We discuss the connection between supersymmetric field theories and topological field theories and show how this connection may be used to construct local lattice field theories which maintain an exact supersymmetry. It is shown how metric…
It has been understood that correlation functions of multi-trace operators in ${\cal N}=4$ SYM can be neatly computed using the group algebra of symmetric groups or walled Brauer algebras. On the other hand such algebras have been known to…
We introduce a class of 2D lattice models that describe the dynamics of intertwiners, or, in a condensed matter interpretation, the fusion and splitting of anyons. We identify different families and instances of triangulation invariant,…
Novel 3+1 dimensional N=2 superconformal field theories (with tensionless BPS string solitons) are believed to arise when two sets of M5 branes intersect over a 3+1 dimensional hyperplane. We derive a DLCQ description of these theories as…
We emphasize the necessity of a delicate interplay between the gauge and gravitational sectors of five-dimensional brane worlds in creating phenomenologically relevant vacua. We discuss locally supersymmetric brane worlds with unflipped and…
Supersymmetry plays prominent roles in the study of quantum field theory and in many proposals for potential new physics beyond the standard model, while lattice field theory provides a non-perturbative regularization suitable for strongly…
This thesis treats several topics in the study of extra-dimensional models of the world, concerning Heterotic M-Theory and the dynamics of branes. We describe a reduction to five dimensions, over a Calabi-Yau manifold, of an improved…
In this paper we study the representation theory for certain ``half lattice vertex algebras.'' In particular we construct a large class of irreducible modules for these vertex algebras. We also discuss how the representation theory of these…
In this white paper we summarise the construction and applications of lattice theories possessing exact supersymmetry focusing, in particular, on N=4 Yang-Mills theory. Lattice formulations of this theory allow for numerical simulation of…
We identify the 4D field theories living on the world volume of D4 branes in non-supersymmetric type IIA string theory constructions. They are softly broken N=2 SQCD with the breakings introduced through vevs of the auxilliary fields in the…
Dimer models (also known as brane tilings) are special bipartite graphs on a torus $\mathbb{T}^2$. They encode the structure of the 4d $\mathcal{N} = 1$ worldvolume theories of D3 branes probing toric affine Calabi-Yau singularities.…
We study lens partitions functions for the three-dimensional $ N=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories on $S_b^3/Zr$. We consider an equality as a new hyperbolic hypergeometric solution to the star-star relation via the gauge/YBE correspondence.…
We present several new examples of nontrivial 4d N=1 superconformal field theories. Some of these theories exhibit exotic global symmetries, including non-simply laced groups (such as $F_4$). They are obtained by studying threebrane probes…
We present a matrix model which interpolates between type IIA and type IIB NS five-branes. The matrix description involves a three-dimensional bulk quantum field theory interacting with impurities localized in one spatial direction. We…
We show that recently proposed linear sigma models with torsion can be obtained from unconventional branches of conventional gauge theories. This observation puts models with log interactions on firm footing. If non-anomalous multiplets are…
We show how to construct Hamiltonian lattice theories with one exact supersymmetry on arbitrary triangulations of curved space in any number of dimensions. Both bosons and fermions satisfy discrete K\"{a}hler-Dirac equations. The…
We briefly review recent developments in the theory of supermembranes and supermatrix models. In a second part we discuss their interaction with background fields. In particular, we present the full background field coupling for the bosonic…
It is shown that Einstein's equations on the brane can be received from the multi-dimensional vector field equations in pseudo-Euclidean space. The idea is based on the observation that the brane geometry can be equivalently described by…
We review recent results on Integrable Discrete Geometry. It turns out that most of the known (continuous and/or discrete) integrable systems are particular symmetries of the quadrilateral lattice, a multidimensional lattice characterized…
We construct lattice action for three-dimensional ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric gauge theory with matter fields in the fundamental representation.
