The p-Laplace equation in domains with multiple crack section via pencil operators

The p-Laplace equation \n \cdot (|\n u|^n \n u)=0 \whereA n>0, in a bounded domain \O \subset \re^2, with inhomogeneous Dirichlet conditions on the smooth boundary \p \O is considered. In addition, there is a finite collection of curves \Gamma = \Gamma_1\cup...\cup\Gamma_m \subset \O, \quad \{on which we assume homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions} \quad u=0, modeling a multiple crack formation, focusing at the origin 0 \in \O. This makes the above quasilinear elliptic problem overdetermined. Possible types of the behaviour of solution $u(x,y)$ at the tip 0 of such admissible multiple cracks, being a "singularity" point, are described, on the basis of blow-up scaling techniques and a "nonlinear eigenvalue problem". Typical types of admissible cracks are shown to be governed by nodal sets of a countable family of nonlinear eigenfunctions, which are obtained via branching from harmonic polynomials that occur for $n=0$. Using a combination of analytic and numerical methods, saddle-node bifurcations in $n$ are shown to occur for those nonlinear eigenvalues/eigenfunctions.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1310.065

Holography, Pade Approximants and Deconstruction

We investigate the relation between holographic calculations in 5D and the Migdal approach to correlation functions in large N theories. The latter employs Pade approximation to extrapolate short distance correlation functions to large distances. We make the Migdal/5D relation more precise by quantifying the correspondence between Pade approximation and the background and boundary conditions in 5D. We also establish a connection between the Migdal approach and the models of deconstructed dimensions.Comment: 28 page

Form Factors for Integrable Lagrangian Field Theories, the Sinh-Gordon Model

Using Watson's and the recursive equations satisfied by matrix elements of local operators in two-dimensional integrable models, we compute the form factors of the elementary field $\phi(x)$ and the stress-energy tensor $T_{\mu\nu}(x)$ of Sinh-Gordon theory. Form factors of operators with higher spin or with different asymptotic behaviour can easily be deduced from them. The value of the correlation functions are saturated by the form factors with lowest number of particle terms. This is illustrated by an application of the form factors of the trace of $T_{\mu\nu}(x)$ to the sum rule of the $c$-theorem.Comment: 40 page
