We study a set of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) $\widehat{\Gamma}(G)$ labeled by a pair of simply-laced Lie groups $\Gamma$ and $G$. They are constructed out of gauging a number of $\mathcal{D}_p(G)$…

In this thesis, the AdS/CFT correspondence is used as a tool to explore novel AdS$_5$ Supergravity backgrounds (containing five-dimensional Anti-de Sitter spacetime) and their dual (four dimensional) Conformal Field Theory descriptions. In…

Motivated by a recent interest in curved rigid supersymmetries, we construct a new type of N=4, d=1 supersymmetric systems by employing superfields defined on the cosets of the supergroup SU(2|1). The relevant worldline supersymmetry is a…

We give a unified division algebraic description of (D=3, N=1,2,4,8), (D=4, N=1,2,4), (D=6, N=1,2) and (D=10, N=1) super Yang-Mills theories. A given (D=n+2, N) theory is completely specified by selecting a pair (A_n, A_{nN}) of division…

This is a sequel of our paper hep-th/0606125 in which we have studied the {\cal N}=1 SU(N) SYM theory obtained as a marginal deformation of the {\cal N}=4 theory, with a complex deformation parameter \beta and in the planar limit. There we…

A three-parametric $R$-matrix satisfying a graded Yang-Baxter equation is introduced.This $R$-matrix allows us to construct new quantum supergroups which are deformations of the supergroup $GL(1/1)$ and the universal enveloping algebra…

We study the Higgs branches of the superconformal points of four-dimensional N=2 super Yang-Mills (SYM) which appear due to the occurrence of mutually local monopoles having appropriate charges. We show, for example, that the maximal…

The symmetric subspace of multi-qubit systems, that is, the space of states invariant under permutations, is commonly encountered in applications in the context of quantum information and communication theory. It is known that the symmetric…

We present a general prescription for constructing 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ Lagrangians for the IR SCFTs that arise from the circle reduction of a large class of Argyres-Douglas theories. The resultant Lagrangian gives a realization of the Higgs…

We construct a lattice formulation of a mass-deformed two-dimensional N=(8,8) super Yang-Mills theory with preserving two supercharges exactly. Gauge fields are represented by compact unitary link variables, and the exact supercharges on…

In [1] (hep-th/0211069), the author has discussed the quantum parameter space of the N=1 super Yang-Mills theory with one adjoint Higgs field Phi, tree-level superpotential W_tree = m (Phi^2)/2 + g (Phi^3)/3$, and gauge group U(Nc). In…

We construct the 4-dimensional ${\cal N}=\frac12$ and ${\cal N}=1$ inhomogeneously mass-deformed super Yang-Mills theories from the ${\cal N} =1^*$ and ${\cal N} =2^*$ theories, respectively, and analyse their supersymmetric vacua. The…

We study generalized global symmetries and their 't Hooft anomalies in 3d N=4 superconformal field theories (SCFTs). Following some general considerations, we focus on good quiver gauge theories, comprised of balanced unitary nodes and…

We discuss a deformation of the Hopf algebra of supersymmetry (SUSY) transformations based on a special choice of twist. As usual, algebra itself remains unchanged, but the comultiplication changes. This leads to the deformed Leibniz rule…

We define a semi-Hopf algebra which is more general than a Hopf algebra. Then we construct the supersymmetry algebra via the adjoint action on this semi-Hopf algebra. As a result we have a supersymmetry theory with quantum gauge group,…

We point out that charge conjugation and coordinate reflection symmetries do not commute with the center symmetry of $SU(N)$ YM theory when $N>2$. As a result, for generic values of the $\theta$ angle, the group of discrete zero-form…

We review the non-anticommutative Q-deformations of N=(1,1) supersymmetric theories in four-dimensional Euclidean harmonic superspace. These deformations preserve chirality and harmonic Grassmann analyticity. The associated field theories…

An unusual four-dimensional generally covariant and supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory is described. The theory has propagating degrees of freedom, and is invariant under a local (left-handed) chiral supersymmetry, which is half the…

In this paper, we show that the deformed Hermitian Yang-Mills (dHYM) equation on a rational homogeneous variety, equipped with any invariant K\"{a}hler metric, always admits a solution. In particular, we describe the Lagrangian phase, with…

We study the decomposition of 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theories with Lie algebras of type $\mathfrak{su}(N)$, $\mathfrak{so}(2N)$, and $\mathfrak{e}_{6}$, realized via M-theory geometric engineering. These theories, together with their…
