A comparison is made between proposals for the exact three point function in Liouville quantum field theory and the nonperturbative weak coupling expansion developed long ago by Braaten, Curtright, Ghandour, and Thorn. Exact agreement to…

In this paper we propose a non-minimal, and ghost free, coupling between the gauge field and the fermionic one from which we obtain, perturbatively, terms with higher order derivatives as quantum corrections to the photon effective action…

We study the celestial three-gluon amplitude in a dilaton background through the Mellin-Liouville formulation proposed by Stieberger, Taylor and Zhu (STZ). The original map contains an ambiguity in the identification of Liouville and Mellin…

We consider semilinear elliptic second-order partial differential inequalities of the form Lu +|u|q-1u < and = Lv +|v|q-1v (*) in the whole space Rn, where n > and = 2, q > 0 and L is a linear elliptic second-order partial differential…

We study a commonly-used second-kind boundary-integral equation for solving the Helmholtz exterior Neumann problem at high frequency, where, writing $\Gamma$ for the boundary of the obstacle, the relevant integral operators map…

Electromagnetic plane waves provide examples of time-dependent open string backgrounds free of $\alpha'$ corrections. The solvable case of open strings in a quadrupolar wave front, analogous to pp-waves for closed strings, is discussed. In…

We propose that there exist generalized Seiberg-Witten equations in the Liouville conformal field theory, which allow the computation of correlation functions from the resolution of certain Ward identities. These identities involve a…

We study multi-charged rotating string states on Type IIB regular backgrounds dual to confining SU(N) gauge theories with (softly broken) {\cal N}=1 supersymmetry, in the infra red regime. After exhibiting the classical energy/charge…

We study N=1 super Liouville theory on worldsheets with and without boundary. Some basic correlation functions on a sphere or a disc are obtained using the properties of degenerate representations of superconformal algebra. Boundary states…

We extend earlier ideas about the appearance of noncommutative geometry in string theory with a nonzero B-field. We identify a limit in which the entire string dynamics is described by a minimally coupled (supersymmetric) gauge theory on a…

We obtain an operator algebraic characterization of the noncommutative Furstenberg-Poisson boundary $\operatorname{L}(\Gamma) \subset \operatorname{L}(\Gamma \curvearrowright B)$ associated with an admissible probability measure $\mu \in…

We determine the spectrum and correlation functions of Liouville theory with a central charge less than (or equal) one. This completes the definition of Liouville theory for all complex values of the central charge. The spectrum is always…

We construct non-extremal dyonic string solutions in 6D minimal supergravity where the leading higher derivative corrections arise from either the type IIA string theory compactified on K3 or the heterotic string theory compactified on…

This is the final part of a series of papers where we study perturbations of divergence form second order elliptic operators $-\operatorname{div} A \nabla$ by first and zero order terms, whose complex coefficients lie in critical spaces,…

We investigate the characterization of generators $\mathcal{L}$ of L\'evy processes satisfying the Liouville theorem: Bounded functions $u$ solving $\mathcal{L}[u]=0$ are constant. These operators are degenerate elliptic of the form…

We study the limit of D-series minimal models when the central charge tends to a generic irrational value $c\in (-\infty, 1)$. We find that the limit theory's diagonal three-point structure constant differs from that of Liouville theory by…

Inverse spectral problems for Sturm-Liouville operators with nonlocal boundary conditions are studied. As the main spectral characteristics we introduce the so-called Weyl-type function and two spectra, which are generalizations of the…

We characterize the potential-energy functions $V(x)$ that minimize the gap $\Gamma$ between the two lowest Sturm-Liouville eigenvalues for \[ H(p,V) u := -\frac{d}{dx} \left(p(x)\frac{du}{dx}\right)+V(x) u = \lambda u, \quad\quad x\in…

We introduce a variational algorithm, which solves the classical inverse Sturm-Liouville problem when two spectra are given. In contrast to other approaches, it recovers the potential as well as the boundary conditions without a priori…

We determine square root domains for non-self-adjoint Sturm--Liouville operators of the type $$ L_{p,q,r,s} = - \frac{d}{dx}p\frac{d}{dx}+r\frac{d}{dx}-\frac{d}{dx}s+q $$ in $L^2((c,d);dx)$, where either $(c,d)$ coincides with the real line…
