We review non-linear sigma-models with (2,1) and (2,2) supersymmetry. We focus on off-shell closure of the supersymmetry algebra and give a complete list of (2,2) superfields. We provide evidence to support the conjecture that all N=(2,2)…

Superconformal matter multiplets play a crucial role in the construction of Poincare supergravity invariants. Off-shell multiplets allow for construction of general matter couplings in supergravity. In Nucl. Phys. B214 (1983) 519-531,…
We extend the Standard Model gauge group by a a gauged $U(1)_R$ R-Symmetry or a gauged $U(1)'$. The requirement of cancellation of anomalies is very constraining but can be achieved by adding three or four hidden-sector fields which are…
It is well established that the Hilbert space for charged particles in a plane subject to a uniform magnetic field can be described by two mutually commuting ladder algebras. We propose a similar formalism for Landau level quantization…
An extended Hubbard model with phonons is considered on a D-dimensional lattice. The symmetries of the model are studied in various cases. It is shown that for a certain choice of the parameters a superconducting SU_q(2) holds as a true…
Physics of two-dimensional electron gases under perpendicular magnetic field often displays three distinct stages when increasing the field amplitude: a low field regime with classical magnetotransport, followed at intermediate field by a…
We construct manifestly ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric off-shell superfield actions for the HKT $d=1$ sigma models on the group manifolds U(2) and SU(3), using the harmonic $d=1$ approach. The underlying $({\bf 4, 4, 0})$ and $({\bf 4, 4,…

We study the structure of the moduli spaces of vacua and superpotentials of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions. By analyzing the instanton corrections, we compute the exact superpotentials and determine the quantum…
Flat bands have become a pillar of modern condensed matter physics and photonics owing to the vanishing group velocity and diverging density of states. Here, we present a paradigmatic scheme to construct arbitrary flat bands on demand by…
We generalise the notions of supersymmetry and superspace by allowing generators and coordinates transforming according to more general Lorentz representations than the spinorial and vectorial ones of standard lore. This yields novel…
In this paper we propose a superfield description for all Bianchi-type cosmological models. The action is invariant under world-line local $n=4$ supersymmetry with $SU(2)_{local}XSU(2)_{global}$ internal symmetry. Due to the invariance of…
A fundamental challenge in supersymmetric field theory is that supersymmetry transformations on field variables generally form an algebra only on-shell, i.e. upon imposing the field equations. We show that this issue is defused in a…
A pseudoclassical model is proposed for the description of planar $P,T-$invariant massive fermions. The quantization of the model leads to the (2+1)-dimensional $P,T-$invariant fermion model used recently in $P,T-$conserving theories of…
