A superfield version on superspace $(x^\mu,\theta^a)$ is proposed for the $Sp(2)$-- covariant Lagrangian quantization of general gauge theories. The BRST- and antiBRST- transformations are realized on superfields as supertranslations in the…
The SO(2,10) covariant extension of M-theory superalgebra is considered, with the aim to construct a correspondingly generalized M-theory, or 11d supergravity. For the orbit, corresponding to the $11d$ supergravity multiplet, the simplest…
We develop a superfield formalism for N=4 superconformal two-dimensional field theory. A list is presented of minimal free superfields, i.e. of multiplets containing four bosons and four fermions. We show that the super-Poincar\'e algebra…
We find a parametrically light dilaton in special confining theories in three dimensions. Their duals form what we call a scion of solutions to the supergravity associated with the large-N limit of the Coulomb branch of the N=4…
In the present work we show that it is possible to arrive at a Ginzburg-Landau (GL) like equation from pure SU(2) gauge theory. This has a connection to the dual superconducting model for color confinement where color flux tubes permanently…
General relativity can be formulated as a SU(2) BF-theory with constraints, as has been shown, by Pleba\'nski. The cosmological constant term can be obtained from the constraint term, following from the consistency of the equations of…
The conformal extension of the BMS$_{3}$ algebra is constructed. Apart from an infinite number of 'superdilatations,' in order to incorporate 'superspecial conformal transformations,' the commutator of the latter with supertranslations…
The predictions for the mass of the light CP-even Higgs are investigated in the context of a simple extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model where the baryon and lepton numbers are local gauge symmetries. This theory predicts…
Lagrangian descriptions of irreducible and reducible integer higher-spin representations of the Poincare group subject to a Young tableaux $Y[\hat{s}_1,\hat{s}_2]$ with two columns are constructed within a metric-like formulation in a…
The half-maximal supergravity theories in three dimensions, which have local $SO(8)\xz SO(n)$ and rigid SO(8,n) symmetries, are discussed in a superspace setting starting from the superconformal theory. The on-shell theory is obtained by…
We construct maximal supergravity in five-dimensions by 'oxidizing' the four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=8$ theory. The relevant symmetries, the unitary symplectic group $USp(8)$ and the exceptional group $E_6$, are both presented in…
The $\cal{N}=4$ supersymmetric spinning particle admits several consistent quantizations, related to the gauging of different subgroups of the $SO(4)$ $R$-symmetry on the worldline. We construct the background independent BRST quantization…
The canonical front form Hamiltonian for non-Abelian SU(N) gauge theory in 3+1 dimensions and in the light-cone gauge is mapped non-perturbatively on an effective Hamiltonian which acts only in the Fock space of a quark and an antiquark.…
We investigate the supersymmetric versions of Bondi-Metzner-Sachs or, equivalently, conformal Carroll symmetry in boundary dimensions $d>3$, with applications of flat space holography in mind. We identify the contraction of the relativistic…
We investigate algebraic structure of light-cone string field theory which respects the spacetime supersymmetry su(2|2). Extracting building blocks from the explicit oscillator expressions of light-cone superstring field theory on the…
We generalize the suggestion presented in arXiv:0806.3498 that the 3d N=8 superconformal SU(N) Chern-Simons-matter theory of Lorentzian Bagger-Lambert-Gustavson type (L-BLG) can be obtained through the scaling limit from N=6 superconformal…
We construct mass deformed SU(N) L-BLG theory together with $U(M-N)_k$ Chern-Simons theory. This mass deformed L-BLG theory is a low energy world volume theory of a stack of $N$ number of M2-brane far away from $C^4/Z_k$ singularity. We…
We apply the light-cone hamiltonian approach to D2-brane, and derive the equivalent gauge-invariant Lagrangian. The later appears to be that of three-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, interacting with matter fields, in the special external…
We reformulate the Kazhdan-Lusztig theory for the BGG category $\mathcal{O}$ of Lie algebras of type D via the theory of canonical bases arising from quantum symmetric pairs initiated by Weiqiang Wang and the author. This is further applied…
An purely algebraic proof of the PBW theorem of U_q(gl(m,n)) is given. Lusztig's conjecture is extended to the super case. The Lusztig's tensor product theorem is established.
