Obiettivo The main goal of this research project is to investigate certain aspects of the relation between gauge theories and strings, which follows the line of the modern development of theoretical high-energy physics. It is planned to further study the string/gauge correspondence, supersymmetric gauge theories and large-N matrix models that are associated with them. The present project proposes to carry out an extensive research of non-critical string theories and to gain new insight into the structure of integrable systems, their mathematical aspects and to apply it on revealing of new opportunities to construct a string theory in real (d=2,3,4) dimensions. The essential ingredient of our investigations is the string representation of the 3D Ising model considered on a regular and BCC (body center cubic) lattices. It is also planned to use 2D integrable theory to study Regge and Bjorken limits of quantum chromodynamics. We believe that the obtained results will give new insight into quantum chromodynamics and statistical physics, in particular, to extend the existing results about the string/gauge correspondence to the theories with less supersymmetries. The main tasks of the investigation include: - mathemetical aspects of string and gauge theories; - matrix models and supersymmetric gauge theories; - numerical study of Z_2 gauge theory on a lattice; - investigation of the string/gauge correspondence; - non-critical string and integrable models. The investigation will use the methods of Quantum Field Theory, General Relativity, Superstring Theory and Statistical Mechanics.
