Extended Seiberg-Witten Theory and Integrable Hierarchy
Andrei Marshakov, Nikita Nekrasov
The prepotential of the effective N=2 super-Yang-Mills theory perturbed in the ultraviolet by the descendents of the single-trace chiral operators is shown to be a particular tau-f…
Effective action and heat kernel in a toy model of brane-induced gravity
A. O. Barvinsky, A. Yu. Kamenshchik, C. Kiefer +1
We apply a recently suggested technique of the Neumann-Dirichlet reduction to a toy model of brane-induced gravity for the calculation of its quantum one-loop effective action. Thi…
Gravitational and higher-derivative interactions of massive spin 5/2 field in (A)dS space
R. R. Metsaev
Using on-shell gauge invariant formulation of relativistic dynamics we study interaction vertices for a massive spin 5/2 Dirac field propagating in (A)dS space of dimension greater…
Reducible Gauge Algebra of BRST-Invariant Constraints
I. A. Batalin, K. Bering
We show that it is possible to formulate the most general first-class gauge algebra of the operator formalism by only using BRST-invariant constraints. In particular, we extend a p…
BTZ Black Hole as Solution of 3d Higher Spin Gauge Theory
V. E. Didenko, A. S. Matveev, M. A. Vasiliev
BTZ black hole is interpreted as exact solution of 3d higher spin gauge theory. Solutions for free massless fields in BTZ black hole background are constructed with the help of the…
Thermodynamics via Creation from Nothing: Limiting the Cosmological Constant Landscape
A. O. Barvinsky, A. Yu. Kamenshchik
The creation of a quantum Universe is described by a {\em density matrix} which yields an ensemble of universes with the cosmological constant limited to a bounded range $Λ_{\rm mi…
General form of the deformation of the Poisson superbracket on (2,n)-dimensional superspace
S. E. Konstein, I. V. Tyutin
Continuous formal deformations of the Poisson superbracket defined on compactly supported smooth functions on R^2 taking values in a Grassmann algebra with N generating elements ar…
Bethe-Salpeter equation with cross-ladder kernel in Minkowski and Euclidean spaces
V. A. Karmanov, J. Carbonell, M. Mangin-Brinet
Some results obtained by a new method for solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation are presented. The method is valid for any kernel given by irreducible Feynman graphs. The Bethe-Salpe…
Gauge invariant formulation of massive totally symmetric fermionic fields in (A)dS space
R. R. Metsaev
Massive arbitrary spin totally symmetric free fermionic fields propagating in d-dimensional (Anti)-de Sitter space-time are investigated. Gauge invariant action and the correspondi…
Instantons and Merons in Matrix Models
A. Alexandrov, A. Mironov, A. Morozov
Various branches of matrix model partition function can be represented as intertwined products of universal elementary constituents: Gaussian partition functions Z_G and Kontsevich…
Quantum Effective Action in Spacetimes with Branes and Boundaries: Diffeomorphism Invariance
A. O. Barvinsky
We construct a gauge-fixing procedure in the path integral for gravitational models with branes and boundaries. This procedure incorporates a set of gauge conditions which gauge aw…
Logarithmic extensions of minimal models: characters and modular transformations
BL Feigin, AM Gainutdinov, AM Semikhatov +1
We study logarithmic conformal field models that extend the (p,q) Virasoro minimal models. For coprime positive integers and , the model is defined as the kernel of the two…
Axiomatic formulations of nonlocal and noncommutative field theories
Michael A. Soloviev
We analyze functional analytic aspects of axiomatic formulations of nonlocal and noncommutative quantum field theories. In particular, we completely clarify the relation between th…
PCT, spin and statistics, and analytic wave front set
Michael A. Soloviev
A new, more general derivation of the spin-statistics and PCT theorems is presented. It uses the notion of the analytic wave front set of (ultra)distributions and, in contrast to t…
M-Theory of Matrix Models
A. Alexandrov, A. Mironov, A. Morozov
Small M-theories unify various models of a given family in the same way as the M-theory unifies a variety of superstring models. We consider this idea in application to the family…
Positronium collapse and the maximum magnetic field in pure QED
Anatoly E. Shabad, Vladimir V. Usov
A maximum value for the magnetic field is determined, which provides the full compensation of the positronium rest mass by the binding energy in the maximum symmetry state and disa…
Cosmological Landscape From Nothing: Some Like It Hot
A. O. Barvinsky, A. Yu. Kamenshchik
We suggest a novel picture of the quantum Universe -- its creation is described by the {\em density matrix} defined by the Euclidean path integral. This yields an ensemble of unive…

A. E. Shabad, V. V. Usov
We study the electron-positron system in a strong magnetic field using the differential Bethe-Salpeter equation in the ladder approximation. We derive the fully relativistic two-di…

A. Marshakov
We consider the simplest gauge theories given by one- and two- matrix integrals and concentrate on their stringy and geometric properties. We remind general integrable structure be…
