We construct three-dimensional, $\mathcal{N}=1$ off-shell supersymmetric massive Yang-Mills (YM) theory, whose YM equation is "third way" consistent. This means that the field equations of this model do not come from variation of a local…

Single trace operators with the large R-charge in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory correspond to the null-surfaces in $AdS_5\times S^5$. We argue that the moduli space of the null-surfaces is the space of contours in the super-Grassmanian…
N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(n) (n>=3) is believed to have two exactly marginal deformations which break the supersymmetry to N=1. We discuss the construction of the string theory dual to these deformations, in…
