The complete supersymmetric action for eleven-dimensional supergravity is presented. The action is polynomial in the scalar fermionic pure spinor superfield, and contains only a minor modification to the recently proposed three-point…
At tree-level, scattering amplitudes involving only gluons or gravitons are unaffected by supersymmetry, allowing them to be efficiently encoded by and extracted from those of maximally supersymmetric (N=4,8) theories. This fails beyond…
We study classical field theories that do not admit an action principle, implying that their formulation is entirely in terms of equations of motion. In the theories that we consider, supersymmetry is realized on the mass-shell. We will…
We show that a quantum-mechanical N=2 supersymmetry is hidden in 4d mass spectrum of any gauge invariant theories with extra dimensions. The N=2 supercharges are explicitly constructed in terms of differential forms. The analysis can be…
We construct actions for (p,0)- and (p,1)- supersymmetric, 1 <= p <= 4, two-dimensional gauge theories coupled to non-linear sigma model matter with a Wess-Zumino term. We derive the scalar potential for a large class of these models. We…
We construct the general supersymmetry algebra via the adjoint action on a semi-Hopf algebra which has a more general structure than a Hopf algebra. As a result we have an extended supersymmetry theory with quantum gauge group, i.e.,…
We analyze a particle constrained to move on a $(p,q)$-torus knot within the framework of supervariable approach and deduce the BRST as well as anti-BRST symmetries. We also capture the nilpotency and absolute anti-commutativity of…
Using perturbation theory, we explore the universal high momentum behavior of correlation functions of gauge invariant operators in planar noncommutative gauge theories. We find that the correlation functions are strongly enhanced when…
The theory of N = 1 supergravity with gauged supermatter is studied in the context of a k = + 1 Friedmann minisuperspace model. It is found by imposing the Lorentz and supersymmetry constraints that there are {\seveni no} physical states in…
We investigate in 4 spacetime dimensions, all the consistent deformations of the lagrangian ${\cal L}_2+{\cal L}_{{3/2}}$, which is the sum of the Pauli-Fierz lagrangian ${\cal L}_2$ for a free massless spin 2 field and the Rarita-Schwinger…
We present a consistent theory of N=1 supergravity in twelve-dimensions with the signature (10,2). Even though the formulation uses two null vectors violating the manifest Lorentz covariance, all the superspace Bianchi identities are…
The effective action of $N=2$, $d=4$ supergravity is shown to acquire no quantum corrections in background metrics admitting super-covariantly constant spinors. In particular, these metrics include the Robinson-Bertotti metric (product of…
The algebra of constraints arising in the canonical quantization of N=1 supergravity in four dimensions is investigated. Using the holomorphic action, the structure functions of the algebra are given and it is shown that the algebra does…
Matter is coupled to three-dimensional gravity such that the topological phase is allowed and the (anti-) de Sitter or Poincar\'e symmetry remains intact. Spontaneous symmetry breaking to the Lorentz group occurs if a scalar field is…
We discuss models where N=1 global supersymmetry is spontaneously broken, at the classical level, in the presence of non-anomalous gauge interactions. We take such models as effective theories, valid up to some suitable scale and arising…
We explore the interplay of matter with quantum gravity with a preferred frame to highlight that the matter sector cannot be protected from the symmetry-breaking effects in the gravitational sector. Focusing on Abelian gauge fields, we show…
We consider field theories that exhibit a supersymmetric Lifshitz scaling with two real supercharges. The theories can be formulated in the language of stochastic quantization. We construct the free field supersymmetry algebra with rotation…
We analyze the strong coupling behavior of the large N gauge theories in 4-dimensions with N=4 supersymmetry by making use of S-duality. We show that at large values of the coupling constant $\lambda=g_{YM}^2N$ the j-th non-planar amplitude…
A canonical analysis of the first-order two-dimensional Einstein-Hilbert action has shown it to have no physical degrees of freedom and to possess an unusual gauge symmetry with a symmetric field $\xi_{\mu\nu}$ acting as a gauge function.…
Following the approach developed by some of the authors in recent papers and using a matrix representation for the superfields, we formulate an exact supersymmetric theory with two supercharges on a one dimensional lattice. In the…
