Subtleties arising in the non-relativistic limit of relativistic branes are resolved, and a reparametrization-invariant and kappa-symmetric non-relativistic super p-brane action is obtained as a limit of the action for a relativistic super…
We construct ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric low-energy effective action of $5D, {\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in $5D, {\cal N}=1$ harmonic superspace. It is obtained as a hypermultiplet completion of the leading $W \ln W$-term…
General Lagrangians are constructed for N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four space-time dimensions involving gauge groups with (non-abelian) electric and magnetic charges. The charges induce a scalar potential, which, when the charges…
SU(2) gauge theory is investigated with a lattice action which is insensitive to small perturbations of the lattice gauge fields. Bare perturbation theory can not be defined for such actions at all. We compare non-perturbative continuum…

In a recent paper Townsend suggested to associate to the D=11 solitonic membrane of N=1 supergravity a certain thickness, and then to identify this membrane with the fundamental supermembrane. By integrating out the 8 transverse dimensions…
We study six-dimensional N=(1,0) supergravity theories with abelian, as well as non-abelian, gauge group factors. We show that for theories with fewer than nine tensor multiplets, the number of possible combinations of gauge groups -…
We suggest that the static configurations of M-theory may be described by the matrix regularisation of the supermembrane theory in static regime. We compute the long range interaction between a M2-brane and an anti-M2-brane in agreement…
Non-commutative gauge theory with a non-constant non-commutativity parameter can be formulated as a decoupling limit of open strings ending on D3-branes wrapping a Melvin universe. We construct the action explicitly and discuss various…
In this work we obtain dynamical solutions of the bosonic sector of the supermembrane theory with central charges formulated on $M_9\times T^2$, denoted by MIM2. The theory with this condition corresponds to a supermembrane with a $C_-$…
We present a simple form of the on-shell gauge-invariant 1-loop effective action of N=8 supergravity which is manifestly N=8 supersymmetric at the linear level. By generalizing the dimensional arguments in superspace to non-local…

Starting with the ordinary ten-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory for the gauge group U(N), we obtain a twelve-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory as the large N limit. The two symplectic canonical coordinates parametrizing…
In this paper we reconsider, for N=8 supergravity, the problem of gauging the most general electric subgroup. We show that admissible theories are fully characterized by a single algebraic equation to be satisfied by the embedding of the…
We introduce some (anti)M/D-branes through turning on the corresponding field strengths of the eleven- and ten-dimensional supergravity theories over AdS_4 x M^(7/6) spaces, where we use S^7/Z_k and CP^3 for the internal spaces. Indeed,…
Sigma models describing low energy effective actions on D0-brane probes with N=8 supercharges are studied in detail using a manifestly d=1, N=4 super-space formalism. Two 0+1 dimensional N=4 multiplets together with their general actions…
We employ generalized complex geometry to investigate supersymmetric embeddings of D-brane probes in a large class of SU(2) structure manifolds. This class includes the gravity dual of mass deformation and marginal beta deformation of N=4…
We develop the background field method in the N=2, d=3 superspace for studying effective actions in three-dimensional SYM models which live in the world-volume of various 2-branes. In particular, the low-energy effective action for the N=2…
We make the observation that M-brane models defined in terms of 3-algebras can be interpreted as higher gauge theories involving Lie 2-groups. Such gauge theories arise in particular in the description of non-abelian gerbes. This…
The SL(2,Z) duality symmetry of IIB superstring is naturally realized on the D=11 supermembrane restricted to have central charges arising from a nontrivial wrapping. This supermembrane is minimally immersed on the target space (MIM2). The…
