Many types of point singularity have a topological index, or 'charge', associated with them. For example the phase of a complex field depending on two variables can either increase or decrease on making a clockwise circuit around a simple…
Recent observations on type III algebras in AdS/CFT raise the possibility that smoothness of the black hole horizon is an emergent feature of the large-$N$ limit. In this paper, we present a $bulk$ model for the finite-$N$ mechanism…
In random tiling and dimer models we can get various limit shapes which gives the boundaries between different types of phases. The shape fluctuations at these boundaries give rise to universal limit laws, in particular the Airy process. We…
Vortices represent a class of topological solitons arising in gauge theories coupled with complex scalar fields, holding significant importance across various domains of modern physics. In this paper we establish the existence of vortex…
We study the Glauber dynamics on the set of tilings of a finite domain of the plane with lozenges of side 1/L. Under the invariant measure of the process (the uniform measure over all tilings), it is well known that the random height…
We present a formal, approximate model for singularity formation in classical fluid dynamics in three dimensions. The construction utilizes an approximation of local two-dimensionality to study an anti-parallel hairpin vortex structure with…
We clarify three aspects of non-compact elliptic genera. Firstly, we give a path integral derivation of the elliptic genus of the cigar conformal field theory from its non-linear sigma-model description. The result is a manifestly modular…
Given a finite rhombus tiling of a polygonal region in the plane, the associated critical $Z$-invariant Ising model is invariant under star-triangle transformations. We give a simple matrix formula describing spin correlations between…
Finite-size corrections to the energy levels of the asymmetric six-vertex model transfer matrix are considered using the Bethe ansatz solution for the critical region. The non-universal complex anisotropy factor is related to the bulk…
In many physical scenarios, close relations between the bulk properties of quantum systems and theories associated to their boundaries have been observed. In this work, we provide an exact duality mapping between the bulk of a quantum spin…
In this article, we show that, in the free-fermion regime of the six-vertex model, all $k$-point correlation functions of vertex types admit a determinantal representation: \begin{align*} \mathbb{P}\Bigg( \bigcap_{p=1}^k \{ \text{vertex at…
The correlation functions of an arbitrary number of boundary monomers in the system of close-packed dimers on the square lattice are computed exactly in the scaling limit. The equivalence of the 2n-point correlation functions with those of…
A system of three point vortices in an unbounded plane has a special family of self-similarly contracting or expanding solutions: during the motion, vortex triangle remains similar to the original one, while its area decreases (grows) at a…
The trigonometric six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions and one partially reflecting end on a lattice of size $2n\times m$, $m\leq n$, is considered. The partition function is computed using the Izergin-Korepin method,…
A boundary one point function related to the boundary spontaneous polarization, which is different from the ones considered in the past, is studied for the six vertex model on a 2N \times N lattice with domain wall boundary condition and…
A correlation function of the XY spin chain is studied at zero temperature. This is called the Emptiness Formation Probability (EFP) and is expressed by the Fredholm determinant in the thermodynamic limit. We formulate the associated…
We consider the $q^\text{Volume}$ lozenge tiling model on a large, finite hexagon. It is well-known that random lozenge tilings of the hexagon correspond to a two-dimensional determinantal point process via a bijection with ensembles of…
While M- and F-theory compactifications describe a much larger class of vacua than perturbative string compactifications, they typically need singularities to generate non-abelian gauge fields and charged matter. The physical explanation…
In earlier work, Jockusch, Propp, and Shor proved a theorem describing the limiting shape of the boundary between the uniformly tiled corners of a random tiling of an Aztec diamond and the more unpredictable `temperate zone' in the interior…
This paper presents a topological framework for investigating the Birch and Swinnerton Dyer conjecture through four dimensional embeddings of elliptic curves. We propose a correspondence between the algebraic rank of an elliptic curve and…
