The amplitude is computed by means of the covariant loop calculus which turns out to be a powerful method in the study of such a Regge regime. The leading contribution in powers of s is shown to factorize at

The phenomenon of the shrinking of the Gaussian (localization), describing the electron ground state, takes place on large time scales. Its relation with the transport properties of such a system is then analyzed.

As a consequence the physical interpretation of the two parameters of the model as the longitudinal and the Hall conductances is made clear. Parameters ’ scaling roperties allow for the determination of the critical index for the localization length after a mapping of our statistical model onto a classical percolation model. The universality of the critical properties, supported by recent experiments, is a consequence of the infinite discrete symmetry of the model SL(2, Z) (generalized duality), as noticed in a previous paper.

Its extension to the multiparticle center of the mass wave function is also given. The novel transport properties of the system are then studied by applying Laughlin

Since the lattice approach provides us with a natural framework toward a better understanding of nonperturbative phenomena, like quark confinement, we study nonperturbative physical quantities, like the string tension and the glueball mass. The first two

The values of the allowed charges are determined by the periodicity properties of the collective correlation functions on the torus.

They provide an understanding of the FQHE in terms of quantized vortex excitations with finite energy and fractional charge. Working with doubly periodic boundary conditions, we identify a specific set of vertex operators corresponding to electrons or

Its integrand is recast in geometrical terms and is recognized to give the g-vacuum for the bosonic string recently discussed in the literature. By joining the g-tadpole to an N-reggeon vertex the general orientable dual amplitude with g loops is obtained.

Joined to an (N+1)-reggeon vertex it yields the correct expression for the one-loop N-tachyon amplitude.
