Large N WZW Field Theory Of N=2 Strings
We explore the quantum properties of self-dual gravity formulated as a large
two-dimensional WZW sigma model. Using a non-trivial classical background,
we show that a space-time is generated. The theory contains an infinite
series of higher point vertices. At tree level we show that, in spite of the
presence of higher than cubic vertices, the on-shell 4 and higher point
functions vanish, indicating that this model is related with the field theory
of closed N=2 strings. We examine the one-loop on-shell 3-point amplitude and
show that it is ultra-violet finite.Comment: This is the final version. By editorial mistake at Phys.Lett.B an

Lumps and P-branes in Open String Field Theory
We describe numerical methods for constructing lump solutions in open string
field theory. According to Sen, these lumps represent lower dimensional
Dp-Branes and numerical evaluation of their energy can be compared with the
expected value for the tension. We take particular care of all higher
derivative terms inherent in Witten's version of open string field theory. The
importance of these terms for off shell phenomena is argued in the text.
Detailed numerical calculations done for the case of general brane show
very good agreement with Sen's conjectured value. This gives credence to the
conjecture itself and establishes further the usefulness of Witten's version of
SFT .Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure, 1 table; v2: small typos correcte
Hidden classical symmetry in quantum spaces at roots of unity : From q-sphere to fuzzy sphere

In particular we consider the quotient at roots of unity, and find its relations with the fuzzy sphere with manifest classical SU(2) symmetry. Deformation maps between classical and quantum symmetry, the module structure of quantum spheres and the structure of indecomposable representations of at roots of unity conspire in an interesting way to allow the relation between manifestly symmetric spheres and manifestly U(SU(2)) symmetric spheres. The relation suggests that a subset of field theory actions on the q-sphere are equivalent to actions on the fuzzy sphere. The results here are compatible with the proposal that quantum spheres at roots of unity appear as effective geometries which account for finite N effects in the ADS/CFT correspondence

Effect of maleic anhydride–aniline derivative buffer layer on the properties of flexible substrate heterostructures: Indium tin oxide/nucleic acid base/metal
This paper presents some investigations on the properties of guanine (G) and cytosine (C) based heterostructures deposited on flexible substrates. The effects of two types of maleic anhydride–aniline derivatives (maleic anhydride-cyano aniline or maleic anhydride-2,4 dinitroaniline) buffer layer, deposited between indium tin oxide and (G) or (C) layer, on the optical and electrical properties of the heterostructures have been identified.The heterostructures containing a film of maleic anhydride-2,4 dinitroaniline have shown a good transparency and low photoluminescence in visible range. This buffer layer has determined an increase in the conductance only in the heterostructures based on (G) and (C) deposited on biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate substrate
Worldsheet correlators in AdS(3)/CFT(2)
The AdS_3/CFT_2 correspondence is checked beyond the supergravity
approximation by comparing correlation functions. To this end we calculate 2-
and 3-point functions on the sphere of certain chiral primary operators for
strings on AdS_3 x S^3 x T^4. These results are then compared with the
corresponding amplitudes in the dual 2-dimensional conformal field theory. In
the limit of small string coupling, where the sphere diagrams dominate the
string perturbation series, beautiful agreement is found.Comment: 23 page
Evaluation Of Glueball Masses From Supergravity
In the framework of the conjectured duality relation between large gauge
theory and supergravity the spectra of masses in large gauge theory can be
determined by solving certain eigenvalue problems in supergravity. In this
paper we study the eigenmass problem given by Witten as a possible
approximation for masses in QCD without supersymmetry. We place a particular
emphasis on the treatment of the horizon and related boundary conditions. We
construct exact expressions for the analytic expansions of the wave functions
both at the horizon and at infinity and show that requiring smoothness at the
horizon and normalizability gives a well defined eigenvalue problem. We show
for example that there are no smooth solutions with vanishing derivative at the
horizon. The mass eigenvalues up to corresponding to smooth
normalizable wave functions are presented. We comment on the relation of our
work with the results found in a recent paper by Cs\'aki et al.,
hep-th/9806021, which addresses the same problem.Comment: 20 pages,Latex,3 figs,psfig.tex, added refs., minor change
