String Field Theory from IIB Matrix Model

We derive Schwinger-Dyson equations for the Wilson loops of a type IIB matrix model. Superstring coordinates are introduced through the construction of the loop space. We show that the continuum limit of the loop equation reproduces the light-cone superstring field theory of type IIB superstring in the large-N limit. We find that the interacting string theory can be obtained in the double scaling limit as it is expected.Comment: 21 pages, Latex, 1 figur

Hysteresis in Anti-Ferromagnetic Random-Field Ising Model at Zero Temperature

We study hysteresis in anti-ferromagnetic random-field Ising model at zero temperature. The external field is cycled adiabatically between -$\infty$ and $\infty$. Two different distributions of the random-field are considered, (i) a uniform distribution of width $2\Delta$ centered at the origin, and (ii) a Gaussian distribution with average value zero and standard deviation $\sigma$. In each case the hysteresis loop is determined exactly in one dimension and compared with numerical simulations of the model

Towards unified theory of 2d2d gravity

We introduce a new 1-matrix model with arbitrary potential and the matrix-valued background field. Its partition function is a $\tau$-function of KP-hierarchy, subjected to a kind of ${\cal L}_{-1}$-constraint. Moreover, partition function behaves smoothly in the limit of infinitely large matrices. If the potential is equal to $X^{K+1}$, this partition function becomes a $\tau$-function of $K$-reduced KP-hierarchy, obeying a set of ${\cal W} _K$-algebra constraints identical to those conjectured in \cite{FKN91} for double-scaling continuum limit of $(K-1)$-matrix model. In the case of $K=2$ the statement reduces to the early established \cite{MMM91b} relation between Kontsevich model and the ordinary $2d$ quantum gravity . Kontsevich model with generic potential may be considered as interpolation between all the models of $2d$ quantum gravity with $c<1$ preserving the property of integrability and the analogue of string equation.Comment: 67 pages (October 1991

Towards the Theory of Non--Abelian Tensor Fields I

We present a triangulation--independent area--ordering prescription which naturally generalizes the well known path ordering one. For such a prescription it is natural that the two--form ``connection'' should carry three ``color'' indices rather than two as it is in the case of the ordinary one--form gauge connection. To define the prescription in question we have to define how to {\it exponentiate} a matrix with three indices. The definition uses the fusion rule structure constants.Comment: 22 pages, 18 figure

On the validity of ADM formulation in 2D quantum gravity

We investigate 2d gravity quantized in the ADM formulation, where only the loop length $l(z)$ is retained as a dynamical variable of the gravitation, in order to get an intuitive physical insight of the theory. The effective action of $l(z)$ is calculated by adding scalar fields of conformal coupling, and the problems of the critical dimension and the time development of $l$ are addressed.Comment: 12 page

On Equivalence of Topological and Quantum 2d Gravity

We demonstrate the equivalence of Virasoro constraints imposed on continuum limit of partition function of Hermitean 1-matrix model and the Ward identities of Kontsevich's model. Since the first model describes ordinary $d = 2$ quantum gravity, while the second one is supposed to coincide with Witten's topological gravity, the result provides a strong implication that the two models are indeed the same.Comment: 14 pages (August 1991

Eigensystem and Full Character Formula of the W_{1+infinity} Algebra with c=1

By using the free field realizations, we analyze the representation theory of the W_{1+infinity} algebra with c=1. The eigenvectors for the Cartan subalgebra of W_{1+infinity} are parametrized by the Young diagrams, and explicitly written down by W_{1+infinity} generators. Moreover, their eigenvalues and full character formula are also obtained.Comment: 12 pages, YITP/K-1049, SULDP-1993-1, RIMS-959, Plain TEX, ( New references

Higher spin constraints and the super (W∞2⊕W1+∞2)( W_{\infty\over 2}\oplus W_{{1+\infty}\over 2}) algebra in the super eigenvalue model

We show that the partition function of the super eigenvalue model satisfies an infinite set of constraints with even spins $s=4,6,\cdots,\infty$. These constraints are associated with half of the bosonic generators of the super $\left( W_{\infty \over 2}\oplus W_{{1+\infty}\over 2}\right)$ algebra. The simplest constraint $(s=4)$ is shown to be reducible to the super Virasoro constraints, previously used to construct the model. All results hold for finite $N$.Comment: 14 pages, latex, no figure

Optical detection of spin transport in non-magnetic metals

We determine the dynamic magnetization induced in non-magnetic metal wedges composed of silver, copper and platinum by means of Brillouin light scattering (BLS) microscopy. The magnetization is transferred from a ferromagnetic Ni80Fe20 layer to the metal wedge via the spin pumping effect. The spin pumping efficiency can be controlled by adding an insulating but transparent interlayer between the magnetic and non-magnetic layer. By comparing the experimental results to a dynamical macroscopic spin-transport model we determine the transverse relaxation time of the pumped spin current which is much smaller than the longitudinal relaxation time

Remarks on hard Lefschetz conjectures on Chow groups

We propose two conjectures of Hard Lefschetz type on Chow groups and prove them for some special cases. For abelian varieties, we shall show they are equivalent to well-known conjectures of Beauville and Murre.Comment: to appear in Sciences in China, Ser. A Mathematic
