We explore gauge fields - strings duality by means of the loop equations and the zigzag symmetry. The results are striking and incomplete. Striking - because we find that the string ansatz proposed in [A.M. Polyakov, hep-th/9711002]…
This work consists of two parts. In the first part we construct the complete extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model by higher dimensional effective operators and study its phenomenology. These operators encapsulate the…
We analyze to all perturbative orders the properties of two possible quantum extensions of classically on-shell equivalent antisymmetric tensor gauge models in four dimensions. The first case, related to the soft breaking of a topological…
It is well-known that if we gauge a $\mathbb{Z}_n$ symmetry in two dimensions, a dual $\mathbb{Z}_n$ symmetry appears, such that re-gauging this dual $\mathbb{Z}_n$ symmetry leads back to the original theory. We describe how this can be…
We give a mathematically rigorous construction of the moduli space and vacuum geometry of a class of quantum field theories which are N=2 supersymmetric Wess-Zumino models on a cylinder. These theories have been proven to exist in the sense…
An interesting feature of some open superstring models in $D < 10$ is the simultaneous presence, in the spectrum, of gauge fields and of a number of antisymmetric tensor fields. In these cases the Green-Schwarz mechanism can (and does) take…
The structure of the moduli space of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories is analyzed from an algebraic geometric viewpoint. The connection between the fundamental fields of the ultraviolet theory, and the gauge invariant composite fields of…
We extend results on asymptotic invariants of line bundles on complex projective varieties to projective varieties over arbitrary fields. To do so over imperfect fields, we prove a scheme-theoretic version of the gamma construction of…
We prove finiteness results on integral points on complements of large divisors in projective varieties over finitely generated fields of characteristic zero. To do so, we prove a function field analogue of arithmetic finiteness results of…
We propose a geometric formulation of effective field theories via nonlinear supersymmetry. Non-supersymmetric particles are embedded in constrained superfields governed by a nonlinear sigma model, and operators are collected into…
The gauge field theory of the standard electroweak model in the presence of the electroweak bubble wall is investigated with a view to its applications to microscopic phenomena, which are believed to have occurred during the phase…
An enveloping algebra valued gauge field is constructed, its components are functions of the Lie algebra valued gauge field and can be constructed with the Seiberg-Witten map. This allows the formulation of a dynamics for a finite number of…
We analyze the gauge structure of a recently proposed superconformal field theory in six dimensions. We find that this structure amounts to a weak Courant-Dorfman algebra, which, in turn, can be interpreted as a strong homotopy Lie algebra.…
We discuss the renormalization properties of noncommutative supersymmetric theories. We also discuss how the gauge field plays a role similar to gravity in noncommutative theories.
We discuss a number of exact results in N=1 supersymmetric field theories. We review the results obtained by Seiberg in Super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theories with matter in fundamental representation. We then consider Kutasov-type SYM theories,…
Nonlinear sigma models arise in supergravity theories with or without matter couplings in various dimensions and they are important in understanding the duality symmetries of M-theory. With this motivation in mind, we review the salient…
The gauge symmetries that underlie string theory arise from inner automorphisms of the algebra of observables of the associated conformal field theory. In this way it is possible to study broken and unbroken symmetries on the same footing,…
In the framework of algebraic quantum field theory we analyze the anomalous statistics exhibited by a class of automorphisms of the observable algebra of the two-dimensional free massive Dirac field, constructed by fermionic gauge group…
In this review we summarize the ongoing effort to study extra-dimensional gauge theories with lattice simulations. In these models the Higgs field is identified with extra-dimensional components of the gauge field. The Higgs potential is…
We show that noncommuting electric fields occur naturally in $\theta$-expanded noncommutative gauge theories. Using this noncommutativity, which is field dependent, and a hamiltonian generalisation of the Seiberg-Witten Map, the algebraic…
