Every quantum state can be represented as a probability distribution over the outcomes of an informationally complete measurement. But not all probability distributions correspond to quantum states. Quantum state space may thus be thought…
Starting from N=2 supersymmetric theories in 2 dimensions, we formulate a novel time-dependent supersymmetric quantum theory where the R-charge is twisted along the time. The invariance of the supersymmetric index under variations of the…
The BPS spectrum of string theory on AdS$_3\times {\rm S}^3 \times {\rm S}^3 \times {\rm S}^1$ is determined using a world-sheet description in terms of WZW models. It is found that the theory only has BPS states with $j^+ = j^-$ where…
Vector spaces of (framed) BPS states of Lagrangian four-dimensional N=2 field theories can be defined in semiclassical chambers in terms of the $L^2$-cohomology of Dirac-like operators on monopole moduli spaces. This was spelled out…
We derive the central charge and BPS equations from the low-energy effective action for N=2 SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in the Coulomb phase, using a systematic, canonical procedure. We then obtain solutions for monopole and dyon BPS states,…
We study classical solutions of N=4 super Yang-Mills theories that are invariant under 1/4 of the supersymmetry generators. Expressions for the mass and electric charge of the configurations are derived as functions on the monopole moduli…
Energies of quantum states are given by the arguments of phase-evolution exponentials. It follows then that an analysis of the energies of a two-state system (TSS) can revolve around phase-emphasized description of states' probability…
Classical and quantum dynamics of two distinct BPS monopoles in the case of non-aligned Higgs fields are studied on the basis of the recently determined low energy effective theory. Despite the presence of a specific potential together with…
We discuss topologically stable solitons in two-dimensional theories with the extended supersymmetry assuming that the spatial coordinate is compact. This problem arises in the consideration of the domain walls in the popular theories with…
Using relativistic quantum mechanics, we study the spectrum of a non-BPS two-particle bound state in the massive phase of $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills, in the limit when one of the particles is infinitely heavier than the other. We find…
In this work we define a new limiting procedure that extends the usual thermodynamics treatment of Black Hole physics, to the supersymmetric regime. This procedure is inspired on equivalent statistical mechanics derivations in the dual CFT…
Quantum corrections to the magnetic central charge of the monopole in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are free from the anomalous contributions that were crucial for BPS saturation of the two-dimensional supersymmetric kink and the N=2…
We study the BPS spectrum of the theory on a D3-brane probe in F theory. The BPS states are realized by multi-string configurations in spacetime. Only certain configurations obeying a selection rule give rise to BPS states in the…
We consider 10-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory with topological terms compactified on a noncommutative torus. We calculate supersymmetry algebra and derive BPS energy spectra from it. The cases of d-dimensional tori with d=2,3,4 are…
A state saturating a BPS bound derived from a supersymmetry algebra preserves some fraction of the supersymmetry. This fraction of supersymmetry depends on the charges carried by the system, and we show that in general there are…
The BPS state spectrum in four-dimensional gauge theories or string vacua with N=2 supersymmetries is well known to depend on the values of the parameters or moduli at spatial infinity. The BPS index is locally constant, but discontinuous…
We study the spectrum of BPS states in N=4 supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theory. This theory has been proposed to describe M-theory on T^3 in the discrete light-cone formalism. We find that the degeneracy of irreducible BPS bound states in…
We consider BPS configurations in theories with two timelike directions from the perspective of the supersymmetry algebra. We show that whereas a BPS state in a theory with one timelike variable must have positive energy, in a theory with…
We give an explicit expression for classical 1/4-BPS fields in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on noncommutative tori. We use it to study quantum 1/4-BPS states. In particular we calculate the degeneracy of 1/4-BPS energy levels.
The space of all possible boundary conditions that respect self-adjointness of Hamiltonian operator is known to be given by the group manifold $U(2)$ in one-dimensional quantum mechanics. In this paper we study non-Abelian Berry's…
