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

Representation Theory of The W1+∞W_{1+\infty} Algebra

We review the recent development in the representation theory of the $W_{1+\infty}$ algebra. The topics that we concern are, Quasifinite representation, Free field realizations, (Super) Matrix Generalization, Structure of subalgebras such as $W_\infty$ algebra, Determinant formula, Character formula.

Solution of the dispersionless Hirota equations

The dispersionless differential Fay identity is shown to be equivalent to a kernel expansion providing a universal algebraic characterization and solution of the dispersionless Hirota equations. Some calculations based on D-bar data of the action are also indicated.Comment: Late

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

Do we need the W(n>3)W^{(n>3)} constraints to solve the (1,q)(1,q) models coupled to 2D gravity?

We prove that all the correlation functions in the $(1,q)$ models are calculable using only the Virasoro and the $W^{(3)}$ constraints. This result is based on the invariance of correlators with respect to an interchange of the order of the operators they contain. In terms of the topological recursion relations, it means that only two and three contacts and the corresponding degenerations of the underlying surfaces are relevant. An algorithm to compute correlators for any $q$ and at any genus is presented and demonstrated through some examples. On route to these results, some interesting polynomial identities, which are generalizations of Abel's identity, were discovered. }Comment: 26 page
