Dimensional Version

We define a lattice statistical model on a triangulated manifold in four dimensions associated to a group G. When G= SU (2), the statistical weight is constructed from the 15j-symbol as well as the 6j-symbol for recombination of angular momenta, and the model may be regarded as the four-dimensional version of the Ponzano-Regge model. We show that the partition function of the model is invariant under the Alexander moves of the simplicial complex, thus it depends only on the piecewise linear topology of the manifold. For an orientable manifold, the model is related to the so-called BF model. The q-analog of the model is also constructed, and it is argued that its partition function is invariant under the Alexander moves. It is discussed how to realize the 't Hooft operator in these models associated to a closed surface in four dimensions as well as the Wilson operator associated to a closed loop. Correlation functions of these operators in the q-deformed version of the model would define a new type of invariants of knots and links in four dimensions.

The Right

The relativistic symmetric tensor fields are, in four dimensions, the right candidates to describe Higher Spin Fields. Their highest spin content is isolated with the aid of covariant conditions, discussed within a group theory framework, in which auxiliary fields remove the lower intrinsic angular momenta sectors. These conditions are embedded within a Lagrangian Quantum Field theory which describes an Higher Spin Field interacting with a Classical background. The model is invariant under a (B.R.S.) symmetric unconstrained tensor extension of the reparametrization symmetry, which include the Fang–Fronsdal algebra in a well defined limit. However, the symmetry setting reveals that the compensator field, which restore the Fang–Fronsdal symmetry of the free equations of motion, is in the existing in the framework and has a relevant geometrical meaning. The Ward identities coming from this symmetry are discussed. Our constraints give the result that the space of the invariant observables is restricted to the ones constructed with the Highest Spin Field content. The quantum extension of the symmetry reveals that no new anomaly is present. The role of the compensator field in this result is fundamental.

Abstract We review the problem of Bogomol’nyi–Prasad–Sommerfield (BPS) state counting described by the generalized quiver matrix model of Atiyah–Drinfield–Hitchin–Manin type. In four dimensions the generating function of the counting gives the Nekrasov partition function, and we obtain a generalization in higher dimensions. By the localization theorem, the partition function is given by the sum of contributions from the fixed points of the torus action, which are labeled by partitions, plane partitions and solid partitions. The measure or the Boltzmann weight of the path integral can take the form of the plethystic exponential. Remarkably, after integration the partition function or the vacuum expectation value is again expressed in plethystic form. We regard it as a characteristic property of the BPS state counting problem, which is closely related to the integrability.

We discuss the recently proposed logarithmic violation of scaling for c = 1 − 6(n − 1)2/n theories in the light of lattice models. We study for this purpose the Q state Potts model in its antiferromagnetic regime eK − 1 = −Q1/2, coupled to gravity. Setting Q1/2 = 2 cos π/t, this model is known to have a generic central charge c = 1 − 6(t − 1)2/t. Summing over all possible planar graphs allows us to make connection with Kostov's solution of IRF models, and to calculate the genus zero properties along the critical line. Except for n = 1, 2 we do not get indications of logarithmic violations. The apparent regularity of the thermodynamic properties (γ str = −(n − 1) = integer ) is explained by a discontinuity of the free energy of the Potts model when Q crosses the Beraha numbers [Formula: see text], n ≥ 3 in the antiferromagnetic region. Such behavior was recently observed for some regular lattices. The logarithmic terms for n = 2, c = −2 appear simply because a derivative with respect to Q has to be taken to define a non-vanishing partition function. Only the n = 1, c = 1 logarithmic terms seem to have a non-trivial origin.

Abstract We establish an explicit correspondence of Einstein gravity on the squashed spheres that are the U(1) bundles over ℂℙm to the Kaluza-Klein AdS gravity on the tori. This allows us to map the Ricci-flat Kerr metrics in odd dimensions with all equal angular momenta to charged Kaluza-Klein AdS black holes that can be lifted to become singly rotating M-branes and D3-branes. Furthermore, we find maps between Ricci-flat gravitational instantons to the AdS domain walls. In particular the supersymmetric bolt instantons correspond to domain walls that can be interpreted as distributed M-branes and D3-branes, whilst the non-supersymmetric Taub-NUT solutions yield new domain walls that can be lifted to become solutions in M-theory or type IIB supergravity. The correspondence also inspires us to obtain a new superpotential in the Kaluza-Klein AdS gravity in four dimensions.

We find a Nekrasov-type expression for the Seiberg–Witten prepotential for the six-dimensional non-critical E8 string theory toroidally compactified down to four dimensions. The prepotential represents the BPS partition function of the E8 strings wound around one of the circles of the toroidal compactification with general winding numbers and momenta. We show that our expression exhibits expected modular properties. In particular, we prove that it obeys the modular anomaly equation known to be satisfied by the prepotential.

Abstract We construct an integrable colored six-vertex model whose partition function is a double Grothendieck polynomial. This gives an integrable systems interpretation of bumpless pipe dreams and recent results of Weigandt relating double Grothendieck polynomias with bumpless pipe dreams. For vexillary permutations, we then construct a new model that we call the semidual version model. We use our semidual model and the five-vertex model of Motegi and Sakai to give a new proof that double Grothendieck polynomials for vexillary permutations are equal to flagged factorial Grothendieck polynomials. Taking the stable limit of double Grothendieck polynomials, we obtain a new proof that the stable limit is a factorial Grothendieck polynomial as defined by McNamara. The states of our semidual model naturally correspond to families of nonintersecting lattice paths, where we can then use the Lindström–Gessel–Viennot lemma to give a determinant formula for double Schubert polynomials corresponding to vexillary permutations.
