We uplift 5-dimensional super-Yang-Mills theory to a 6-dimensional gauge theory with the help of a space-like constant vector $\eta^M$, whose norm determines the Yang-Mills coupling constant. After the localization of $\eta^M$ the 6D gauge…
Integral invariants in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories are discussed in spacetime dimensions $4\leq D\leq 10$ for $SU(k)$ gauge groups. It is shown that, in addition to the action, there are three special invariants in all…
In family unification models, all three families of quarks and leptons are grouped together into an irreducible representation of a simple gauge group, thus unifying the Standard Model gauge symmetries and a gauged family symmetry. Large…
In this contribution some aspects of supergravity and super Yang-Mills systems in D=6 are briefly reviewed and, in some cases, are contrasted with the analogous features in D=4. Particular emphasis is laid on the stringy solutions of the…
We obtain the Picard-Fuchs equations of N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with the exceptional gauge group E_6. Such equations are based on E_6 spectral curve.

We consider compactifications of the matrix model of M-theory on $S^1/Z_2\times T^d$ for $d>0$, and interpret them as orbifolds of the supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theory on $R\times T^{d+1}$. The orbifold group acts both on the gauge…
Four-dimensional super-twistors provide a compact covariant description of on-shell N=4 d=4 super-Yang-Mills. In this paper, ten-dimensional super-twistors are introduced which similarly provide a compact covariant description of on-shell…
The higher dimensional analogue of the Blau-Thompson model in D=5 is constructed by a N_T=1 topological twist of N=2, D=5 super Yang-Mills theory. Its dimenional reduction to D=4 and D=3 gives rise to the B-model and N_T=4 equivariant…
