In this note we study four dimensional theories with N=3 superconformal symmetry, that do not also have N=4 supersymmetry. No examples of such theories are known, but their existence is also not ruled out. We analyze several properties that…

N=2, 4 and 8 supersymmetric string theories in four dimensional flat space-time have moduli space of vacua. We argue that starting from a theory where the moduli approach a particular moduli space point A at infinity, we can construct a…

We construct families of hyper-elliptic curves which describe the quantum moduli spaces of vacua of $N=2$ supersymmetric $SU(N_c)$ gauge theories coupled to $N_f$ flavors of quarks in the fundamental representation. The quantum moduli…

We present a set of equations for a 4D Killing spinor which guarantees the Seiberg-Witten theories on a curved background to be supersymmetric. The equations involve an SU(2) gauge field and some auxiliary fields in addition to the metric.…

Using gauge theory and functional integral methods, we derive concrete expressions for the partition functions of BF theory and the U(1|1) model of Rozansky and Saleur on $\Sigma x S^{1}$, both directly and using equivalent two-dimensional…

We study the partition functions of topologically twisted 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories on a hemisphere spacetime with boundary $HS^2 \times S^1$. We show that the partition function may be localised to either the Higgs branch or the…
