Directors welcomed the continued resilience of the global financial system, which has been supported by solid global growth, low inflation, abundant liquidity, and flat yield curves. They considered that financial conditions will likely remain benign in the most likely scenario of continued growth, contained inflation, and stable inflationary expectations. At the same time, Directors noted that...

Overall, fi nancial risks have risen and markets are continuing to experience bouts of turbulence.

Summing up Dirichlet Instantons.

We investigate quantum corrections to the moduli space for hypermultiplets for the type IIA string near a conifold singularity. We find a unique quantum deformation based on symmetry arguments which is consistent with a recent conjecture. The correction can be interpreted as an infinite sum coming from multiple wrappings of the Euclidean Dirichlet branes around the vanishing cycle. [S0031-9007(...
