Motivated by the recent calculation of the SL(K+3,C) symmetry of n-point Lauricella string scattering amplitudes (SSA) of open bosonic string theory, we calculate ratios of the solvable infinite linear relations of arbitrary n-point hard…
The affine Grassmannian of $SL_n$ admits an embedding into the Sato Grassmannian, which further admits a Pl\"ucker embedding into the projectivization of Fermion Fock space. Kreiman, Lakshmibai, Magyar, and Weyman describe the linear part…
We present and analyze exact solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations in higher dimensions which form a large subclass of the Kundt family of spacetimes. We assume that the cosmological constant may be nonvanishing, and the matter…

Quasi-monochromatic complex reductions of a number of physically important equations are obtained. Starting from the cubic nonlinear Klein-Gordon (NLKG), the Korteweg-deVries (KdV) and water wave equations, it is shown that the leading…
We consider Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen magnetic vortex strings in 3+1 dimensional Abelian Higgs models. We systematically analyze the giant vortex regime using a combination of analytic and numerical methods. In this regime the strings are…
We construct $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric nonlocal theories in four dimension. We discuss higher derivative extensions of chiral and vector superfields, and write down generic forms of K\"ahler potential and superpotential up to quadratic…
Galilean conformal algebra (GCA) is an Inonu-Wigner (IW) contraction of a conformal algebra, while Newton-Hooke string algebra is an IW contraction of an AdS algebra which is the isometry of an AdS space. It is shown that the GCA is a…
