Difficulties of an Infrared Extension of Differential Renormalization
We investigate the possibility of generalizing differential renormalization
of D.Z.Freedman, K.Johnson and J.I.Latorre in an invariant fashion to theories
with infrared divergencies via an infrared operation.
Two-dimensional models and the four-dimensional theory
diagrams with exceptional momenta are used as examples, while dimensional
renormalization serves as a test scheme for comparison. We write the basic
differential identities of the method simultaneously in co-ordinate and
momentum space, introducing two scales which remove ultraviolet and infrared
singularities. The consistent set of Fourier-transformation formulae is
derived. However, the values for tadpole-type Feynman integrals in higher
orders of perturbation theory prove to be ambiguous, depending on the order of
evaluation of the subgraphs. In two dimensions, even earlier than this
ambiguity manifests itself, renormalization-group calculations based on
infrared extension of differential renormalization lead to incorrect results.
We conclude that the extended differential renormalization procedure does not
perform the infrared operation in a self-consistent way, as the
original recipe does the ultraviolet operation.Comment: (minor changes have been made to make clear that no infrared problems
occur in the original ultraviolet procedure of [1]; subsection 2.1 has been
added to outline the ideas a simple example), 26 pages, LaTeX, JINR preprint

A Minimal Dissipation Type-Based Classification in Irreversible Thermodynamics and Microeconomics
We formulate the problem of finding classes of kinetic dependencies in irreversible thermodynamic and microeconomic systems for which minimal dissipation processes belong to the same type. We show that this problem is an inverse optimal control problem and solve it. The commonality of this problem in irreversible thermodynamics and microeconomics is emphasized.
Pairwise Comparisons in a Logic-Based Recommender System
In this paper, we propose a recommender system using pair-
wise comparisons as the main source of information in the user pref-
erence elicitation process. We use a logic-based approach implemented
in APARELL, an inductive learner modelling the user's preferences in
description logic. A within-subject preliminary user study with a large
dataset from a real-world domain (car retail) was conducted to compare
pairwise comparison interface to one using standard product list search.
The results show the users' preference for the interface based on pairwise
comparisons, which has proven signifcantly better in a number of ways
Spiky Strings and Giant Holes
We analyse semiclassical strings in AdS in the limit of one large spin. In
this limit, classical string dynamics is described by a finite number of
collective coordinates corresponding to spikes or cusps of the string. The
semiclassical spectrum consists of two branches of excitations corresponding to
"large" and "small" spikes respectively. We propose that these states are dual
to the excitations known as large and small holes in the spin chain description
of N=4 SUSY Yang-Mills. The dynamics of large spikes in classical string theory
can be mapped to that of a classical spin chain of fixed length. In turn, small
spikes correspond to classical solitons propagating on the background formed by
the large spikes. We derive the dispersion relation for these excitations
directly in the finite gap formalism.Comment: 36 pages, 9 figure
Ultraviolet Fixed Points in Gauge and SUSY Field Theories in Extra Dimensions
We consider gauge field theories in following the Wilson RG approach
and show that they possess the ultraviolet fixed points where the gauge
coupling is dimensionless in any space-time dimension. At the fixed point the
anomalous dimensions of the field and vertex operators are known exactly. These
fixed points are nonperturbative and correspond to conformal invariant
theories. The same phenomenon also happens in supersymmetric theories with the
Yukawa type interactions.Comment: LaTeX, 10pp. v2: Comments and references adde
The Dressing Factor and Crossing Equations
We utilize the DHM integral representation for the BES dressing factor of the
world-sheet S-matrix of the AdS_5xS^5 light-cone string theory, and the
crossing equations to fix the principal branch of the dressing factor on the
rapidity torus. The results obtained are further used, in conjunction with the
fusion procedure, to determine the bound state dressing factor of the mirror
theory. We convincingly demonstrate that the mirror bound state S-matrix found
in this way does not depend on the internal structure of a bound state solution
employed in the fusion procedure. This welcome feature is in perfect parallel
to string theory, where the corresponding bound state S-matrix has no bearing
on bound state constituent particles as well. The mirror bound state S-matrix
we found provides the final missing piece in setting up the TBA equations for
the AdS_5xS^5 mirror theory.Comment: LaTex, 48 pages, 10 figures; v2: a new section added where the
dressing factor of the mirror theory is found; v3: formula (6.12) is
corrected, a new figure is added, accepted for publication in J.Phys.
Algebraic Curve for the SO(6) sector of AdS/CFT
We construct the general algebraic curve of degree four solving the classical sigma model on RxS5. Up to two loops it coincides with the algebraic curve for the dual sector of scalar operators in N=4 SYM, also constructed here. We explicitly reproduce some particular solutions
