Finite field-energy of a point charge in QED

Caio V. Costa, Dmitri M. Gitman, Anatoly E. Shabad

We consider a simple nonlinear (quartic in the fields) gauge-invariant modification of classical electrodynamics, which possesses a regularizing ability sufficient to make the fiel…

Higher-Rank Fields and Currents

O. A. Gelfond, M. A. Vasiliev

invariant field equations in the space with symmetric matrix coordinates are classified. Analogous results are obtained for Minkowski-like subspaces of ${\cal…

Residue Formulas for Prepotentials, Instanton Expansions and Conformal Blocks

P. Gavrylenko, A. Marshakov

We study the extended prepotentials for the S-duality class of quiver gauge theories, considering them as quasiclassical tau-functions, depending on gauge theory condensates and ba…

Light-cone gauge approach to arbitrary spin fields, currents, and shadows

R. R. Metsaev

Totally symmetric arbitrary spin fields in AdS space, conformal fields, conformal currents, and shadow fields in flat space are studied. Light-cone formulation for such fields, cur…

Frame-like Lagrangians and presymplectic AKSZ-type sigma models

K. B. Alkalaev, Maxim Grigoriev

We study supergeometric structures underlying frame-like Lagrangians. We show that for the theory in n spacetime dimensions both the frame-like Lagrangian and its gauge symmetries…

S-Duality and Modular Transformation as a non-perturbative deformation of the ordinary pq-duality

D. Galakhov, A. Mironov, A. Morozov

A recent claim that the S-duality between 4d SUSY gauge theories, which is AGT related to the modular transformations of 2d conformal blocks, is no more than an ordinary Fourier tr…

Dark matter as a ghost free conformal extension of Einstein theory

A. O. Barvinsky

We discuss ghost free models of the recently suggested mimetic dark matter theory. This theory is shown to be a conformal extension of Einstein general relativity. Dark matter orig…

On higher spin extension of the Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity model

K. B. Alkalaev

We formulate AdS_2 higher spin gravity as BF theory with fields taking values in sl(N,R) algebra treated as higher spin algebra. The theory is topological and naturally extends the…

Magnetic response to applied electrostatic field in external magnetic field

T. C. Adorno, D. M. Gitman, A. E. Shabad

We show, within QED and other possible nonlinear theories, that a static charge localized in a finite domain of space becomes a magnetic dipole, if it is placed in an external (con…

External Sources in Field-Antifield Formalism

Igor A. Batalin, Klaus Bering

We introduce external sources J_A directly into the quantum master action W of the field-antifield formalism instead of the effective action. The external sources J_A lead to a set…

On genus expansion of superpolynomials

A. Mironov, A. Morozov, A. Sleptsov +1

Recently it was shown that the (Ooguri-Vafa) generating function of HOMFLY polynomials is the Hurwitz partition function, i.e. that the dependence of the HOMFLY polynomials on repr…

Link polynomial calculus and the AENV conjecture

S. Arthamonov, A. Mironov, A. Morozov +1

Using the recently proposed differential hierarchy (Z-expansion) technique, we obtain a general expression for the HOMFLY polynomials in two arbitrary symmetric representations of…

BRST technique for the cosmological density matrix

Andrei O. Barvinsky

The microcanonical density matrix in closed cosmology has a natural definition as a projector on the space of solutions of Wheeler-DeWitt equations, which is motivated by the absen…

Thermal power spectrum in the CFT driven cosmology

A. O. Barvinsky

We present an overview of the recently suggested cosmological model driven by conformal field theory (CFT) with the initial conditions in the form of the microcanonical density mat…

Nonlinear corrections in basic problems of electro- and magneto-statics in the vacuum

Caio V. Costa, Dmitry M. Gitman, Anatoly E. Shabad

We find third-power nonlinear corrections to the Coulomb and other static electric fields, as well as to the electric and magnetic dipole fields, as we work within QED with no back…

Three-particle Integrable Systems with Elliptic Dependence on Momenta and Theta Function Identities

G. Aminov, A. Mironov, A. Morozov +1

We claim that some non-trivial theta-function identities at higher genus can stand behind the Poisson commutativity of the Hamiltonians of elliptic integrable systems, which are ma…

Spectral dualities in XXZ spin chains and five dimensional gauge theories

A. Mironov, A. Morozov, B. Runov +2

Motivated by recent progress in the study of supersymmetric gauge theories we propose a very compact formulation of spectral duality between XXZ spin chains. The action of the quan…

Differential hierarchy and additional grading of knot polynomials

S. Arthamonov, A. Mironov, A. Morozov

Colored knot polynomials possess a peculiar Z-expansion in certain combinations of differentials, which depends on the representation. The coefficients of this expansion are functi…

On the uniqueness of higher-spin symmetries in AdS and CFT

Nicolas Boulanger, Dmitry Ponomarev, E. D. Skvortsov +1

We study the uniqueness of higher-spin algebras which are at the core of higher-spin theories in AdS and of CFTs with exact higher-spin symmetry, i.e. conserved tensors of rank gre…

On genus expansion of knot polynomials and hidden structure of Hurwitz tau-functions

A. Mironov, A. Morozov, A. Sleptsov

In the genus expansion of the HOMFLY polynomials their representation dependence is naturally captured by symmetric group characters. This immediately implies that the Ooguri-Vafa…
