Quantum Foam and Topological Strings
A. Iqbal, N. Nekrasov, A. Okounkov +1
We find an interpretation of the recent connection found between topological strings on Calabi-Yau threefolds and crystal melting: Summing over statistical mechanical configuration…
Superfield formalism for the one loop effective action and CP(N) model in three dimensions
Jin-Ho Cho, Sang-Ok Hahn, Phillial Oh +2
To obtain the one loop effective action for a given superfield theory, one encounters the notion such as the `supertrace' of a differential operator on superspace. We develop, in a…
Dimensional regularization of the third post-Newtonian dynamics of point particles in harmonic coordinates
Luc Blanchet, Thibault Damour, Gilles Esposito-Farese
Dimensional regularization is used to derive the equations of motion of two point masses in harmonic coordinates. At the third post-Newtonian (3PN) approximation, it is found that…
Constructive Methods of Invariant Manifolds for Kinetic Problems
A. N. Gorban, I. V. Karlin, A. Yu. Zinovyev
We present the Constructive Methods of Invariant Manifolds for model reduction in physical and chemical kinetics, developed during last two decades. The problem of reduced descript…
Dynamics of M-theory vacua
John F. Donoghue
At very early times, the universe was not in a vacuum state. Under the assumtion that the deviation from equillibrium was large, in particular that it is higher than the scale of i…
L^2-Homology for von Neumann Algebras
Alain Connes, Dimitri Shlyakhtenko
We define the notion of L^2 homology and L^2 Betti numbers for a tracial von Neumann algebra, or, more generally, for any involutive algebra with a trace. The definition of these i…
Little cubes and long knots
Ryan Budney
This paper gives a partial description of the homotopy type of K, the space of long knots in 3-dimensional Euclidean space. The primary result is the construction of a homotopy equ…
Uniqueness of thermodynamic projector and kinetic basis of molecular individualism
A. N. Gorban, I. V. Karlin
Three results are presented: First, we solve the problem of persistence of dissipation for reduction of kinetic models. Kinetic equations with thermodynamic Lyapunov functions are…
Moduli space and structure of noncommutative 3-spheres
Alain Connes, Michel Dubois-Violette
We analyse the moduli space and the structure of noncommutative 3-spheres. We develop the notion of central quadratic form for quadratic algebras, and prove a general algebraic res…
Insertion and Elimination Lie Algebra: the Ladder case
Igor Mencattini, Dirk Kreimer
We prove that insertion-elimination Lie algebra of Feynman graphs, in the ladder case, has a natural interpretation in terms of a certain algebra of infinite dimensional matrices.…
On Conformal Field Theory and Stochastic Loewner Evolution
Roland Friedrich, Jussi Kalkkinen
We describe Stochastic Loewner Evolution on arbitrary Riemann surfaces with boundary using Conformal Field Theory methods. We propose in particular a CFT construction for a probabi…
Invariant grids for reaction kinetics
A. N. Gorban, I. V. Karlin, A. Yu. Zinovyev
In this paper, we review the construction of low-dimensional manifolds of reduced description for equations of chemical kinetics from the standpoint of the method of invariant mani…
Counting Flux Vacua
Sujay Ashok, Michael R. Douglas
We develop a technique for computing expected numbers of vacua in Gaussian ensembles of supergravity theories, and apply it to derive an asymptotic formula for the index counting a…
Seiberg-Witten Theory and Random Partitions
Nikita Nekrasov, Andrei Okounkov
We study N=2 supersymmetric four dimensional gauge theories, in a certain N=2 supergravity background, called Omega-background. The partition function of the theory in the Omega-ba…
Seiberg-Witten prepotential from instanton counting
Nikita A. Nekrasov
In my lecture I consider integrals over moduli spaces of supersymmetric gauge field configurations (instantons, Higgs bundles, torsion free sheaves). The applications are twofold:…
Unruh quantization in presence of a condensate
V. A. Belinskii, N. B. Narozhny, A. M. Fedotov +1
We have shown that the Unruh quantization scheme can be realized in Minkowski spacetime in the presence of Bose-Einstein condensate containing infinite average number of particles…
Higher Operads, Higher Categories
Tom Leinster
Higher-dimensional category theory is the study of n-categories, operads, braided monoidal categories, and other such exotic structures. It draws its inspiration from areas as dive…
The statistics of string/M theory vacua
Michael R. Douglas
We discuss systematic approaches to the classification of string/M theory vacua, and physical questions this might help us resolve. To this end, we initiate the study of ensembles…
Holomorphic Equivariant Cohomology via a Transversal Holomorphic Vector Field
Huitao Feng
In this paper an analytic proof of a generalization of a theorem of Bismut ([Bis1, Theorem 5.1]) is given, which says that, when is a transversal holomorphic vector field on a…
Gauge/string duality for QCD conformal operators
A. V. Belitsky, A. S. Gorsky, G. P. Korchemsky
Renormalization group evolution of QCD composite light-cone operators, built from two and more quark and gluon fields, is responsible for the logarithmic scaling violations in dive…
On the Geometry of Matrix Models for N=1*
M. Petrini, A. Tomasiello, A. Zaffaroni
We investigate the geometry of the matrix model associated with an N=1 super Yang-Mills theory with three adjoint fields, which is a massive deformation of N=4. We study in particu…
The IAU 2000 resolutions for astrometry, celestial mechanics and metrology in the relativistic framework: explanatory supplement
M. Soffel, S. A. Klioner, G. Petit +17
This paper discusses the IAU Resolutions B1.3, B1.4, B1.5 and B1.9 (2000) that were adopted during the 24th General Assembly in Manchester, 2000 and provides details and explanatio…
Supersymmetric M-theory compactifications with fluxes on seven-manifolds and G-structures
Peter Kaste, Ruben Minasian, Alessandro Tomasiello
We consider Minkowski compactifications of M-theory on generic seven-dimensional manifolds. After analyzing the conditions on the four-form flux, we establish a set of relations be…
Extending the definition of entropy to nonequilibrium steady states
David Ruelle
We study the nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of a finite classical system subjected to nongradient forces and maintained at fixed kinetic energy (Hoover-Evans isokinetic t…
