A general expression for the four-point function with vanishing total R-charge of anti-chiral and chiral superfields in N=1 superconformal theories is given. It is obtained by applying the exponential of a simple universal nilpotent…
We construct a new off-shell $\mathcal{N}{=}8$, $d{=}1$ nonlinear supermultiplet $(\mathbf{4,8,4})$ proceeding from the nonlinear realization of the $\mathcal{N}{=}8$, $d{=}1$ superconformal group $OSp(4^{\star}|4)$ in its supercoset…
We study brane realizations of chiral matter in N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions. A "cross" configuration which leads to "flavor doubling" is found to have a superpotential. The main example is realized using a special…
We study ten-dimensional N=2 maximal chiral supergravity in the context of Lie superalgebra SU(8/1). The possible successive superalgebraic truncations from ten dimensional N=2 chiral theory to the lower dimensional supergravity theories…
A short survey of some aspects of harmonic superspace is given. In particular, the $d=3, N=8$ scalar supermultiplet and the $d=6, N=(2,0)$ tensor multiplet are described as analytic superfields in appropriately defined harmonic superspaces.
We study the non-perturbative corrections generated by exotic instantons in U(N) gauge theories in eight and four dimensions. As it was shown previously, the eight-dimensional prepotential can be resummed using a plethystic formula showing…
Although the phenomenon of chirality appears in many investigations of maps and hypermaps no detailed study of chirality seems to have been carried out. Chirality of maps and hypermaps is not merely a binary invariant but can be quantified…
The N = 2, 4 superconformal symmetry constraints in d = 4 for four point functions of chiral primary 1/2-BPS operators are derived. The operators are described by symmetric traceless tensors of the internal R-symmetry group. A substantial…
The notion of chiral prime concatenations is studied as a recursive construction of prime numbers starting from a seed set and with appropriate blocks to define the primality growth, generation by generation, either from the right or from…
We classify $N{=}1$ $d=4$ kinematical and aristotelian Lie superalgebras with spatial isotropy, but not necessarily parity nor time-reversal invariance. Employing a quaternionic formalism which makes rotational covariance manifest and…
We define $\mathcal N=2$ supersymmetric and gauge-invariant path integral measure in $D=4$, $\mathcal N=2$ SQCD in terms of $\mathcal N=1$ superfields. As a further consequence, we derive the $\mathcal N=2$ version of the chiral anomaly in…
In the presence of an $\Omega$-deformation, local operators generate a chiral algebra in the topological-holomorphic twist of a four-dimensional $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supersymmetric field theory. We show that for a unitary $\mathcal{N} = 2$…
We consider additional properties of CNM (chiral-nonminimal) models. We show how 4D, N = 2 nonlinear sigma-models can be described solely in terms of N = 1 superfield CNM doublets. These actions are described by a Kahler potential together…
We present a classification of the unitarity quadrangles in the four-neutrino mixing scheme. We find that there are totally thirty-six distinct topologies among twelve different unitarity quadrangles. Concise relations are established…
We construct a chiral theory of gravity in 7 and 8 dimensions, which are equivalent to Einstein-Cartan theory using less variables. In these dimensions, we can construct such higher dimensional chiral gravity because of the existence of…
We construct a class of nonabelian superconformal (1,0) hypermultiplet theories in six dimensions by introducing an abelian auxiliary field. The gauge fields of this class of theories are non-dynamical, and this class of theories can be…
In this paper we look at a sigma model based on the (4, 4) twisted chiral multiplet [3]. It admits two geometric descriptions: The ususal bi-quaternionic geometry on the tangent space and a new geometry involving two Yano F-structures on a…
Superconformal symmetry in six-dimensions is analyzed in terms of coordinate transformations on superspace. A superconformal Killing equation is derived and its solutions are identified in terms of supertranslations, dilations, Lorentz…
We analyze the conformal bootstrap constraints in theories with four supercharges and a global $O(N) \times U(1)$ flavor symmetry in $3 \leq d \leq 4$ dimensions. In particular, we consider the 4-point function of $O(N)$-fundamental chiral…
We conduct a systematic search for anomaly-free six-dimensional N=1 chiral supergravity theories. Under a certain set of restrictions on the allowed gauge groups and the representations of the hypermultiplets, we enumerate all possible…
