We study N=2 spontaneous supersymmetry breaking at two different scales with matter fields in hypermultiplets charged under the gauge group that should involve at least two U(1) factors. Off-shell analysis is possible in the dual…
In this note we discuss several properties of the Schur index of N=2 superconformal theories in four dimensions. In particular, we study modular properties of this index under SL(2,Z) transformations of its parameters.
We address the problem of classifying all N=2 supercurrent multiplets in four space-time dimensions. For this purpose we consider the minimal formulation of N=2 Poincare supergravity with a tensor compensator, and derive its linearized…
A Lagrangian of the topological field theory is found in the twisted osp(2|2)\oplus osp(2|2)conformal super algebra. The reduction on a moduli space is then elaborated through the vanishing Noether current.
In this paper we develop the formalism to study superforms in N=2 harmonic superspace. We perform a thorough (if not complete) analysis of the superforms starting from 0-form and moving all the way up to 6-form. Like the N=1 case we find…
We show that the recently discovered Mathieu moonshine plays a role for certain four dimensional theories with $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry. These theories are obtained from the $E_8 \times E_8$ heterotic string theory by compactifying on…
We show that trace functions on modules of topological N=2 super vertex algebras give rise to conformal blocks on elliptic supercurves. We show that they satisfy a system of linear partial differential equations with respect to the modular…

We study the instanton partition functions of two well-known superconformal field theories with mass deformations. Two types of anomaly equations, namely, the modular anomaly and holomorphic anomaly, have been discovered in the literature.…
We review the general gauged N=2 supergravity coupled to an arbitrary number of vector multiplets and hypermultiplets. We consider two different models where N=2 supersymmetry is broken to N=1 spontaneously, one has a U(1) vector multiplet…
We study the non-perturbative properties of N=2 super conformal field theories in four dimensions using localization techniques. In particular we consider SU(2) gauge theories, deformed by a generic epsilon-background, with four fundamental…
It is shown that extremal magnetic black hole solutions of N = 2 supergravity coupled to vector multiplets $X^\Lambda$ with a generic holomorphic prepotential $F(X^\Lambda)$ can be described as supersymmetric solitons which interpolate…
We prove that the existence of a strongly reflective modular form of a large weight implies that the Kodaira dimension of the corresponding modular variety is negative or, in some special case, it is equal to zero. Using the Jacobi lifting…
Massive tensor multiplets have recently been scrutinized in hep-th/0410051 and hep-th/0410149, as they appear in orientifold compactifications of type IIB string theory. Here we formulate several dually equivalent models for massive N = 1,…
We present a new conformal algebra. It is Z2 x Z2 graded and generated by three N=1 superconformal algebras coupled to each other by nontrivial relations of parafermionic type. The representation theory and unitary models of the algebra are…
The multi-indexed Jacobi polynomials are the main part of the eigenfunctions of exactly solvable quantum mechanical systems obtained by certain deformations of the P\"oschl-Teller potential (Odake-Sasaki). By fine-tuning the parameter(s) of…

The off-shell description of N=(2,2) supersymmetric non-linear sigma-models is reviewed. The conditions for ultra-violet finiteness are derived and T-duality is discussed in detail.
We propose a simple method for constructing representations of (super)conformal and nonlinear W-type algebras in terms of their subalgebras and corresponding Nambu-Goldstone fields. We apply it to N=2 and N=1 superconformal algebras and…
It is shown that the N=2 superconformal transformations are restricted N=1 supergauge transformations of a supergauge theory with Osp(2,2) as a gauge group. Based on this result, a canonical derivation of the Osp(2,2) current algebra in the…
