The Beale-Kato-Majda theorem contains a single criterion that controls the behaviour of solutions of the $3D$ incompressible Euler equations. Versions of this theorem are discussed in terms of the regularity issues surrounding the $3D$…
Algebro-geometric solutions of the lattice potential modified Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (lpmKP) equation are constructed. A Darboux transformation of the Kaup--Newell spectral problem is employed to generate a Lax triad for the lpmKP equation,…
It is found that noncommutative U(1) gauge field on the fuzzy sphere S^2_N is equivalent in the quantum theory to a commutative 2-dimensional U(N) gauge field on a lattice with two plaquettes in the axial gauge A_1=0. This quantum…
We adopt a field theoretical approach to study the structure and thermodynamics of a homogeneous Maier-Saupe nematogenic fluid interacting with anisotropic Yukawa potential. In the mean field approximation we retrieve the standard…
To leading order in perturbation theory, we solve QCD, defined on a small three sphere in the large N and Nf limit, at finite chemical potential and map out the phase diagram in the (mu,T) plane. The action of QCD is complex in the presence…
This thesis considers one and two dimensional supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models. First there is a discussion of the geometries of one and two dimensional sigma models, with rigid supersymmetry. For the one-dimensional case, the…
The reduction by restricting the spectral parameters $k$ and $k'$ on a generic algebraic curve of degree $\mathcal{N}$ is performed for the discrete AKP, BKP and CKP equations, respectively. A variety of two-dimensional discrete integrable…
We investigate a class of operators with non-vanishing averages in a D-dimensional matrix model recently proposed by Kazakov and Migdal. Among the operators considered are ``filled Wilson loops" which are the most reasonable counterparts of…
The Falicov-Kimball model is a simple quantum lattice model that describes light and heavy electrons interacting with an on-site repulsion; alternatively, it is a model of itinerant electrons and fixed nuclei. It can be seen as a…
This is the first of two papers presenting a geometric framework for Planar QCD ($N_c \to \infty$). In this part, we establish the kinematic foundation of the theory by constructing the unique stable vacuum of the loop equation. We…
We study a class of lattice field theories in two dimensions that includes gauge theories. Given a two dimensional orientable surface of genus $g$, the partition function $Z$ is defined for a triangulation consisting of $n$ triangles of…
In a previous paper [arXiv:1111.2389], we studied the multi-brane solutions in cubic string field theory by focusing on the topological nature of the "winding number" N which counts the number of branes. We found that N can be non-trivial…
The classical problem of two uniformly charged infinite planes in electrochemical equilibrium with an infinite monovalent salt reservoir is solved exactly at the mean-field nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) level, including an explicit…
SU(2) Yang-Mills theory coupled in a non-minimal way to two scalar fields is discussed. For the massless scalar fields a family of finite energy solutions generated by an external, static electric charge is found. Additionally, there is a…
We point out two extensions of the relation between matrix models, topological strings and N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories. First, we note that by considering double scaling limits of unitary matrix models one can obtain large N duals of…

We study the WZW, Chern-Simons, and 2d qYM theories with gauge group U(N). The U(N) WZW model is only well-defined for odd level K, and this model is shown to exhibit level-rank duality in a much simpler form than that for SU(N). The U(N)…
We generalize the textbook Kronig-Penney model to realistic conditions for a quantum-particle moving in the quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) waveguide, where motion in the transverse direction is confined by a harmonic trapping potential.…
