The algebraic area probability distribution of closed planar random walks of length N on a square lattice is considered. The generating function for the distribution satisfies a recurrence relation in which the combinatorics is encoded. A…

We construct lattice gauge theories in which the elements of the link matrices are represented by non-commuting operators acting in a Hilbert space. These quantum link models are related to ordinary lattice gauge theories in the same way as…

The equation for QCD string proposed earlier is reviewed. This equation appears when we examine the gonihedric string model and the corresponding transfer matrix. Arguing that string equation should have a generalized Dirac form we found…

We review recent developments on nonrelativistic string theory. In flat spacetime, the theory is defined by a two-dimensional relativistic quantum field theory with nonrelativistic global symmetries acting on the worldsheet fields. This…

We classify the unitary, renormalizable, Lorentz violating quantum field theories of interacting scalars and fermions, obtained improving the behavior of Feynman diagrams by means of higher space derivatives. Higher time derivatives are not…

The quantization of circular strings in an anti-de Sitter background spacetime is performed, obtaining a discrete spectrum for the string mass. A comparison with a four-dimensional homogeneous and isotropic spacetime coupled to a conformal…

An anomaly-free quantum theory of a relativistic string is constructed in two-dimensional space-time. The states of the string are found to be similar to the states of a massless chiral quantum particle. This result is obtained by…

We define string geometry: spaces of superstrings including the interactions, their topologies, charts, and metrics. Trajectories in asymptotic processes on a space of strings reproduce the right moduli space of the super Riemann surfaces…

QCD string is formed at the distances larger than the confinement scale and can be described by the Polchinski--Strominger effective string theory with a nonpolynomial action, which has nevertheless a well-defined semiclassical expansion…

This is mainly a brief review of some key achievements in a `hot'' area of theoretical and mathematical physics. The principal aim is to outline the basic structures underlying {\em integrable} quantum field theory models with {\em…

We construct a string theory realization of the 4+1d quantum Hall effect recently discovered by Zhang and Hu. The string theory picture contains coincident D4-branes forming an S^4 and having D0-branes (i.e. instantons) in their…

Non-relativistic charged particles and strings coupled with abelian gauge fields are quantized in a geometric representation that generalizes the Loop Representation. We consider three models: the string in self-interaction through a…

We perform a foliation of a four dimensional Riemannian space-time with respect to a discrete time which is an integer multiple of the Planck time. We find that the quantum fluctuations of the metric have a discrete energy spectrum. The…

We construct a new model of four-dimensional relativistic strings with integrable dynamics on the worldsheet. In addition to translational modes this model contains a single massless pseudoscalar worldsheet field - the worldsheet axion. The…

A novel ansatz for solving the string equations of motion and constraints in generic curved backgrounds, namely the planetoid ansatz, was proposed recently by some authors. We construct several specific examples of planetoid strings in…

The unified theory of string and two-dimensional quantum gravity is considered. The action for two-dimensional gravity is choosen in a well-known induced form and thus gravity posesses it's oun nontrivial dynamics even on the classical…

A generic lattice cut-off model is introduced describing the quantum meandering of a single cuprate stripe. The fixed point dynamics is derived, showing besides free string behavior a variety of partially quantum disordered phases, bearing…

With the introduction of a spectral representation, the Schwinger--Dyson equation (SDE) for the fermion propagator is formulated in Minkowski space in QED. After imposing the on-shell renormalization conditions, numeric solutions for the…

We compute the quark-antiquark potential employing the continuum action for QCD-like random lattice strings proposed by Siegel. The model leads to a potential similar to those obtained from Nambu-Goto string theory but has some…

Special solutions of string theory in supercritical dimensions can interpolate in time between theories with different numbers of spacetime dimensions (via dimension quenching) and different amounts of worldsheet supersymmetry (via…
