Off-shell higher-spin fields in and external currents

N. G. Misuna

We construct an unfolded system for off-shell fields of arbitrary integer spin in 4d anti-de Sitter space. To this end we couple an on-shell system, encoding Fronsdal equations, to…

Elliptic matrix models

A. Mironov, A. Morozov

The Gaussian matrix model is known to deform to the -matrix model. We consider further deformation to the elliptic matrix model by properly deforming the Gaussian densit…

Superintegrability of Kontsevich matrix model

A. Mironov, A. Morozov

Many eigenvalue matrix models possess a peculiar basis of observables which have explicitly calculable averages. This explicit calculability is a stronger feature than ordinary int…

Presymplectic AKSZ formulation of Einstein gravity

Maxim Grigoriev, Alexei Kotov

Any local gauge theory can be represented as an AKSZ sigma model (upon parameterization if necessary). However, for non-topological models in dimension higher than 1 the target spa…

Sigma models with local couplings: a new integrability -- RG flow connection

Ben Hoare, Nat Levine, Arkady A. Tseytlin

We consider several classes of -models (on groups and symmetric spaces, -models, -models) with local couplings that may depend on the 2d coordinates, e.g. on time . We…

Elliptic lift of the Shiraishi function as a non-stationary double-elliptic function

H. Awata, H. Kanno, A. Mironov +1

As a development of arXiv:1912.12897, we note that the ordinary Shiraishi functions have an insufficient number of parameters to describe generic eigenfunctions of double elliptic…
