AbstractWe introduce a new approach to find the Tomita–Takesaki modular flow for multi-component regions in general chiral conformal field theory. Our method is based on locality and analyticity of primary fields as well as the so-called Kubo–Martin–Schwinger (KMS) condition. These features can be used to transform the problem to a Riemann–Hilbert problem on a covering of the complex plane cut along the regions, which is equivalent to an integral equation for the matrix elements of the modular Hamiltonian. Examples are considered.

The coincidence of two different presentations of Witten 3-manifold invariants is proved. One of them, invented by Reshetikhin and Turaev, is based on the surgery presentation a of 3-manifold and the representation theory of quantum groups; another one, invented by Kohno and Crane and, in slightly different language by Kontsevich, is based on a Heegaard decomposition of a 3-manifold and representations of the Teichmuller group, arising in conformal field theory. The explicit formula for the matrix elements of generators of the Teichmuller group in the space of conformal blocks in the SU(2) k, WZNW-model is given,using the Jones polynomial of certain links.

Let Γ be a piecewise smooth contour in ℂ, which could be unbounded and may have points of self-intersection. Let V(z, N) be a 2 × 2 matrix-valued function defined on Γ, which depends on a parameter N. Consider a Riemann–Hilbert problem for a matrix-valued analytic function R(z, N) that satisfies a jump condition on the contour Γ with the jump matrix V(z, N). Assume that V(z, N) has an asymptotic expansion, as N → ∞, on Γ. An elementary proof is given for the existence of a similar type of asymptotic expansion for the matrix solution R(z, N), as n → ∞, for z ∈ ℂ\Γ. Our method makes use of only complex analysis.

ABSTRACTThe Yang-Feldman formalism vising the Feynman-like Green's functions is set up. The corresponding free fields have non-trivial commutation relations and contain information about the scattering. S-matrix elements are simply the matrix elements of anti-normal products of the field φF′(x). These are evaluated, and they give directly expressions used in the theory of causality and dispersion relations. It is possible to formulate field theory in a form in which the fields obey free field equations and the effects of interaction are contained in their commutation relations.

A review of the main results recently obtained in the study of two-dimensional quantum gravity is offered. The analysis of two-dimensional quantum gravity by the methods of conformal field theory is briefly described. Then the treatment of quantum gravity in terms of matrix models is explained, including the notions of continuum limit, planar approximation, and orthogonal polynomials. Correlation fonctions are also treated, as well as phases of the matrix models.

Nasser in 2005 gives the first full method for solving the Riemann-Hilbert problem (briefly the RH problem) for smooth arbitrary simply connected region for general indices via boundary integral equation. However, his treatment of RH problem does not include regions with corners. Later, Ismail in 2007 provides a numerical solution of the interior RH problem on region with corners via Nasser’s method together with Swarztrauber’s approach, but Ismail does not develop any integral equation related to exterior RH problem on region with corners. In this paper, we introduce a new integral equation related to the exterior RH problem in a simply connected region bounded by curves having a finite number of corners in the complex plane. We obtain a new integral equation that adopts Ismail’s method which does not involve conformal mapping. This result is a generalization of the integral equation developed by Nasser for the exterior RH problem on smooth region. The solvability of the integral equation in accordance with the Fredholm alternative theorem is presented. The proof of the equivalence of our integral equation to the RH problem is also provided.

Intermediate field theory is used to obtain the matrix elements which determine the action of a homogeneous magnetic field on the energy levels of triplet states of asymmetric rotor molecules. Applications of these formulas are discussed (i) in relation to the Zeeman effect on the rotational fine structure of triplet–singlet transitions, where conditions are identified under which individual lines remain unbroadened by the field, and (ii) in connection with the magnetic tuning of singlet–triplet resonance.

We analytically investigate a debonded arc-shaped anticrack lying on the interface between a circular elastic inhomogeneity and an infinite matrix when subjected to uniform remote in-plane stresses. One side of the anticrack is perfectly bonded to either the inhomogeneity or the matrix, whereas its other side has become fully debonded. Through the introduction of two sectionally holomorphic functions, the problem is reduced to a non-homogeneous Riemann–Hilbert problem of vector form that can be solved through a decoupling procedure and through evaluation of the Cauchy integrals. Solutions to both the non-degenerate case of distinct eigenvalues and the degenerate case of identical eigenvalues are derived.
