We discuss the K3 surface and the complex torus from the viewpoint of “mirror symmetry.” We calculate the periods of some K3 surface and construct a mirror map for the two-point correlation function and the prepotential. We find that there are no instanton corrections of the Yukawa coupling for K3 (also torus), which is expected from the viewpoint of algebraic geometry.

We consider an (N–2)-dimensional Calabi-Yau manifold which is defined as the zero locus of the polynomial of degree N (of the Fermat type) in CPN−1 and its mirror manifold. We introduce an (N–2)-point correlation function (generalized Yukawa coupling) and evaluate it both by solving the Picard-Fuchs equation for period integrals in the mirror manifold and by explicitly calculating the contribution of holomorphic maps of degree 1 to the Yukawa coupling in the Calabi-Yau manifold using the method of algebraic geometry. In enumerating the holomorphic curves in the general-dimensional Calabi-Yau manifolds, we extend the method of counting rational curves on the Calabi-Yau three-fold using the Shubert calculus on Gr (2, N). The agreement of the two calculations for the (N–2)-point function establishes “the mirror symmetry at the correlation function level” in the general-dimensional case.

Abstract We present a method for calculating event shapes in QCD based on correlation functions of conserved currents. The method has been previously applied to the maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, but we demonstrate that supersymmetry is not essential. As a proof of concept, we consider the simplest example of a charge-charge correlation at one loop (leading order). We compute the correlation function of four electromagnetic currents and explain in detail the steps needed to extract the event shape from it. The result is compared to the standard amplitude calculation. The explicit four-point correlation function may also be of interest for the CFT community.

The AGT-W relation is a conjecture of the nontrivial duality between 4-dim quiver gauge theory and 2-dim conformal field theory. We verify a part of this conjecture for all the cases of quiver gauge groups by studying on the property of 3-point correlation function of conformal theory. We also mention the relation to [Formula: see text] algebra as one of the promising direction towards the proof of the remaining part.

Abstract. Finding relevant microstructural parameters beyond the density is a longstanding problem which hinders the formulation of accurate parametrizations of physical properties of snow. Towards a remedy we address the effective thermal conductivity tensor of snow via known anisotropic, second-order bounds. The bound provides an explicit expression for the thermal conductivity and predicts the relevance of a microstructural anisotropy parameter Q which is given by an integral over the two-point correlation function and unambiguously defined for arbitrary snow structures. For validation we compiled a comprehensive data set of 167 snow samples. The set comprises individual samples of various snow types and entire time series of metamorphism experiments under isothermal and temperature gradient conditions. All samples were digitally reconstructed by micro-computed tomography to perform microstructure-based simulations of heat transport. The incorporation of anisotropy via Q considerably reduces the root mean square error over the usual density-based parametrization. The systematic quantification of anisotropy via the two-point correlation function suggests a generalizable route to incorporate microstructure into snowpack models. We indicate the inter-relation of the conductivity to other properties and outline a potential impact of Q on dielectric constant, permeability and adsorption rate of diffusing species in the pore space.
