Vacuum instability in slowly varying electric fields

S. P. Gavrilov, D. M. Gitman

Nonperturbative methods have been well-developed for QED with the so-called t-electric potential steps. In this case a calculation technique is based on the existence of specific e…

Anomaly in RTT relation for DIM algebra and network matrix models

H. Awata, H. Kanno, A. Mironov +4

We discuss the recent proposal of arXiv:1608.05351 about generalization of the RTT relation to network matrix models. We show that the RTT relation in these models is modified by a…

Eigenvalue conjecture and colored Alexander polynomials

A. Mironov, A. Morozov

We connect two important conjectures in the theory of knot polynomials. The first one is the property Al_R(q) = Al_{[1]}(q^{|R|}) for all single hook Young diagrams R, which is kno…

Light-Front Higher-Spin Theories in Flat Space

Dmitry Ponomarev, E. D. Skvortsov

We revisit the problem of interactions of higher-spin fields in flat space. We argue that all no-go theorems can be avoided by the light-cone approach, which results in more intera…
