In the SO(N_c) gauge theory with N_f quarks for N_f=N_c-2, its instanton effects indicate the signal of dynamical flavor symmetry breakdown of SU(N_f) to SO(N_f), which is not described by the conventional "magnetic" degree's of freedom. It…
We study the renormalization of the nonlinear effective SU(2) Lagrangian up to $O(p^4)$ with spontaneous symmetry breaking. The Stueckelberg transformation, the background field gauge, the Schwinger proper time and heat kernel method, and…
The wave function in the quantum theory of the O(N) extended supersymmetric particle model describes a massless free field with spin N/2. This quantum theory is here exactly solved in terms of gauge fields in arbitrary even dimensions using…
We examine supersymmetric quantum mechanics on $SO(4)$ to realize Witten's idea. We find instanton solutions connecting approximate vacuums. We calculate Hessian matrices for these solutions to determine true vacuums. Our result is in…
We study the quantum mechanics of a system of topologically interacting particles in 2+1 dimensions, which is described by coupling the particles to a Chern-Simons gauge field of an inhomogeneous group. Analysis of the phase space shows…
We generalize our picture in [arXiv:0904.1744], and consider a pure abelian gauge theory on a four-manifold with nonlocal operators of every codimension arbitrarily and simultaneously inserted. We explicitly show that (i) the theory enjoys…
We use localization to compute the partition function of a four dimensional, supersymmetric, abelian gauge theory on a hemisphere coupled to charged matter on the boundary. Our theory has eight real supercharges in the bulk of which four…

We construct the duality groups for N=2 Supersymmetric QCD with gauge group SU(2n+1) and N_f=4n+2 hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. The groups are generated by two elements $S$ and $T$ that satisfy a relation…
We consider instanton effects in a non-supersymmetric gauge theory obtained by marginal deformations of the N=4 SYM. This gauge theory is expected to be dual to type IIB string theory on the AdS_5 times deformed-S^5 background. From an…
Interpreting the coordinates of the quantum Euclidean space R_q^4 [the SO_q(4)-covariant noncommutative space] as the entries of a ``q-quaternion matrix'' we construct (anti)instanton solutions of a would-be q-deformed su(2) Yang-Mills…
Eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the volume operator, associated with the symmetric coupling of three SU(2) angular momentum operators, can be analyzed on the basis of a discrete Schroedinger-like equation which provides a semiclassical…
We show that noncommutative gauge theory in two dimensions is an exactly solvable model. A cohomological formulation of gauge theory defined on the noncommutative torus is used to show that its quantum partition function can be written as a…
Motivated by recent studies on the resurgence structure of quantum field theories, we numerically study the nonperturbative phenomena of the SU($3$) gauge theory in a weak coupling regime. We find that topological objects with a fractional…

The simplest $N=2$ supersymmetric quantum mechanical system is realized in terms of the bosonic creation and annihilation operators obeying either ordinary or deformed Heisenberg algebra involving Klein operator. The construction comprises…
The supersymmetric flipped $SU(6)\times U(1)$ gauge symmetry can arise through compactification of the ten dimensional $E_8\times E_8$ superstring theory. We show how realistic phenomenology can emerge from this theory by supplementing it…
