As of today there exist consistent, gauge-invariant string field theories describing all string theories: bosonic open and closed strings, open superstrings, heterotic strings and type II strings. The construction of these theories require…
A solution of the scattering problem is obtained for the Schr\"odinger equation with the potential of induced dipole interaction, which decreases as the inverse square of the distance. Such a potential arises in the collision of an incident…

We consider the Hartree-Fock equation in 1D, for a small and localised initial data and a finite measure potential. We show that there is no long range scattering due to a nonlinear cancellation between the direct term and the exchange term…

The genus-dependence of multi-loop superstring amplitudes is bounded at large orders in perturbation theory using the super-Schottky group parametrization of supermoduli space. Partial estimates of supermoduli space integrals suggest an…
Motivated by the desire to understand chaos in the $S$-matrix of string theory, we study tree level scattering amplitudes involving highly excited strings. While the amplitudes for scattering of light strings have been a hallmark of string…
In this paper, we study the solutions to the energy-critical quadratic nonlinear Schr\"odinger system in ${\dot H}^1\times{\dot H}^1$, where the sign of its potential energy can not be determined directly. If the initial data ${\rm u}_0$ is…
