Open Superstring and Noncommutative Geometry
We perform canonical quantization of the open Neveu-Schwarz-Ramond (NSR) superstrings in the background of a D-brane with the NS B-field. If we choose the mixed boundary condition as a primary constraint, it generates a set of secondary constraints. These constraints are easily solved and as a result, the noncommutative geometry in the bosonic string theory is extended to the superspace. Solving the constraint conditions we also find that the Hamiltonian for the superstring is equivalent to a free superstring Hamiltonian on the target space with the effective open string metric G.

Tachyon condensation, boundary state, and noncommutative solitons
We discuss tachyon condensation in a single unstable D-brane in the framework of the boundary state formulation. The boundary state in the background of tachyon condensation and the Neveu-Schwarz B-field is explicitly constructed. We show in both commutative theory and noncommutative theory that the unstable D-branes behave like an extended object and eventually reduce to lower dimensional D-branes as the system approaches the infrared fixed point. We clarify the relationship between the commutative field theoretical description of tachyon condensation and the noncommutative one.

Quantum Brownian Motion on a Triangular Lattice and Fermi-Bose Equivalence: An Application of Boundary State Formulation
We discuss the Bose-Fermi equivalence in the quantum Brownian motion (QBM) on a triangular lattice, mapping the action for the QBM into a string theory action with a periodic boundary tachyon potential. We construct new Klein factors which are more appropriate than the conventional ones to deal with the quantum field theories defined on a two dimensioanl space-time with boundaries. Using the Fermi-Bose equivalence with the new Klein factors, we show that the model for the quantum Bownian motion on a triangular lattice is equivalent to the Thirring model with boundary terms, which are quadratic in fermion field operators, in the off-critical regions and to a SU(3) × SU(3) free fermion theory with quadratic boundary terms at the critical point.

Topological Ward identity and anti-de Sitter space / CFT correspondence
Abstract The dual relationship between the supergravity in the anti-de Sitter (AdS) space and the superconformal field theory is discussed in the simplest form. We show that a topological Ward identity holds in the three dimensional Chern–Simons gravity. In this simple case the proposed dual relationship can be understood as the topological Ward identity. Extensions to the supersymmetric theories and higher dimensional ones are also briefly discussed.

Estimation of the large order behavior of the plaquette
Abstract The universality of vacuum condensate can be exploited to relate the infrared renormalon caused large order behaviors of different processes. As an application the normalization constant of the large order behavior of the average plaquette is estimated using the Adler function.

Particle with non-Abelian charge: classical and quantum
We study the action for a non-Abelian charged particle in a non-Abelian background field in the worldline formalism, described by real bosonic variables, leading to the well known equations given by Wong. The isospin parts in the action can be viewed as the Lagrange multiplier term corresponding to a non-holonomic constraint restricting the isospins to be parallel transported. The path integration is performed over the isospin variables and as a result, the worldlines turn out to be constrained by the classical solutions for the isospins. We derive a wave equation from the path integral, constructed as the constrained Hamiltonian operator acting on the wave function. The operator ordering corresponding to the quantum Hamiltonian is found and verified by the inverse Weyl transformation.

Gauge symmetry enhancement in the Hamiltonian formalism
We study the Hamiltonian structure of the gauge symmetry enhancement in the enlarged CP(N) model coupled with U(2) Chern-Simons term, which contains a free parameter governing explicit symmetry breaking and symmetry enhancement. After giving a general discussion of the geometry of constrained phase space suitable for the symmetry enhancement, we explicitly perform the Dirac analysis of our model and compute the Dirac brackets for the symmetry enhanced and broken cases. We also discuss some related issues.

Borel resummation with low order perturbations in QCD
The bilocal expansion of Borel transform provides an efficient way of Borel resummation with low order perturbations in QCD. Its applications to the heavy quark pole mass, static potential, and lattice calculation are reviewed.
