For any classical Lie algebra $g$, we construct a family of integrable generalizations of Toda mechanics labeled a pair of ordered integers $(m,n)$. The universal form of the Lax pair, equations of motion, Hamiltonian as well as Poisson…
We review recent results in the matrix model approach to the 2-d non-critical string theory compactified in time, in the phase of condensation of the world sheet vortices (above the Berezinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition). This…
We show that the most general two--matrix model with bilinear coupling underlies $c=1$ string theory. More precisely we prove that $W_{1+\infty}$ constraints, a subset of the correlation functions and the integrable hierarchy characterizing…
One fruitful motivating principle of much research on the family of integrable systems known as ``Toda lattices'' has been the heuristic assumption that the periodic Toda lattice in an affine Lie algebra is directly analogous to the…
In analogy with the Liouville case we study the $sl_3$ Toda theory on the lattice and define the relevant quadratic algebra and out of it we recover the discrete $W_3$ algebra. We define an integrable system with respect to the latter and…
The Toda lattice defined by the Hamiltonian $H={1\over 2} \sum_{i=1}^n p_i^2 + \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} \nu_i e^{q_i-q_{i+1}}$ with $\nu_i\in \{ \pm 1\}$, which exhibits singular (blowing up) solutions if some of the $\nu_i=-1$, can be viewed as…
We develop a systematic procedure of finding integrable ''relativistic'' (regular one-parameter) deformations for integrable lattice systems. Our procedure is based on the integrable time discretizations and consists of three steps. First,…
We construct a hierarchy of supersymmetric string theories by showing that the general N-extended superstrings may be viewed as a special class of the (N+1)-extended superstrings. As a side result, we find a twisted (N+2) superconformal…
I argue that in open-string theory with hierarchically small (or large) extra dimensions, gauge groups can unify naturally with logarithmically-running coupling constants at the high Kaluza-Klein (or string-winding) scale. This opens up the…
It has been argued by Ishikawa and Kato that by making use of a specific bosonization, $c_M=1$ string theory can be regarded as a constrained topological sigma model. We generalize their construction for any $(p,q)$ minimal model coupled to…
We discuss the non--perturbative formulation for $c \leq 1$ string theory. The field theory like formulation of topological and non--topological models is presented. The integral representation for arbitrary $(p,q)$ solutions is derived…
The duality between a class of the Davey-Stewartson type coupled systems and a class of two-dimensional Toda type lattices is discussed. For the recently found integrable lattice the hierarchy of symmetries is described. Second and third…
We introduce a new parametrisation for the Fermi sea of the $c = 1$ matrix model. This leads to a simple derivation of the scattering matrix, and a calculation of boundary corrections in the corresponding $1+1$--dimensional string theory.…
We study elliptic families of solutions to the recently introduced constrained Toda hierarchy, i.e., solutions which are elliptic functions of some linear combination of the hierarchical times. Equations of motion for poles of such…
Amidst all candidates of physics beyond the Standard Model, string theory provides a unique proposal for incorporating gauge and gravitational interactions. In string theory, a four-dimensional theory that unifies quantum mechanics and…
The origin of the bosonic and fermionic solutions, constructed in [1,2,3], to the symmetry equations corresponding to the two-dimensional bosonic and N=(2|2) supersymmetric Toda lattices is established, and algebras of the corresponding…
String theory is the leading candidate for a unified theory of the standard model and gravity. In the last few years theorists have realized that there is a unique structure underlying string theory. In this unification a prominent role is…
We compute exact solutions of two--matrix models, i.e. detailed genus by genus expressions for the correlation functions of these theories, calculated without any approximation. We distinguish between two types of models, the unconstrained…
The Toda hierarchy of size $N$ is well known to be analogous to the KdV hierarchy at $N$ goes to infinity. This paper shows that given $f$ a periodic function, there is a canonical way of defining the initial data for the Toda lattice…
We study the relation between topological string theory and singularity theory using the partition function of $A_{N-1}$ topological string defined by matrix integral of Kontsevich type. Genus expansion of the free energy is considered, and…
