The two dimensional supersymmetric CP(N-1) model has a striking similarity to the N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory in four dimensions. The BPS mass formula and the curve of the marginal stability (CMS), which exist in the four dimensional…
All the new layer perovskite superconductors seem to show a phenomenon of symmetry mixing with repect to the order parameter. An analysis of the different alternative of mixing and how far could them be presented is carried out. For the…
Holomorphy of the superpotential promotes any continuous symmetry group G to a complexified symmetry group G_C of the superpotential. For U(1) symmetry this means that the superpotential is not only invariant under U(1) phase rotation but…
The superconducting properties of the 2D fermion system with local and different types of the indirect boson-exchange attractions in the cases of s-wave and d-wave pairing are reviewed and analysed at T=0. In particular, the possibility of…

We study the superpotentials, quantum parameter space and phase transitions that arise in the study of large N dualities between $\mathcal{N}=1$ SUSY U(N) gauge theories and string models on local Calabi-Yau manifolds. The main tool of our…
I discuss a proposed phase diagram of the cuprate superconductors as a function of temperature, carrier concentration, and a strong magnetic field perpendicular to the layers. I show how the phase diagram gives a unified interpretation of a…
Though commonly unrecognized, a superconducting BCS condensate consists of equal numbers of two-electron (2e) and two-hole (2h) Cooper pairs (CPs). A complete (in the sense that 2h-CPs are not ignored) boson-fermion statistical model,…
A significant part of the phase diagram of the two-dimensional fermionic Hubbard model for moderate interactions and filling factors ($U < 4, \, n<0.7$) is governed by effective Fermi liquid physics with weak BCS-type instabilities. We…
BPS equations and wall solutions are studied keeping (part of) supersymmetry (SUSY) manifest. Using N=1 superfields, massive hyper-Kahler quotient is introduced to obtain massive N=2 (8 SUSY) nonlinear sigma models in four dimensions with…
We study the QCD phase diagram using the linear sigma model coupled to quarks. We compute the effective potential at finite temperature and quark chemical potential up to ring diagrams contribution. We show that, provided the values for the…
We discuss the behavior of two non-supersymmetric chiral SU(N) gauge theories, involving fermions in the symmetric and antisymmetric two-index tensor representations respectively. In addition to global anomaly matching, we employ a recently…
Ultranarrow superconductors are in the strong quantum confinement regime with formation of multiple coherent condensates associated with the many subbands of the electronic structure. Here we analyze the multiband BCS-BEC crossover induced…

Several novel multi-component fermionic condensates show universal behavior under imbalance in the number of fermionic species. Here I discuss their phase structure, thermodynamics, and the transition from the weak (BCS) to strong (BEC)…
A model, based on classical mechanics and thermodynamics and valid for \textit{all} superconductors, is devised to investigate the properties of the \textit{current-driven}, superconducting to normal transition. This process is shown to be…
Stimulating a system with time dependent sources can enhance instabilities, thus increasing the critical temperature at which the system transitions to interesting low-temperature phases such as superconductivity or superfluidity. After…
We investigate the behavior of higher-form symmetries at various quantum phase transitions. We consider discrete 1-form symmetries, which can be either part of the generalized concept "categorical symmetry" (labelled as $\tilde{Z}_N^{(1)}$)…
We propose two possible experimental realizations of a 2+1 dimensional spacetime supersymmetry at a quantum critical point on the surface of three dimensional topological insulators. The quantum critical point between the semi-metallic…
