The method of nonlinear realizations is applied for the conformally invariant description of the spinning particles in terms of geometrical quantities of the parameter spaces of the one dimensional N - extended superconformal groups. We…
We generalise the notions of supersymmetry and superspace by allowing generators and coordinates transforming according to more general Lorentz representations than the spinorial and vectorial ones of standard lore. This yields novel…
We calculate the most general terms for arbitrary Lagrangians of twisted chiral superfields in 2D (2,2) supersymmetric theories [1]. The scalar and fermion kinetic terms and interactions are given explicitly. We define a set of twisted…
Generically coupled neutral scalar bosons and chiral fermions are shown, in the eikonal kinematical limit, to be described by a reduced (free field) theory with N=1 {\it on-shell} supersymmetry. {\it Charged} scalars and spinors turn out to…
A geometry of superspace corresponding to double field theory is developed, with type II supergravity in D=10 as the main example. The formalism is based on an orthosymplectic extension OSp(d,d|2s) of the continuous T-duality group.…
The two-loop chiral measure for superstring theories compactified on $\bZ_2$ reflection orbifolds is constructed from first principles for even spin structures. This is achieved by a careful implementation of the chiral splitting procedure…
We study supersymmetric $SU(N-4)$ gauge theories with a symmetric tensor and $N$ antifundamental representations. The theory with $W=0$ has a dual description in terms of a non-chiral $Spin(8)$ theory with one spinor and $N$ vectors. This…
A second rank antisymmetric tensor field is proposed as an alternative to the Higgs scalar. No mass term is allowed by the symmetries. At the scale where the asymptotically free chiral couplings of the fermions grow large, condensates of…
For a wide range of supersymmetric models, there is a chiral superfield whose scalar and pseudo-scalar have approximately degenerate masses and couplings to Standard Model particles. At colliders, they may show up as "superbumps": a pair of…
Chiral shift symmetries of the massless free bosons in two dimensions are global symmetries that are somewhat similar to asymptotic symmetries. They are most transparent in double-null coordinates where they are parametrized by two…
We present an attempt to formulate the supersymmetric and relativistic quantum mechanics in the sense of realizing supersymmetry on the single particle level, by utilizing the equations of motion which is equivalent to the ordinary 2nd…
We consider a supersymmetric Bogomolny-type model in 2+1 dimensions originating from twistor string theory. By a gauge fixing this model is reduced to a modified U(n) chiral model with N<=8 supersymmetries in 2+1 dimensions. After a…
We construct a ``pseudo-supersymmetric" fermionic extension of the effective action of the bosonic string in arbitrary spacetime dimension D. The theory is invariant under pseudo-supersymmetry transformations up to the quadratic fermion…
In these lectures we discuss the supersymmetry algebra and its irreducible representations. We construct the theories of rigid supersymmetry and gave their superspace formulations. The perturbative quantum properties of the extended…
Following a strictly geometric approach we construct globally supersymmetric scalar field theories on the supersphere, defined as the quotient space $S^{2|2} = UOSp(1|2)/\mathcal{U}(1)$. We analyze the superspace geometry of the…
In this work, we propose a novel framework for defining the dual structure of a spinor. This construction relies on the basis elements of the Clifford algebra, leading to a covariant structure that embeds the dual. The formulation includes…
Various nonsupersymmetric theories at large but finite $N$ are argued to permit light scalars and large hierarchies without fine-tuning. In a dual string description, the hierarchy results from competition between classical and quantum…
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 obtain a minimal supersymmetric extension of the Snyder algebra and study its representations. The construction differs from the general approach given in Hatsuda and Siegel ({\tt hep-th/0311002}), and does not utilize super-de Sitter…
The seesaw mechanism, which is responsible for the description of neutrino masses and mixing, requires a scale lower than the unification scale. We propose a new model with spinor superfields playing important roles to generate this seesaw…
