The $c=1$ matrix model is equivalent to $1+1$ dimensional string theory. However, the tachyon self-interaction in the former is local, while in the latter it is nonlocal due to the gravitational, dilaton and higher string fields. By…
In the lattice CP(N) models we studied the problems related to the measure of the topological susceptibility and the string tension . We perfomed numerical simulations at N=4 and N=10. In order to test the universality, we adopted two…
The Liouville action emerges as the effective action of 2-d gravity in the process of path integral quantization of the bosonic string. It yields a measure of the violation of classical symmetries of the theory at the quantum level. Certain…
We prove a relation between the asymptotic behavior of the conformal factor and the accessory parameters of the SU(1,1) Riemann- Hilbert problem. Such a relation shows the hamiltonian nature of the dynamics of N particles coupled to 2+1…
We discuss the problem of consistent description of higher spin massive fields coupled to external gravity. As an example we consider massive field of spin 2 in arbitrary gravitational field. Consistency requires the theory to have the same…
It is shown that for any elastic string model with energy density $U$ and tension $T$, the divergent contribution from gravitational self interaction can be allowed for by an action renormalisation proportional to $(U-T)^2$. This formula is…
Many modifications of gravity introduce new scalar degrees of freedom, and in such theories matter fields typically couple to an effective metric that depends on both the true metric of spacetime and on the scalar field and its derivatives.…
The strong coupling physics of two dimensional gravity at C=7, 13, 19 is deciphered, by building up on previous works along the same line (for a recent review, of the background material, see hep-th/9408069). It is shown that chirality…
Realistic effective supergravity models have a variety of sources of lepton flavour violation (LFV) which can drastically affect the predictions relative to the scenarios usually considered in the literature based on minimal supergravity…

The nonlinear structures in 2D quantum gravity coupled to the $(q+1,q)$ minimal model are studied in the Liouville theory to clarify the factorization and the physical states. It is confirmed that the dressed primary states outside the…
We consider non-renormalizable interaction term as a perturbation of the conventional neutrino mass matrix. Quantum gravitational (Planck scale )effects lead to an effective $SU(2)_L\times U(1)$ invariant dimension-5 Lagrangian involving…
We study thermodynamics in $f(R)$ gravity with the disformal transformation. The transformation applied to the matter Lagrangian has the form of $\g_{\m\n} = A(\phi,X)g_{\m\n} + B(\phi,X)\pa_\m\f\pa_\n\f$ with the assumption of the…
Based on local gauge invariance, four different kinds of fundamental interactions in Nature are unified in a theory which has $SU(3)_c \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes U(1) \otimes_s Gravitational Gauge Group$ gauge symmetry. In this approach,…
The strong coupling physics of two dimensional gravity at $C=7$, $13$, $19$ is summarized. It is based on a new set of local fields which do not preserve chirality. Thus this quantum number becomes ``deconfined'' in the strongly coupled…
We study the large-$N$ limit of adjoint fermion one-matrix models. We find one-cut solutions of the loop equations for the correlators of these models and show that they exhibit third order phase transitions associated with $m$-th order…
We consider f(R,T) modified theories of gravity, where the gravitational Lagrangian is given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar R and of the trace of the stress-energy tensor T. We obtain the gravitational field equations in the…
Random contractions (sub-unitary random matrices) appear naturally when considering quantized chaotic maps within a general theory of open linear stationary systems with discrete time. We analyze statistical properties of complex…
We study one (or two) matrix models modified by terms of the form $g(\rho(P))^2 + g'(\rho'({\cal{O}}))^2$, where the matrix representation of the puncture operator $P$ and the one of a scaling operator ${\cal{O}}$ are denoted by $\rho(P)$…
This paper investigates the long time dynamics of interacting particle systems subject to singular interactions. We consider a microscopic system of $N$ interacting point particles, where the time evolution of the joint distribution…
