I give an account of the discovery of supergravity and the first six years of its development which lead to the most general coupling of supergravity to matter. I restrict the discussion to theories with only one supersymmetry that are in…
We present a survey of the many and various elements of the modern higher-dimensional theory of quasiconformal mappings and their wide and varied application. It is unified (and limited) by the theme of the author's interests. Thus we will…
This is an elementary introduction to basic tools of supersymmetry: the spacetime symmetries, gauge theory and its application in gravity, spinors and superalgebras. Special attention is devoted to conformal and anti-de Sitter algebras.
In this survey we discuss how geometric methods can be used to study topological properties of 3-manifolds such as their Heegaard genus or the rank of their fundamental group. On the other hand, we also discuss briefly some results relating…
The purpose of my PhD thesis is to investigate different group theoretical and geometrical aspects of supergravity theories. To this aim, several research topics are explored: On one side, the construction of supergravity models in diverse…
We discuss certain ternary algebraic structures appearing more or less naturally in various domains of theoretical and mathematical physics. Far from being exhaustive, this article is intended above all to draw attention to these algebras,…
The first section of this modest survey reviews some basic notions and describes some families of examples, and the second section briefly indicates some general aspects of analysis on metric spaces. The remaining three sections are…
We introduce some early considerations of physical and mathematical impossibility as preludes to the Goedel incompleteness theorems. We consider some informal aspects of these theorems and their underlying assumptions and discuss some the…
These notes are intended to provide an introduction to supersymmetry. The notes begin with supersymmetric quantum mechanics and the basic properties of spinor fields. The supersymmetry of simple theories of spin-zero and spin-one-half…
The paper has a form of a talk on the given topic. It consists of three parts. The first part of the paper contains main notions, the second one is devoted to logical geometry, the third part describes types and isotypeness. The problems…
We reformulate superalgebra and supergeometry in completely categorical terms by a consequent use of the functor of points. The increased abstraction of this approach is rewarded by a number of great advantages. First, we show that one can…
Most modern theoretical considerations of the physical world suggest that nature is: (1) field-theoretic, (2) smooth, (3) local, (4) gauged, (5) containing fermions, and (6) non-perturbative. Tautologous as this may sound to experts, it is…
In this paper we talk about the so-called SuperMathematics Functions (SMF), which often constiture the base for generating technical neo-geometrical objects.
This is a review of the theoretical aspects of the supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model of particle physics, extracted from Chapter 87 of the 2026 Review of Particle Physics, F. Takahashi et al. (Particle Data Group), Int. J. Mod.…
The maximal supergravity theory in three dimensions, which has local SO(16) and rigid $E_8$ symmetries, is discussed in a superspace setting starting from an off-shell superconformal structure. The on-shell theory is obtained by imposing…
We consider some simple examples of supersymmetric quantum mechanical systems and explore their possible geometric interpretation with the help of geometric aspects of real Clifford algebras. This leads to natural extensions of the…
We study geometry and topology as complementary and dual aspects of the mathematical space. The same is used to get a better understanding of the Cosmological Constant. Having failed so far to include gravity in a proper unified framework…
Nous presentons une introduction aux concepts de la supersymetrie par l'intermediaire de trois exemples: (i) Mecanique quantique supersymetrique, (ii) Superalgebres de Lie, (iii) Superconnexions de Quillen. Les points communs a toutes ces…
Super coset spaces play an important role in the formulation of supersymmetric theories. The aim of this paper is to review and discuss the geometry of super coset spaces with particular focus on the way the geometrical structures of the…
For the first time, we have introduced the concept of N-groups, N-semigroups, N-loops, and N-groupoids. We also define a mixed N-algebraic structure. The main aim of this book is to attract young mathematicians to this interesting field. It…
