Physical simulation of wind pressure on building models at various arrangement and airflow conditions
The results of modeling and distribution of the pressure coefficient on the faces of the faces of the model of a high-rise building with a relative height of H/a = 3 and 6 are obtained under the influence of vortex flows created by an obstacle with similar geometric parameters with its lateral displacement from the longitudinal axis of the channel. The accepted range of transverse displacements is L2/a = 0.5; 1; 1.5; 2. In the range of studies, the airflow angle of 0 degrees was adopted with the maximum Reynolds number (Re) = 4.25´104. The distances between the models in the wake correspond to the calibers L1/a = 1.5; 3 and 6. A series of experiments was carried out on the basis of the theory of modeling. The experiments are based on the modeling of the model buildings under study on the basis of the similarity theory. Systematic data are obtained on the distribution of the pressure coefficients Cp on the faces of the model, depending on its location in the track of the upstream model with a change in the distance between them in the transverse direction relative to the direction of the air flow
Three Spin Spiky Strings in beta-deformed Background
We study rigidly rotating strings in -deformed
background with one spin along AdS and two angular momenta along . We
find the spiky string solutions and present the dispersion relation among
various charges in this background. We further generalize the result to the
case of four angular momenta along .Comment: 12 pages, minor corrections, added references, to appear in JHE
Spiky Strings on I-brane
We study rigidly rotating strings in the near horizon geometry of the 1+1
dimensional intersection of two orthogonal stacks of NS5-branes, the so called
I-brane background. We solve the equations of motion of the fundamental string
action in the presence of two form NS-NS fluxes that the I-brane background
supports and write down general form of conserved quantities. We further find
out two limiting cases corresponding to giant magnon and single spike like
strings in various parameter space of solutions.Comment: 17 pages, major restructuring of text, added a referenc
Spiky strings and single trace operators in gauge theories
We consider single trace operators of the form O_{m_1 ... m_n} = tr D_+^{m_1}
F ... D_+^{m_n} F which are common to all gauge theories. We argue that, when
all m_i are equal and large, they have a dual description as strings with
cusps, or spikes, one for each field F. In the case of N=4 SYM, we compute the
energy as a function of angular momentum by finding the corresponding solutions
in AdS_5 and compare with a 1-loop calculation of the anomalous dimension. As
in the case of two spikes (twist two operators), there is agreement in the
functional form but not in the coupling constant dependence. After that, we
analyze the system in more detail and find an effective classical mechanics
describing the motion of the spikes. In the appropriate limit, it is the same
(up to the coupling constant dependence) as the coherent state description of
linear combinations of the operators O_{m_1 ... m_n} such that all m_i are
equal on average. This agreement provides a map between the operators in the
boundary and the position of the spikes in the bulk. We further suggest that
moving the spikes in other directions should describe operators with
derivatives other than D_+ indicating that these ideas are quite generic and
should help in unraveling the string description of the large-N limit of gauge
theories.Comment: 23 pages, 5 figures. v2: References and comments adde
String/-brane Duality and Duality as Symmetries of Actions
We realize the string/-brane duality on the action level between the
-compactified heterotic string effective action and the -
brane effective action in dimensions by managing a Lagrange multiplier
field. A dual dictionary is composed to be available for the translation
between the elementary or solitonic solutions of the dual pair of actions. In
the same way the duality is also reconstructed on the action level as a
double dualization for the -compactified heterotic string effective
action.Comment: 9 pages, latex, no figure
Neumann and Neumann-Rosochatius integrable systems from membranes on AdS_4xS^7
It is known that large class of classical string solutions in the type IIB
AdS_5xS^5 background is related to the Neumann and Neumann-Rosochatius
integrable systems, including spiky strings and giant magnons. It is also
interesting if these integrable systems can be associated with some membrane
configurations in M-theory. We show here that this is indeed the case by
presenting explicitly several types of membrane embedding in AdS_4xS^7 with the
searched properties.Comment: LaTeX, 17 pages, no figures;v2: comments and citations added;v3: 20

Infinite spin limit of semiclassical string states
Motivated by recent works of Hofman and Maldacena and Dorey we consider a
special infinite spin limit of semiclassical spinning string states in AdS5 x
S5. We discuss examples of known folded and circular 2-spin string solutions
and demonstrate explicitly that the 1-loop superstring correction to the
classical expression for the energy vanishes in the limit when one of the spins
is much larger that the other. We also give a general discussion of this limit
at the level of integral equations describing finite gap solutions of the
string sigma model and argue that the corresponding asymptotic form of the
string and gauge Bethe equations is the same.Comment: 38 pages, 3 figures; v2: comments on derivation of bound states of
magnons from discrete Bethe equations added in section 4 and appendix C,

A New Derivation of the Picard-Fuchs Equations for Effective Super Yang-Mills Theories
A new method to obtain the Picard-Fuchs equations of effective
supersymmetric gauge theories in 4 dimensions is developed. It includes both
pure super Yang-Mills and supersymmetric gauge theories with massless matter
hypermultiplets. It applies to all classical gauge groups, and directly
produces a decoupled set of second-order, partial differential equations
satisfied by the period integrals of the Seiberg-Witten differential along the
1-cycles of the algebraic curves describing the vacuum structure of the
corresponding theory.Comment: Latex version, 43 pages, a few cosmetic changes and some references

Generalized pulsating strings
In this paper we consider new solutions for pulsating strings. For this
purpose we use tha idea of the generalized ansatz for folded and circular
strings in hep-th/0311004. We find the solutions to the resulting
Neumann-Rosochatius integrable system and the corrections to the energy. To do
that we use the approach developed by Minahan in hep-th/0209047 and find that
the corrections are quite different from those obtained in that paper and
hep-th/0310188. We conclude with comments on our solutions and obtained
corrections to the energy, expanded to the leading order in lambda.Comment: v.2 references added, citations corrected, 18 page
Circular and Folded Multi-Spin Strings in Spin Chain Sigma Models
From the SU(2) spin chain sigma model at the one-loop and two-loop orders we
recover the classical circular string solution with two S^5 spins (J_1, J_2) in
the AdS_5 x S^5 string theory. In the SL(2) sector of the one-loop spin chain
sigma model we explicitly construct a solution which corresponds to the folded
string solution with one AdS_5 spin S and one S^5 spin J. In the one-loop
general sigma model we demonstrate that there exists a solution which
reproduces the energy of the circular constant-radii string solution with three
spins (S_1, S_2, J).Comment: 16 pages, LaTeX, no figure
