We consider two questions on the geometry of Lipschitz free $p$-spaces $\mathcal F_p$, where $0<p\leq 1$, over subsets of finite-dimensional vector spaces. We solve an open problem and show that if $(\mathcal M, \rho)$ is an infinite…

Finite size corrections to the pressure (free energy) of the Ising model on a 2 dimensional cylinder are calculated and shown to be consistent with the predictions of conformal field theory. The exact solution of the model is expressed in…

We consider a long, semiflexible polymer, with persistence length $P$ and contour length $L$, fluctuating in a narrow cylindrical channel of diameter $D$. In the regime $D\ll P\ll L$ the free energy of confinement $\Delta F$ and the length…

We derive the analytical expression for the first finite size correction to the average free energy of disordered Ising models on random regular graphs. The formula can be physically interpreted as a weighted sum over all non…

We use Kaufman's spinor method to calculate the bulk, surface and corner free energies $f_b, f_s, f_s', f_c$ of the anisotropic square lattice zero-field Ising model for the ordered ferromagnetic case. For $f_b, f_s, f'_s$ our results of…

We calculate the large-$N$ expansion of the sphere free energy $F=-\log Z_{S^d}$ of the O(N) $\phi^4$ and the Gross-Neveu $(\bar{\psi} \psi)^2$ CFTs to order $1/N$. Analytic regularization of these theories requires consistently shifting…

We revisit the enumeration problems of random discrete surfaces (RDS) based on solutions of the discrete equations derived from the matrix models. For RDS made of squares, the recursive coefficients of orthogonal polynomials associated with…

A mathematical framework is constructed for the sum of the lowest N eigenvalues of a potential. Exactness is illustrated on several model systems (harmonic oscillator, particle in a box, and Poschl-Teller well). Its order-by-order…

We study cutoff and lattice effects in the O(n) symmetric $\phi^4$ theory for a $d$-dimensional cubic geometry of size $L$ with periodic boundary conditions. In the large-N limit above $T_c$, we show that $\phi^4$ field theory at finite…

We study asymptotics of perfect matchings on a large class of graphs called the contracting square-hexagon lattice, which is constructed row by row from either a row of a square grid or a row of a hexagonal lattice. We assign the graph…

We identify natural degrees of freedom of polycrystalline materials -- affine transformations of grains -- with those of a three-dimensional lattice theory for $(T\otimes\Omega)(\mathbb{R}^3)$. We define a lattice Dirac operator on this…

I discuss the 2-flavor Schwinger model both without and with fermion masses. I argue that the concept of "conformal coalescence," in unparticle physics in which linear combinations of short distance operators can disappear from the…

We prove a number of results concerning the large $N$ asymptotics of the free energy of a random matrix model with a polynomial potential $V(z)$. Our approach is based on a deformation $\tau_tV(z)$ of $V(z)$ to $z^2$, $0\le t<\infty$ and on…

We investigate the behavior of the rare fluctuations of the free energy in the p-spin spherical model, evaluating the corresponding rate function via the G\"artner-Ellis theorem. This approach requires the knowledge of the analytic…

We calculate the universal part of the free energy of certain finite two- dimensional regions at criticality by use of conformal field theory. Two geometries are considered: a section of a circle ("pie slice") of angle \phi and a helical…

For the first time the persistent current in a 2D free-electron system has been calculated analytically. The tight binding model is considered on a square lattice with filling factor 1/2. The array has a shape of rectangle with boundary…

In this paper we investigate the height field of a dimer model/random domino tiling on the plane at a smooth-rough (i.e. gas-liquid) transition. We prove that the height field at this transition has two-point correlation functions which…

We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a positive finite energy solution to the inhomogeneous quasilinear elliptic equation \[ -\Delta_{p} u = \sigma u^{q} + \mu \quad \text{on} \;\; \mathbb{R}^n \] in the…

We examine the renormalized free energy of the free Dirac fermion and the free scalar on a (2+1)-dimensional geometry $\mathbb{R} \times \Sigma$, with $\Sigma$ having spherical topology and prescribed area. Using heat kernel methods, we…

Sigma models arise frequently in particle physics and condensed-matter physics as low-energy effective theories. In this paper I compute the exact free energy at any temperature in two hierarchies of integrable sigma models in two…
