Perturbative classical conformal blocks as Steiner trees on the hyperbolic disk

K. B. Alkalaev, Mikhail Pavlov

We consider the Steiner tree problem in hyperbolic geometry in the context of the AdS/CFT duality between large- conformal blocks on the boundary and particle motions in the bul…

Open minimal strings and open Gelfand-Dickey hierarchies

Konstantin Aleshkin, Vladimir Belavin

We study the connection between minimal Liouville string theory and generalized open KdV hierarchies. We are interested in generalizing Douglas string equation formalism to the ope…

Kerov functions revisited

A. Mironov, A. Morozov

The Schur functions play a crucial role in the modern description of HOMFLY polynomials for knots and of topological vertices in DIM-based network theories, which could merge into…

Light-Front Bootstrap for Chern-Simons Matter Theories

Evgeny D. Skvortsov

We propose a new approach to solve conformal field theories and apply it to Chern-Simons Matter theories and three-dimensional bosonization duality. All three-point correlation fun…

Scattering amplitudes as multi-particle higher-spin charges in the correspondence space

Y. O. Goncharov, M. A. Vasiliev

Following the proposal of arXiv:1312.6673, multi-particle scattering amplitudes are represented as conserved higher-spin charges. The advantage of such reformulation is that multi-…

On the Algebraic Approach to Solvable Lattice Models

Vladimir Belavin, Doron Gepner

We treat here interaction round the face (IRF) solvable lattice models. We study the algebraic structures underlining such models. For the three block case, we show that the Yang B…

The MacMahon R-matrix

H. Awata, H. Kanno, A. Mironov +3

We introduce an -matrix acting on the tensor product of MacMahon representations of Ding-Iohara-Miki (DIM) algebra . This -matri…

Long-range interactions of kinks

Ivan C. Christov, Robert J. Decker, A. Demirkaya +3

We present a computational analysis of the long-range interactions of solitary waves in higher-order field theories. Our vehicle of choice is the field theory, although we ex…

Quantum Theory in AdS and its CFT Dual

Igor Bertan, Ivo Sachs, Evgeny D. Skvortsov

We compute the two- and four-point holographic correlation functions up to the second order in the coupling constant for a scalar theory in four-dimensional Euclidean anti-de…

From Topological to Quantum Entanglement

D. Melnikov, A. Mironov, S. Mironov +2

Entanglement is a special feature of the quantum world that reflects the existence of subtle, often non-local, correlations between local degrees of freedom. In topological theorie…

Algebras from Slightly Broken Higher Spin Symmetries

Alexey Sharapov, Evgeny D. Skvortsov

We define a class of -algebras that are obtained by deformations of higher spin symmetries. While higher spin symmetries of a free CFT form an associative algebra, the sl…

Cubic interaction vertices for massive/massless continuous-spin fields and arbitrary spin fields

R. R. Metsaev

We use light-cone gauge formalism to study interacting massive and massless continuous-spin fields and finite component arbitrary spin fields propagating in the flat space. Cubic i…

From Kronecker to tableau pseudo-characters in tensor models

H. Itoyama, A. Mironov, A. Morozov

We present a brief summary of the recent discovery of direct tensorial analogue of characters. We distinguish three degrees of generalization: (1) -number Kronecker characters m…

Unified formulation for helicity and continuous spin fermionic fields

K. B. Alkalaev, Alexander Chekmenev, Maxim Grigoriev

We propose a unified BRST formulation of general massless fermionic fields of arbitrary mixed-symmetry type in -dimensional Minkowski space. Depending on the value of the real p…

General conversion method for constrained systems

Igor A. Batalin, Peter M. Lavrov

We reformulate in a systematic way the conversional approach in its most general and compact form. We present a new definition of generalized Dirac bracket directly in terms of the…

Multiplicative renormalization of Yang-Mills theories in the background-field formalism

Igor A. Batalin, Peter M. Lavrov, Igor V. Tyutin

In the paper, within the background-field method, the structure of renormalizations is studied as for Yang-Mills fields interacting with a multiplet of spinor fields. By extending…

Sum rules for characters from character-preservation property of matrix models

A. Mironov, A. Morozov

One of the main features of eigenvalue matrix models is that the averages of characters are again characters, what can be considered as a far-going generalization of the Fourier tr…
