چکیده
We study how the solution of the two-dimensional Dirichlet boundary problem for smooth simply connected domains depends upon variations of the data of the problem. We show that the Hadamard formula for the variation of the Dirichlet Green function under deformations of the domain reveals an integrable structure. The independent variables corresponding to the infinite set of commuting flows are identified with harmonic moments of the domain. The solution to the Dirichlet boundary problem is expressed through the tau-function of the dispersionless Toda hierarchy. We also discuss a degenerate case of the Dirichlet problem on the plane with a gap. In this case the tau-function is identical to the partition function of the planar large N limit of the Hermitean one-matrix model.

We consider the CFT of a free boson compactified on a circle, such that the compactification radius R2 is an irrational multiple of R2 selfdual. Apart from the standard Dirichlet and Neumann boundary states, Friedan suggested [1] that an additional 1-parameter family of boundary states exists. These states break U(1) symmetry of the theory, but still preserve conformal invariance. In this paper...

We show that the continuum limit of the integrable XYZ spin-1/2 chain on a half-line gives rise to the boundary sine-Gordon theory using the perturbation method. PACS numbers: 05.50.+q, 11.10.Kk, 75.10.Jm

In this work we will present a method to employ a duality mechanism via introduction of gauge condensates on fully quantized topological Schwarz type actions. The restrictions in implementing this equivalence at quantum level is discussed and, some three-dimensional examples are presented.

We study finite energy static solutions to a global symmetry breaking model in 3 + 1 dimensions described by an isovector scalar field. The basic features of two different types of configurations are discussed, one of them corresponding to axially symmetric multisolitons with topological charge n, and the other one to unstable soliton–antisoliton pairs with zero topological charge.
