Following hep-th/0211098 we study the matrix model which describes the topological A-model on T * (S 3 /Z p ). We show that the resolvent has square root branch cuts and it follows that this is a p cut single matrix model. We solve for the resolvent and find the spectral curve. We comment on how this is related to large N transitions and mirror symmetry.
We apply an analytic description to the inclusive decay of the τ lepton. We argue that this method gives not only a self-consistent description of the process both in the timelike region by using the initial expression for R τ and in the spacelike domain by using the analytic properties of the hadronic correlator, but also leads to the fact that theoretical uncertainties associated with unknown higher-loop contributions and renormalization scheme dependence can be reduced dramatically.
We demonsrate that the spectral curve of the matrix model for Chern-Simons theory on the Lens space S 3 /Z p is precisely the Riemann surface which appears in the mirror to the blownup, orbifolded conifold. This provides the first check of the A-model large
For matrix models with measure on the Lie algebra of SO/Sp, the sub-leading free energy is given by F 1 (S) = ± 1 4 ∂F 0 (S) ∂S . Motivated by the fact that this relationship does not hold for Chern-Simons theory on S 3 , we calculate the sub-leading free energy in the matrix model for this theory, which is a Gaussian matrix model with Haar measure on the group SO/Sp. We derive a quantum loop equation for this matrix model and then find that F 1 is an integral of the leading order resolvent over the spectral curve.We explicitly calculate this integral for quadratic potential and find agreement with previous studies of SO/Sp Chern-Simons theory.
The structure of the reduced phase space arising in the Hamiltonian reduction of the phase space corresponding to a free particle motion on the group SL(2, R) is investigated. The considered reduction is based on the constraints similar to those used in the Hamiltonian reduction of the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten model to Toda systems. It is shown that the reduced phase space is diffeomorphic either to the union of two two-dimensional planes, or to the cylinder S 1 × R. Canonical coordinates are constructed for the both cases, and it is shown that in the first case the reduced phase space is symplectomorphic to the union of two cotangent bundles T * (R) endowed with the canonical symplectic structure, while in the second case it is symplectomorphic to the cotangent bundle T * (S 1 ) also endowed with the canonical symplectic structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
