We address the open problem of existence of singularities for the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. Using a combination of rigourous results and numerical computations, we describe a countable family of self-similar singularities. Our…

Duality between the E_8 x E_8 heterotic string and Type I' theory predicts a tower of D(irichlet)-particle bound states corresponding to perturbative heterotic string states. In the limit of infinite Type I' coupling, some of these bound…

Entanglement cohomology assigns a graded cohomology ring to a multipartite pure state, providing homological invariants that are stable under local unitaries and characterize inequivalent patterns of entanglement. In this work we derive…

In this paper, we consider the new q-extension of Frobenius-Euler numbers and polynomials and we derive some interesting identities from the orthogonality type properties for the new q-extension of Frobenius-Euler polynomials. Finally we…

In this brief note we prove orbifold equivalence between two potentials described by strangely dual exceptional unimodular singularities of type $K_{14}$ and $Q_{10}$ in two different ways. The matrix factorizations proving the orbifold…

We study vortices in p-wave superconductors in a Ginzburg-Landau setting. The state of the superconductor is described by a pair of complex wave functions, and the p-wave symmetric energy functional couples these in both the kinetic…

We express the Mahler measures of $23$ families of Laurent polynomials in terms of Eisenstein-Kronecker series. These Laurent polynomials arise as Landau-Ginzburg potentials on Fano $3$-folds, $16$ of which define $K3$ hypersurfaces of…

We review the structure $D=6, N=1$ string vacua with emphasis on the different connections due to T-dualities and S-dualities. The topics discussed include: Anomaly cancellation; K3 and orbifold $D=6, N=1$ heterotic compactifications;…

We provide analytic proofs for the shape invariance of the recently discovered (Odake and Sasaki, Phys. Lett. B679 (2009) 414-417) two families of infinitely many exactly solvable one-dimensional quantum mechanical potentials. These…

We discuss type I -- heterotic duality in four-dimensional models obtained as a Coulomb phase of the six-dimensional U(16) orientifold model compactified on T^2 with arbitrary SU(16) Wilson lines. We show that Kahler potentials, gauge…

In the first part of the paper, we discuss eigenvalue problems of the form -w"+Pw=Ew with complex potential P and zero boundary conditions at infinity on two rays in the complex plane. We give sufficient conditions for continuity of the…

In this work, we carefully study the energy eigen-values and splitting of heavy quarkonia as there exist $1/r^3$ and $\delta^3(\vec r)$ singular terms in the potential which make a direct numerical solution of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation…

We discuss type II and type I branes at general ADE type orbifold singularities. We show that there are new phases of type I or heterotic string theory in six dimensions, involving extra tensor multiplets, which arise when small instantons…

We discuss the structure of heterotic/type II duality in four dimensions as a consequence of string-string duality in six dimensions. We emphasize the new features in four dimensions which go beyond the six dimensional vacuum structure and…

'Dual' is a promising key word in the particle physics at present. The string theory is dual in any sense. The observed sector and the hidden sector are dual on the 10-dim. $E_8\times E_8$ heterotic string. We find $Z_6$ orbifold models…

We obtain three new solvable, real, shape invariant potentials starting from the harmonic oscillator, P\"oschl-Teller I and P\"oschl-Teller II potentials on the half-axis and extending their domain to the full line, while taking special…

We consider a Ginzburg-Landau type equation in $\R^2$ of the form $-\Delta u = u J'(1-|u|^{2})$ with a potential function $J$ satisfying weak conditions allowing for example a zero of infinite order in the origin. We extend in this context…

Type II string theory or M-theory contains a broad spectrum of gauge potentials. In addition to the standard $p$-form potentials, various mixed-symmetry potentials have been predicted, which may couple to exotic branes with non-standard…

This paper has two aims. The first one is the construction problem of algebraic potentials of Frobenius manifolds. We show examples of such potentials for the cases of reflection groups of types $H_4,E_6,E_7,E_8$ and also include those…

We consider an eleven dimensional supergravity compactified on $K3\times T^2$ and show that the resulting five dimensional theory has identical massless states as that of heterotic string compactified on a specific five torus $T^5$. The…
