We study a simple 2-d model representing two fields with different mass and a 3-point coupling term. The phase shift in the resonating 2-particle channel is determined from the energy spectrum obtained in Monte Carlo simulations on finite…
While general relativity provides a complete geometric theory of gravity, it fails to explain the other three forces of nature, i.e., electromagnetism and weak and strong interactions. We require the quantum field theory (QFT) to explain…
In this paper we use a constructive approach based on gauge invariant description of massive high spin particles for investigation of possible interactions of massive spin 2 particle. We work with general case of massive spin 2 particle…

Compactifications of 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) on four-manifolds generate a large class of novel 2d quantum field theories. We consider in detail the case of the rank one simple non-Higgsable cluster 6D SCFTs. On the tensor…
We study Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) in the supercritical (a.k.a. strongly coupled) phase, which has background charge $Q \in (0,2)$ and central charge $\mathbf{c}_{\mathrm{L}} = 1+6Q^2 \in (1,25)$. Recent works have shown how to define…
(Talk given at Strings '93, Berkeley, and at XXVII. Internationales Symposium \"uber Elementarteilchentheorie, Wendisch-Rietz, 1993) We review the superconformal properties of matter coupled to $2d$ gravity, and $W$-extensions thereof. We…

We apply an unconstrained formulation of bosonic higher spin fields to study interactions of these fields with a bosonic field using new method for the deformation procedure. It is proved that local vertices of any order containing one…
We show that a Calogero-Sutherland type model with anharmonic interactions of fourth and sixth orders leads to the matrix model corresponding to the branched polymers. We also show that by suitably modifying this model one can also obtain…
Inspired by the translational gauge structure of teleparallel gravity, the theory for a fundamental massless spin-2 field is constructed. Accordingly, instead of being represented by a symmetric second-rank tensor, the fundamental spin-2…
A `covariant' field that transforms like a relativistic field operator is required to be a linear combination of `canonical' fields that transform like annihilation and creation operators and with invariant coefficients. The Invariant…
