We consider quantum models corresponding to superymmetrizations of the two-dimensional harmonic oscillator based on worldline $d=1$ realizations of the supergroup SU$(\,{\cal N}/2\,|1)$, where the number of supersymmetries ${\cal N}$ is…
We present an equivariant extension of the Thom form with respect to a vector field action, in the framework of the Mathai-Quillen formalism. The associated Topological Quantum Field Theories correspond to twisted $N=2$ supersymmetric…
When several inequivalent supercharges form a closed superalgebra in Quantum Mechanics it entails the appearance of hidden symmetries of a Super-Hamiltonian. We examine this problem in one-dimensional QM for the case of periodic potentials…
The super-algebraic structure of a generalized version of the Jaynes-Cummings model is investigated. We find that a Z2 graded extension of the so(2,1) Lie algebra is the underlying symmetry of this model. It is isomorphic to the…
We report general forms of one family of the N-fold supersymmetry in one-dimensional quantum mechanics. The N-fold supersymmetry is characterized by the supercharges which are N-th order in differential operators. The family reported here…
We gauge the central charge of the N=2 supersymmetry algebra in rigid superspace. The Fayet Sohnius hypermultiplet with gauged central charge coincides on-shell with N=2 supersymmetric electrodynamics. The gauge couplings of the…
We investigate N-extended supersymmetry in one-dimensional quantum mechanics on a circle with point singularities. For any integer n, N=2n supercharges are explicitly constructed and a class of point singularities compatible with…
We report on recent developments regarding the supersymmetric Free Differential Algebra describing the vacuum structure of $D=11$ supergravity. We focus on the emergence of a hidden superalgebra underlying the theory, explaining the…
Fermionic zero modes around non-abelian vortices are shown that they constitute two $N=2$, $d=1$ supersymmetric quantum mechanics algebras. These two algebras can be combined under certain circumstances to form a central charge extended…
A superspace formulation using superconnections and supercurvatures is specifically constructed for N=4 extended super Yang-Mills theory with a central charge in four dimensions, first proposed by Sohnius, Stelle and West long ago. We find…
We show that the $E_{11}$ representation that contains the space-time translation generators also contains the rank two and five totally anti-symmetric representations of $A_{10}$. By studying the behaviour of these latter $A_{10}$…
An infinite number of topological conformal algebras with varying central charges are explicitly shown to be present in $2d$ gravity (treated both in the conformal gauge and in the light-cone gauge) coupled to minimal matter. The central…
String theories with (N,N') local world-sheet supersymmetries are related to each other by marginal deformations. This connects N=1 and N=0 theories in which the target-spaces are interpreted as space-times, N=2 theories in which the target…
We continue the development of a theory of off-shell supersymmetric representations analogous to that of compact Lie algebras such as SU(3). For off-shell 4D, N = 1 systems, quark-like representations have been identified [1] in terms of…
Starting from nonlinear realizations of the partially broken central-charge extended N=4 and N=8 Poincar\'e supersymmetries in D=4, we derive the superfield equations of N=2 and N=4 Born-Infeld theories. The basic objects are the bosonic…
We consider the maximal central extension of the supertranslation algebra in d=4 and 3, which includes tensor central charges associated to topological defects such as domain walls (membranes) and strings. We show that for all N-extended…
We discuss infinite-dimensional hidden symmetry algebras (and hence an infinite number of conserved nonlocal charges) of the N-extented self-dual super Yang-Mills equations for general N\leq4 by using the supertwistor correspondence.…
This paper addresses an issue essential to the study of hidden supersymmetries (meaning here ones that do not close on the Hamiltonian) for one-dimensional non-linear supersymmetric sigma models. The issue relates to ambiguities, due to…
We investigate the S-matrix of N=2 supersymmetric sine-Gordon theory based on the N=2 supersymmetry and the quantum group structure. The topological charges play an important role to derive physical contents.
We consider the four dimensional scale invariant N=2 SU quiver gauge theories with USp(2N) ends or SU(2N) ends with antisymmetric matter representations. We argue that these theories are realized as six dimensional A_{2N-1} (0,2) theories…
