For any complex number α and any even-size skew-symmetric matrix B, we define a generalization pf α (B) of the pfaffian pf(B) which we call the α-pfaffian. The α-pfaffian is a pfaffian analogue of the α-determinant studied in [T. Shirai and Y. Takahashi, J. Funct. Anal. 205 (2003) 414-463] and [D. V

In this paper, we study ^-matroids induced by nonintersecting paths in a directed graph. The association between nonintersecting paths and ^-matroids is derived from Pfaffians. On the one hand, certain numbers of k-tuples of noninter-Ž . secting paths may often be expressed as a Pfaffian, while, on

Schur Q-functions were originally introduced by Schur in relation to projective representations of the symmetric group, and they can be defined combinatorially in terms of shifted tableaux. In this paper we describe planar decompositions of shifted tableaux into strips and use the shapes of these st

We present a method for explicitly computing the non-perturbative superpotentials associated with the vector bundle moduli in heterotic superstrings and M-theory. This method is applicable to any stable, holomorphic vector bundle over an elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefold. Superpotentials of
