Effective Gravitational Field of Black Holes

The problem of interpretation of the \hbar^0-order part of radiative corrections to the effective gravitational field is considered. It is shown that variations of the Feynman parameter in gauge conditions fixing the general covariance are equivalent to spacetime diffeomorphisms. This result is proved for arbitrary gauge conditions at the one-loop order. It implies that the gravitational radiative corrections of the order \hbar^0 to the spacetime metric can be physically interpreted in a purely classical manner. As an example, the effective gravitational field of a black hole is calculated in the first post-Newtonian approximation, and the secular precession of a test particle orbit in this field is determined.Comment: 8 pages, LaTeX, 1 eps figure.

Two-logarithm matrix model with an external field

We investigate the two-logarithm matrix model with the potential $X\Lambda+\alpha\log(1+X)+\beta\log(1-X)$ related to an exactly solvable Kazakov-Migdal model. In the proper normalization, using Virasoro constraints, we prove the equivalence of this model and the Kontsevich-Penner matrix model and construct the 1/N-expansion solution of this model.Comment: 15pp., LaTeX, no figures, reference adde

Determination of the observation conditions of celestial bodies with the aid of the DISPO system

The interactive system for determining the observation conditions of celestial bodies is described. A system of programs was created containing a part of the DISPO Display Interative System of Orbit Planning. The system was used for calculating the observatiion characteristics of Halley's comet during its approach to Earth in 1985-86

Effective Action and Measure in Matrix Model of IIB Superstrings

We calculate an effective action and measure induced by the integration over the auxiliary field in the matrix model recently proposed to describe IIB superstrings. It is shown that the measure of integration over the auxiliary matrix is uniquely determined by locality and reparametrization invariance of the resulting effective action. The large--$N$ limit of the induced measure for string coordinates is discussed in detail. It is found to be ultralocal and, thus, possibly is irrelevant in the continuum limit. The model of the GKM type is considered in relation to the effective action problem.Comment: 9pp., Latex; v2: the discussion of the large N limit of the induced measure is substantially expande

The Deuteron Spin Structure Functions in the Bethe-Salpeter Approach and the Extraction of the Neutron Structure Function g1n(x)g_1^n(x)

The nuclear effects in the spin-dependent structure functions $g_1^D$ and $b_2^D$ are calculated in the relativistic approach based on the Bethe-Salpeter equation with a realistic meson-exchange potential. The results of calculations are compared with the non-relativistic calculations. The problem of extraction of the neutron spin structure function, $g_1^n$, from the deuteron data is discussed.Comment: (Talk given at the SPIN'94 International Symposium, September 15-22, 1994, Bloomington, Indiana), 6 pages, 5 figures, Preprint Alberta Thy 29-9

Complex Curve of the Two Matrix Model and its Tau-function

We study the hermitean and normal two matrix models in planar approximation for an arbitrary number of eigenvalue supports. Its planar graph interpretation is given. The study reveals a general structure of the underlying analytic complex curve, different from the hyperelliptic curve of the one matrix model. The matrix model quantities are expressed through the periods of meromorphic generating differential on this curve and the partition function of the multiple support solution, as a function of filling numbers and coefficients of the matrix potential, is shown to be the quasiclassical tau-function. The relation to softly broken N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories is discussed. A general class of solvable multimatrix models with tree-like interactions is considered.Comment: 36 pages, 10 figures, TeX; final version appeared in special issue of J.Phys.

Schwinger-Dyson equations in large-N quantum field theories and nonlinear random processes

We propose a stochastic method for solving Schwinger-Dyson equations in large-N quantum field theories. Expectation values of single-trace operators are sampled by stationary probability distributions of the so-called nonlinear random processes. The set of all histories of such processes corresponds to the set of all planar diagrams in the perturbative expansions of the expectation values of singlet operators. We illustrate the method on the examples of the matrix-valued scalar field theory and the Weingarten model of random planar surfaces on the lattice. For theories with compact field variables, such as sigma-models or non-Abelian lattice gauge theories, the method does not converge in the physically most interesting weak-coupling limit. In this case one can absorb the divergences into a self-consistent redefinition of expansion parameters. Stochastic solution of the self-consistency conditions can be implemented as a "memory" of the random process, so that some parameters of the process are estimated from its previous history. We illustrate this idea on the example of two-dimensional O(N) sigma-model. Extension to non-Abelian lattice gauge theories is discussed.Comment: 16 pages RevTeX, 14 figures; v2: Algorithm for the Weingarten model corrected; v3: published versio
