We consider configurations of six-branes, five-branes and eight-branes in various superstring backgrounds. These configurations give rise to $(0,1)$ supersymmetric theories in six dimensions. The condition for RR charge conservation of a…
We review exceptional field theories as the duality-covariant reformulation of maximal supergravity theories in ten and eleven dimensions, that make the underlying exceptional symmetries explicit. Beyond their structural role in unifying…
Supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions can display interesting non-perturbative phenomena. Although the superpotential dynamically generated by these phenomena can be highly nontrivial, it can often be exactly determined. We…
We study the properties of section conditions of the E7(7) exceptional field theory from the perspective of superparticle model in N=8 D=4 superspace enlarged by additional bosonic coordinates related to the central charge of the maximal…
We study (non-renormalizable) five dimensional supersymmetric field theories. The theories are parametrized by quark masses and a gauge coupling. We derive the metric on the Coulomb branch exactly. We use stringy considerations to learn…
Motivated by recent discussions of fractons, we explore nonrelativistic field theories with a continuous global symmetry, whose charge is a spatial vector. We present several such symmetries and demonstrate them in concrete examples. They…
We present a counter-example to the recent claim that supermultiplets of N-extended supersymmetry with no central charge and in 1-dimension are specified unambiguously by providing the numbers of component fields in all available…
We list defining relations for the four of the five exceptional simple Lie superalgebras some of which, as David Broadhurst conjectured and Kac demonstrated, may pertain to The Standard Model or Grand unified theories of elementary…
We introduce a class of four dimensional field theories constructed by quotienting ordinary $\mathcal{N}=4$ $U(N)$ SYM by particular combinations of R-symmetry and $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ automorphisms. These theories appear naturally on the…
Examples of nonsingular cosmological models are presented on the basis of exact solutions to multidimensional gravity equations. These examples involve pure imaginary scalar fields, or, in other terms, ``phantom'' fields with an unusual…
We consider a non trivial solution to the section condition in the context of $\mathbb{R}^{+}\times E_{3(3)}$ exceptional field theory and show that allowing fields to depend on the additional stringy coordinates of the extended internal…
We propose descriptions of interacting (1,0) supersymmetric theories without gravity in six dimensions in the infinite momentum frame. They are based on the large N limit of quantum mechanics or 1+1 dimensional field theories with SO(N)…
The five simple exceptional complex Lie superalgbras of vector fields are described. One of them is new; the other four are explicitely described for the first time. All of the exceptional Lie superalgebras are obtained with the help of the…
Special geometry is most known from 4-dimensional N=2 supergravity, though it contains also quaternionic and real geometries. In this review, we first repeat the connections between the various special geometries. Then the constructions are…
For every natural number $m$, the existentially closed models of the theory of fields with $m$ commuting derivations can be given a first-order geometric characterization in several ways. In particular, the theory of these differential…
We construct an infinite system of non-linear duality equations, including fermions, that are invariant under global E11 and gauge invariant under generalised diffeomorphisms upon the imposition of a suitable section constraint. We use…
We introduce the supersymmetric version of YM-like theories with infinitely many spin fields in 4 dimension. The construction is carried out via the superfield method. The surprising feature of these models is that they describe in…
In theories with chiral couplings, one of the important consistency requirements is that of the cancellation of a gauge anomaly. In particular, this is one of the conditions imposed on the hypercharges in the Standard Model. However,…
The low energy structures of N=1 supersymmetric models with E_6, F_4 and E_7 gauge groups and fundamental irrep matter contents are studied herein. We identify sets of gauge invariant composites which label all flat directions in the…
We consider a theory of scalar superfields in two dimensions with arbitrary superpotential. By imposing no particle production in tree level scattering, we constrain the form of the admissible interactions, recovering a supersymmetric…
