The D-instanton expansion of the topological B-model on the supermanifold CP(3|4) reproduces the perturbative expansion of N=4 Super Yang-Mills theory. In this paper we consider orbifolds in the fermionic directions of CP(3|4). This…
We show that the ABJM theory, which is an N=6 superconformal U(N)*U(N) Chern-Simons gauge theory, can be studied for arbitrary N at arbitrary coupling constant by applying a simple Monte Carlo method to the matrix model that can be derived…
We demonstrate that the four and six-point tree-level amplitudes of N=6 superconformal Chern-Simons theory (ABJM) enjoy OSp(6|4) dual superconformal symmetry if one enlarges the dual superspace to include three additional Grassmann-even…
We present a model of supersymmetric non-Abelian Chern-Simons theories in three-dimensions with arbitrarily many supersymmetries, called alephnull-extended supersymmetry. The number of supersymmetry N equals the dimensionality of any…
We construct anomaly free non-supersymmetric large N gauge theories from orientifolds of Type IIB on C^3/G orbifolds. In particular, massless as well as tachyonic one-loop tadpoles are cancelled in these models. This is achieved by starting…
This is a companion paper of a long work appeared in [1] discussing the super-Chern-Simons theory on supermanifolds. Here, it is emphasized that the BV formalism is naturally formulated using integral forms for any supersymmetric and…
The partition function of N=6 supersymmetric Chern-Simons-matter theory (known as ABJM theory) on S^3, as well as certain Wilson loop observables, are captured by a zero dimensional super-matrix model. This super-matrix model is closely…
In this paper, we will analyse a three dimensional supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory in SIM(1) superspace formalism. The breaking of the Lorentz symmetry down to the SIM(1) symmetry, breaks half the supersymmetry of the Lorentz invariant…
We propose a generating function for scattering amplitudes of N=6 super-Chern-Simons theory which parallels a recent work on N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory by Arkani-Hamed et al. Our result suggests that the scattering amplitudes of the…
In the localization of 5-dimensional N = 1 super-Yang-Mills, contact-instantons arise as non-perturbative contributions. In this note, we revisit such configurations and discuss their generalizations. We propose for contact-instantons a…
In this paper we continue the study of the model proposed in the previous paper hep-th/0002077. The model consist of a system of extended objects of diverse dimensionalities, with or without boundaries, with actions of the Chern-Simons form…
We give a modern geometric viewpoint on anomalies in quantum field theory and illustrate it in a 1-dimensional theory: supersymmetric quantum mechanics. This is background for the resolution of worldsheet anomalies in orientifold…
We study the partition function Z of U(N)_k x U(N)_{-k} Chern-Simons matter theory (ABJM theory) on S^3 which is recently obtained by the localization method. We evaluate the eigenvalue integral in Z exactly for the N=2 case. We find that Z…
We deform classical holomorphic Chern--Simons theory on a Calabi--Yau three-fold $X$ by deforming the complex structure by a deformation parameter $h \in\mathscr{H}^{0,1}(T^{1,0}X)$. The corresponding equations of motion admit new…
In this paper we study supersymmetric Chern-Simons-matter (CSM) theories with several Higgs branches. Two such theories at small Chern-Simons level are conjectured to describe the superconformal field theory at the infrared fixed point of N…
Making use of ansatzs for the form fields in the 10d type IIA supergravity version of the ABJM model, we come with a solution in the Euclidean signature recognized as a monopole instanton-like object. Indeed we will see that we can have a…
We discuss non-perturbative effects in the ABJM model due to monopole instantons. We begin by constructing the instanton solutions in the $U(2)\times U(2)$ model, explicitly, and computing the Euclidean action. The Wick-rotated Lagrangian…
We found a quantum cohomology/homology of quantum Hall effect which arises as the invariant property of the Chern-Simons theory of quantum Hall effect and showed that it should be equivalent to the quantum cohomology which arose as the…
We study the partition function of the N=6 supersymmetric U(N_1)_k x U(N_2)_{-k} Chern-Simons-matter (CSM) theory, also known as the ABJ theory. For this purpose, we first compute the partition function of the U(N_1) x U(N_2) lens space…
Non-supersymmetric orbifolds of N=1 super Yang-Mills theories are conjectured to inherit properties from their supersymmetric parent. We examine this conjecture by compactifying the Z_2 orbifold theories on a spatial circle of radius R. We…
