level are computed. Using a similarity transformation on $Q_{BRST}$, the cohomology of the latter is mapped into a direct sum of simpler…
In this paper, we show that there is a large class of fermionic systems for which it is possible to find, for any dimension, a finite closed set of eigenoperators and eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian. Then, the hierarchy of the equations of…
The string equation appearing in the double scaling limit of the Hermitian one--matrix model, which corresponds to a Galilean self--similar condition for the KdV hierarchy, is reformulated as a scaling self--similar condition for the…
I consider a three-dimensional string theory whose action, besides the standard area term, contains one of the form $\int_{\Sigma} \epsilon_{\mu\nu\sigma} X^{\mu} d X^{\nu} \wedge d X^{\sigma}$. In the case of closed strings this extra term…
The complex potentials representing flows around a vertical plate semi-submerged in a uniform stream are derived in analytical forms by the reduction method. They are composed from the regular solution and a weak singular eigen solution.…
We study Hamiltonian flows in a real separable Hilbert space endowed with a symplectic structure. Measures on the Hilbert space that are invariant with respect to the flows of completely integrable Hamiltonian systems are investigated.…
We use a Grassmannian framework to define multi-component tau functions as expectation values of certain multi-component Fermi operators satisfying simple bilinear commutation relations on Clifford algebra. The tau functions contain both…
This paper considers a recently-proposed string theory on $AdS_3\times S^3\times T^4$ with one unit of NS-NS flux ($k=1$). We discuss interpretations of the target space, including connections to twistor geometry and a more conventional…
We formulate the $c=1$ matrix model as a quantum fluid and discuss its classical limit in detail, emphasizing the $\hbar$ corrections. We view the fermi fluid profiles as elements of \winf-coadjoint orbit and write down a geometric action…
In this paper we provide a method to study critical points of strongly indefinite functionals on vector bundles. We focus mainly on energy functionals coupled with a fermionic part, that is with a Dirac-type operator. We consider the cases…
Several new results on the multicritical behavior of rectangular matrix models are presented. We calculate the free energy in the saddle point approximation, and show that at the triple-scaling point, the result is the same as that derived…
The partition functions of Hermitian one-matrix models are known to be tau-functions of the KP hierarchy. In this paper we explicitly compute the elements in Sato grassmannian these tau-functions correspond to, and use them to compute the…
It is generally accepted that the double-scaled 1D matrix model is equivalent to the $c=1$ string theory with tachyon condensation. There remain however puzzles that are to be clarified in order to utilize this connection for our quest…
Equations are found for exact g-functions corresponding to integrable bulk and boundary flows between successive unitary c<1 minimal conformal field theories in two dimensions, confirming and extending previous perturbative results. These…
We consider the large $N$ expansion of the partition function for the Hermitian one-matrix model. It is well known that the coefficients of this expansion are generating functions $F^{(g)}$ for a certain kind of graph embedded in a Riemann…
We consider matrix-model representations of the meander problem which describes, in particular, combinatorics for foldings of closed polymer chains. We introduce a supersymmetric matrix model for describing the principal meander numbers.…
