In the first part of the talk, I review the applications of loop equations to the matrix models and to 2-dimensional quantum gravity which is defined as their continuum limit. The results concerning multi-loop correlators for low genera and…

Macroscopic loop correlators are investigated in the hermitian one matrix model with the potential perturbed by the higher order curvature term. In the phase of smooth surfaces the model is equivalent to the minimal conformal matter coupled…

Complex analysis is a powerful tool to study classical integrable systems, statistical physics on the random lattice, random matrix theory, topological string theory,... All these topics share certain relations, called "loop equations" or…

Hamiltonians of a wide-spread class of strongly coupled quantum system models are expressed as nonlinear functions of $sl(2)$ generators. It enables us to use the $sl(2)$ formalism, in particular, $sl(2)$ generalized coherent states (GCS)…

We propose a natural definition of the weighted $\sigma_k$-curvature for a manifold with density; i.e.\ a triple $(M^n,g,e^{-\phi}\mathrm{dvol})$. This definition is intended to capture the key properties of the $\sigma_k$-curvatures in…

Nonlinear sigma models on de Sitter background possess the same kind of derivative interactions as gravity, and show the same sorts of large spacetime logarithms in correlation functions and solutions to the effective field equations. It…

In the half-space model of the hyperbolic three space with the hyperbolic metric, this same space can be seen as the Lie group, hence, a translation surface is a surface that is given by the product of two curves $\alpha$ and $\beta$ in…

We show that the 2-torus in ${\mathbb R}^3$ is a critical point of a sequence of functionals ${\cal F}_{n}$ ($n=1,2,3, \cdots$) defined over compact 2-surfaces in ${\mathbb R}^3$. When the Lagrange function ${\cal E}$ is a polynomial of…

We present a study of the excitations of the edge of a two-dimensional electron droplet in a magnetic field in terms of a contour dynamics formalism. We find that, beyond the usual linear approximation, the non-linear analysis yields…

We have calculated the first-order beta-functions for a sigma-model ( with dilaton) dualized with respect to an arbitrary Lie group that acts without isotropy. We find that non-abelian duality preserves conformal invariance for semi-simple…

It is known that the Whittaker functions $w(q,\lambda)$ associated to the group SL(N) are eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonians of the open Toda chain, hence satisfy a set of differential equations in the Toda variables $q_i$. Using the…

We derive the analogues of the Harer-Zagier formulas for single- and double-trace correlators in the q-deformed Hermitian Gaussian matrix model. This fully describes single-trace correlators and opens a road to $q$-deformations of important…

Solitons and cavitons (localized solutions with singularities) for the nonlocal Whitham equations are studied. The equation of a fourth order with a parameter in front of fourth derivative for traveling waves is reduced to a reversible…

We determine all composition-closed equational classes of Boolean functions. These classes provide a natural generalization of clones and iterative algebras: they are closed under composition, permutation and identification…

These lectures deal mainly with solitons in three-dimensional Moyal-deformed sigma models. The topics are: static and moving (multi-)solitons of the (integrable) Ward sigma model, with space-space and time-space noncommutativity, their…

We theoretically investigate the properties of magnetically-levitated superconducting rotors confined in anti-Helmholtz traps, for application in magnetomechanical experiments. We study both the translational modes and a librational mode.…

Let $\Sigma_{g,n}$ be a compact oriented surface with genus $g\geq 2$ bordered by $n$ circles. Due to Witten, the twisted Reidemeister torsion coincides with a power of the Atiyah-Bott-Goldman-Narasimhan symplectic form on the space of…

The relevance of perturbed forms of the Korteweg-de Vries equation to a range of physical problems is discussed. Solutions which are perturbations of solitary travelling wave solutions are then considered, focussing predominantly on the…
