Chern-Simons Improved Hamiltonians for Strings in Three Space Dimensions
Ivan Gordeli, Dmitry Melnikov, Antti Niemi +1
The Frenet equation governs the extrinsic geometry of a string in three-dimensional ambient space in terms of the curvature and torsion, which are both scalar functions under strin…
Knot invariants from Virasoro related representation and pretzel knots
D. Galakhov, D. Melnikov, A. Mironov +1
We remind the method to calculate colored Jones polynomials for the plat representations of knot diagrams from the knowledge of modular transformation (monodromies) of Virasoro con…
Holographic Baryons and Instanton Crystals
Vadim Kaplunovsky, Dmitry Melnikov, Jacob Sonnenschein
In a wide class of holographic models, like the one proposed by Sakai and Sugimoto, baryons can be approximated by instantons of non-abelian gauge fields that live on the world-vol…
