Reduction from a higher-dimensional to a lower-dimensional field theory can display special features when the zero-level ground state has nontrivial dependence on the reduction coordinates. In particular, a delayed `covert' form of…

Irrational invariants from D-brane superpotentials are pursued on the mirror quintic, systematically according to the degree of a representative curve. Lines are completely understood: the contribution from isolated lines vanishes. All…

We analyse new exact enumeration data for self-avoiding polygons, counted by perimeter and area on the square, triangular and hexagonal lattices. In extending earlier analyses, we focus on the perimeter moments in the vicinity of the…

We study (0,2) two-dimensional theories in type IIB configurations with D5 branes wrapping blow-up ${\bf{P}}^1$ cycles of deformed resolutions for $A_n$ singularities or in T-dual IIA configurations with suspended D4 branes. We consider…

We consider the (unoriented) long-range percolation on Z^d in dimensions d\ge1, where distinct sites x,y\in Z^d get connected with probability p_{xy}\in[0,1]. Assuming p_{xy}=|x-y|^{-s+o(1)} as |x-y|\to\infty, where s>0 and |\cdot| is a…

We propose a model for two $(d+1)$-dimensional directed polymers subjected to a mutual $\delta$-function interaction with a random coupling constant, and present an exact renormalization group study for this system. The exact…

In this paper the excluded volume of binary similar hyperparticles with small size difference in D-dimensional Euclidean spaces R2, R3, and R4 is studied using two different statistical geometry approaches. These geometric approaches,…

The dimensionally regularized massless on-shell double box Feynman diagram with powers of propagators equal to one is analytically evaluated for general values of the Mandelstam variables s and t. An explicit result is expressed either in…

We study the depinning phase transition of a directed polymer in a $d$-dimensional space by a periodic potential localized on a straight line. We give exact formulas in all dimensions for the critical pinning we need to localize the…

The dimensionally regularized master planar double box Feynman diagram with four massive and three massless lines, powers of propagators equal to one, all four legs on the mass shell, i.e. with p_i^2=m^2, i=1,2,3,4, is analytically…

We study the classical geometry associated to fractional D3-branes of type IIB string theory on R^4/Z_2 which provide the gravitational dual for N=2 super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions. As one can expect from the lack of conformal…

We consider D-branes at orientifold singularities and discuss two properties of the corresponding low energy four-dimensional effective theories which are not shared, generically, by other Calabi-Yau singularities. The first property is…

Through extensive Monte Carlo simulations, we systematically study the effect of chain stiffness on the packing ability of linear polymers composed of hard spheres in extremely confined monolayers, corresponding effectively to 2D films.…

Warped string compactifications are central to many attempts to stabilize moduli and connect string theory with cosmology and particle phenomenology. We present a first-principles derivation of the low-energy 4D effective theory from…

We study various dynamical properties (winding angles, areas) of a set of harmonically bound Brownian particles (monomers), one endpoint of this chain being kept fixed at the origin 0. In particular, we show that, for long times t, the…

We present a new list of irreducible components of the space of codimension two holomorphic foliations on $\mathbb P^{4}$. They are associated to the pull-back by branched rational maps of 1-dimensional foliations on $\mathbb P^3$ leaving…

A phase diagram for a surface interacting long flexible partially directed polymer chain in a two-dimensional poor solvent where the possibility of collapse in the bulk exists is determined using exact enumeration method. We used a model of…

For directed polymers, the shape function computes the limiting average energy accrued by paths with a given average slope. We prove that, for a large family of directed polymer models in discrete time and continuous space in dimension…

The collision of plane waves corresponding to massless states of closed string is considered in $D$-dimensional space-time. The reduced tree level effective action is known to be manifestly $O(d,d)$ invariant, $d$ being the number of…

Higher dimensional generalisations of self-duality conditions and of theta angle terms are analysed in Yang-Mills theories. For the theory on a torus, the torus metric and various antisymmetric tensors are viewed as coupling constants…
