A survey of estimates on the number $N_-(\BM_{\a G})$ of negative eigenvalues (bound states) of the Sturm-Liouville operator $\BM_{\a G}u=-u"-\a G$ on the half-line, as depending on the properties of the function $G$ and the value of the…
Chiral perturbation theory in the anomaly sector for $N_f=2$ is extended to include dynamical photons, thereby allowing a complete treatment of isospin breaking. A minimal set of independent chiral lagrangian terms is determined and the…
This paper mainly deals with the Sturm-Liouville operator \begin{equation*} \mathbf{H}=\frac{1}{w(x)}\left( -\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}p(x)\frac{ \mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}+q(x)\right) ,\text{ }x\in \Gamma \end{equation*} acting in…
In this paper we examine the asymptotic structure of the pseudospectrum of the singular Sturm-Liouville operator $L=\partial_x(f\partial_x)+\partial_x$ subject to periodic boundary conditions on a symmetric interval, where the coefficient…
We study two-dimensional Liouville gravity and minimal string theory on spaces with fixed length boundaries. We find explicit formulas describing the gravitational dressing of bulk and boundary correlators in the disk. Their structure has a…
We construct a four supercharges Liouville superconformal field theory in four dimensions. The Liouville superfield is chiral and its lowest component is a log-correlated complex scalar whose real part carries a background charge. The…
We study the behavior of the limit of the spectrum of a non self-adjoint Sturm-Liouville operator with analytic potential as the semi-classical parameter $h\to 0$. We get a good description of the spectrum and limit spectrum near $\infty$.…
In this note we derive large-scale regularity properties of solutions to second-order linear elliptic equations with random coefficients on the half- space with homogeneous Neumann boundary data; it is a companion to arXiv:1604.02717 in…
This is an introduction to the microscopic techniques of non-rational bulk and boundary conformal field theory which are needed to describe strings moving in non-compact curved backgrounds. The latter arise e.g. in the context of…
We develop a Liouville perturbation theory for weakly driven and weakly open quantum systems in situations when the unperturbed system has a number of conservations laws. If the perturbation violates the conservation laws, it drives the…
We consider the nonlinear equation $$-u'' = f(u) + h , \quad \text{on} \quad (-1,1),$$ where $f : {\mathbb R} \to {\mathbb R}$ and $h : [-1,1] \to {\mathbb R}$ are continuous, together with general Sturm-Liouville type, multi-point boundary…
We consider a non-supersymmetric example of the AdS/CFT duality which generalizes the supersymmetric exactly marginal deformation constructed in hep-th/0502086. The string theory background we use was found in hep-th/0503201 from the AdS_5…
This paper studies a Sturm--Liouville boundary value problem in which one of the boundary conditions depends bilinearly on the spectral parameter. The differential equation is considered on the interval $(0,1)$ with a classical boundary…
We prove some Liouville properties for sub- and supersolutions of fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic equations in the whole space. Our assumptions allow the coefficients of the first order terms to be large at infinity, provided they have…
Inspired by recent conflicting views on the order of the phase transition from an antiferromagnetic Neel state to a valence bond solid, we use the functional renormalization group to study the underlying quantum critical field theory which…
Given an o-minimal expansion $\mathbb{R}_{\mathcal{A}}$ of the real ordered field, generated by a generalized quasianalytic class $\mathcal{A}$, we construct an explicit truncation closed ordered differential field embedding of the Hardy…
We study the boundary correlation functions in Liouville theory and in solvable statistical models of 2D quantum gravity. In Liouville theory we derive functional identities for all fundamental boundary structure constants, similar to the…
Starting from three-dimensional nonlinear elasticity under the restriction of incompressibility, we derive reduced models to capture the behavior of strings in response to external forces. Our $\Gamma$-convergence analysis of the…
We study open strings in the noncritical $c=1$ bosonic string theory compactified on a circle at self-dual radius. These strings live on D-branes that are extended along the Liouville direction ({\it FZZT} branes). We present explicit…
We study the non-critical string field theory with non-orientable string interactions by using the transfer matrix formalism in the dynamical triangulation. For any value of $c$ (total central charge of matter), we have constructed the…
