We study the asymptotics of certain measures on partitions (the so-called z-measures and their relatives) in two different regimes: near the diagonal of the corresponding Young diagram and in the intermediate zone between the diagonal and…

We study slow collective motion of isoscalar type at finite excitation. The collective variable is parameterized as a shape degree of freedom and the mean field is approximated by a deformed shell model potential. We concentrate on…

The thesis is devoted to the problem of colour confinement in the non-Abelian Yang-Mills theory (gluon part of Quantum Chromodynamics). A generalisation of the 3-dimensional Fock-Schwinger gauge is proposed where the Gauss law constraint is…

We study the renormalized Nelson model for a scalar matter particle in a continuous confining potential interacting with a possibly massless quantized radiation field. When the radiation field is massless we impose a mild infrared…

We consider a classical system of $N$ particles confined in a box $\Lambda\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ interacting via a finite range pair potential. Given the validity of the cluster expansion in the canonical ensemble we compute the error between…

A common approach to study nucleation rates is the estimation of free-energy barriers. This usually requires knowledge about the shape of the forming droplet, a task that becomes notoriously difficult in macromolecular setups starting with…

We show that the presence of finite-size monopoles can lead to a number of interesting physical processes involving quantum entanglement of charges. Taking as a model the classical solution of the N=2 SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, we study…

We consider $U(N)_k$ Chern-Simons theory on $S^3$ in Seifert framing and write down the partition function as a unitary matrix model. In the large $k$ and large $N$ limit the eigenvalue density satisfies an upper bound…

Noncolliding Brownian motion (Dyson's Brownian motion model with parameter $\beta=2$) and noncolliding Bessel processes are determinantal processes; that is, their space-time correlation functions are represented by determinants. Under a…

Quantum size effects on the permittivity of metal nanoparticles are investigated using the quantum box model. Explicit upper and lower bounds are derived for the permittivity and relaxation rates due to quantum confinement effects. These…

We study the matrix models that result from localization of the partition functions of N=2 Chern-Simons-matter theories on the three-sphere. A large class of such theories are conjectured to be holographically dual to M-theory on…

Quantitative limit theorems for non-linear functionals on the Wiener space are considered. Given the possibly infinite sequence of kernels of the chaos decomposition of such a functional, an estimate for different probability distances…

The singular part of the finite-size free energy density $f_s$ of the O(n) symmetric $\phi^4$ field theory in the large-n limit is calculated at finite cutoff for confined geometries of linear size L with periodic boundary conditions in 2 <…

In this letter new, closed and compact analytic expressions for the evaluation of resonant energies, resonant bound-states, eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for both scattering and bounded $n$-cell systems are reported. It is shown that for…

We study Nekrasov's deformed partition function of 5-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory compactified on a circle. Mathematically it is the generating function of the characters of the coordinate rings of the moduli spaces of…

We investigate the possibility for a quark-antiquark pair to form a bound state at temperatures higher than the critical one ($T>T_c$), thus after deconfinement. Our main goal is to find analytical criteria constraining the existence of…

We consider a system of $N$ particles living on the noncommutative plane in the presence of a confining potential and study its thermodynamics properties. Indeed, after calculating the partition function, we determine the corresponding…

We calculate the energy deposition by very short laser pulses in SiO_2 (alpha-quartz) with a view to establishing systematics for predicting damage and nanoparticle production. The theoretical framework is time-dependent density functional…

Gauge-invariant polynomial functions of matrix and tensor variables capture combinatorial structures of gauge-string duality, which can be usefully organised using finite-dimensional associative algebras. I review recent work on eigenvalue…

It has been shown that the mechanism of formation of glue-bags in the strong coupling limit of Yang-Mills theory can be understood in terms of the dynamics of a higher-rank abelian gauge field, namely, the 3-form dual to the Chern-Simons…
