We give a concrete sufficient condition for a simply-connected domain to be the image of the unit disk under a nonexpansive conformal map. This class of domains is also characterized by having sufficiently dense harmonic measure. The…
The traditional view in numerical conformal mapping is that once the boundary correspondence function has been found, the map and its inverse can be evaluated by contour integrals. We propose that it is much simpler, and 10-1000 times…
The factorization problem of the multi-component 2D Toda hierarchy is used to analyze the dispersionless limit of this hierarchy. A dispersive version of the Whitham hierarchy defined in terms of scalar Lax and Orlov--Schulman operators is…
We introduce a functional that couples the nonlinear sigma model with a spinor field: $L=\int_M[|d\phi|^2+(\psi,\D\psi)]$. In two dimensions, it is conformally invariant. The critical points of this functional are called Dirac-harmonic…
Conformal mapping may be the best-known topic in complex analysis. Any simply connected nonempty domain $\Omega$ in the complex plane ${{\mathbb{C}}}$ (assuming $\Omega\ne {{\mathbb{C}}}$) can be mapped bijectively to the unit disk by an…
We show how to express a conformal map of a general two connected domain in the plane such that neither boundary component is a point to a representative domain which has the virtue of having an explicit algebraic Bergman kernel function.…
Boundary conforming coordinates are commonly used in plasma physics to describe the geometry of toroidal domains, for example, in three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium solvers. The magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium configuration…
In this paper, we provide new discrete uniformization theorems for bounded, $m$-connected planar domains. To this end, we consider a planar, bounded, $m$-connected domain $\Omega$ and let $\bord\Omega$ be its boundary. Let $\mathcal{T}$…
Symmetry constraints for (2+1)-dimensional dispersionless integrable equations are considered. It is demonstrated that they naturally lead to systems of hydrodynamic type which arise within the reduction method. One also easily obtaines an…
Let $U$ be a multiply connected domain of the Riemann sphere $\hat{C}$ whose complement $\hat{C}\setminus U$ has $N<\infty$ components. We show that every conformal map on $U$ can be written as a composition of $N$ maps conformal on simply…
First we introduce the two tau-functions which appeared either as the $\tau$-function of the integrable hierarchy governing the Riemann mapping of Jordan curves or in conformal field theory and the universal Grassmannian. Then we discuss…
A rational normal scroll structure on an $(n+1)$-dimensional manifold $M$ is defined as a field of rational normal scrolls of degree $n-1$ in the projectivised cotangent bundle $\mathbb{P}T^*M$. We show that geometry of this kind naturally…
We review 2d CFT in the bootstrap approach, and sketch the known exactly solvable CFTs with no extended chiral symmetry: Liouville theory, (generalized) minimal models, limits thereof, and loop CFTs, including the $O(n)$, Potts and $PSU(n)$…
Our goal is to provide a novel method of representing 2D shapes, where each shape will be assigned a unique fingerprint - a computable approximation to a conformal map of the given shape to a canonical shape in 2D or 3D space (see page 22…
We show that the generating series of some Hodge integrals involving one or two partitions are tau-functions of the KP hierarchy or the 2-Toda hierarchy respectively. We also formulate a conjecture on the connection between relative…
A higher dimensional analogue of the dispersionless KP hierarchy is introduced. In addition to the two-dimensional ``phase space'' variables $(k,x)$ of the dispersionless KP hierarchy, this hierarchy has extra spatial dimensions…
We construct a certain reduction of the 2D Toda hierarchy and obtain a tau-symmetric Hamiltonian integrable hierarchy. This reduced integrable hierarchy controls the linear Hodge integrals in the way that one part of its flows yields the…
String theory is the most promising candidate for the theory unifying all interactions including gravity. It has an extremely difficult dynamics. Therefore, it is useful to study some its simplifications. One of them is non-critical string…
Based on the matrix-resolvent approach, for an arbitrary solution to the discrete KdV hierarchy, we define the tau-function of the solution, and compare it with another tau-function of the solution defined via reduction of the Toda lattice…
