چکیده
We prove that the cigar conformal field theory is dual to the Sine-Liouville model, as conjectured originally by Fateev, Zamolodchikov and Zamolodchikov. Since both models possess the same chiral algebra, our task is to show that correlations of all tachyon vertex operators agree. We accomplish this goal through an off-critical version of the geometric Langlands duality for sl(2). More explicitly, we combine the well-known self-duality of Liouville theory with an intriguing correspondence between the cigar and Liouville field theory. The latter is derived through a path integral treatment. After a very detailed discussion of genus zero amplitudes, we extend the duality to arbitrary closed surfaces. arXiv:0805.3931 KEK-TH-1253 DESY 08-062 e-mail: [email protected], [email protected]

6 M ay 2 00 8 Inverse Conjecture for the Gowers norm is false
Let p be a fixed prime number, and N be a large integer. The ’Inverse Conjecture for the Gowers norm’ states that if the ”d-th Gowers norm” of a function f : Fp → F is non-negligible, that is larger than a constant independent of N , then f can be non-trivially approximated by a degree d − 1 polynomial. The conjecture is known to hold for d = 2, 3 and for any prime p. In this paper we show the ...

Recently an action based on Lie 3-algebras was proposed to describe M2-branes. We study the case of infinite dimensional Lie 3-algebras based on the Nambu-Poisson structure of three dimensional manifolds. We show that the model contains self-dual 2-form gauge fields in 6 dimensions, and the result may be interpreted as the M5-brane world-volume action. 1 e-mail address: [email protected] 2 e...

A formulation of U(1) symmetric classical membrane motions (preserving one rotational symmetry) is given, and reductions to systems of ODE’s, as well as some ideas concerning singularities and integrability. Let me start by giving some particular example(s) of a 2-dimensonal (timelike, time periodic) extremal manifold M2 ⊂ R and 3-folds (singularities included) of vanishing mean curvature, in 4...

Vojta proved that (1.1) holds with 1 + ε replaced by 2 + ε. This conjecture was settled recently by K. Yamanoi [Y]. M. McQuillan later gave an algebro-geometric proof in [M]. However, we find his proof quite hard to follow. Inspired by his idea, we will give another proof of this conjecture and generalize it to the log case. Compared to his proof, ours is more elementary. It turns out natural t...

We summarise the status of an intriguing new duality between planar maximally helicity violating scattering amplitudes and light-like Wilson loops in N = 4 super Yang-Mills. In particular, we focus on the role played by (dual) conformal symmetry, which is made predictive by deriving anomalous conformal Ward identities for the Wilson loops. Assuming the duality, the conformal symmetry of the dua...
