In this thesis we study embedding formalisms for $\mathcal{N}$-extended anti-de Sitter (AdS) superspaces in four and five dimensions. Specifically, building on earlier work in the four-dimensional case, we develop bi-supertwistor…
An M-theory constructed in an eleven-dimensional supermanifold with a <>-product of field operators is shown to have a de Sitter space solution. Possible implications of this result for cosmology are mentioned.
We start by describing how ideal triangulations on a surface degenerate under pinching of a multicurve. We use this process to construct a homomorphism from the Ptolemy groupoid of a surface to that of a pinched surface which is natural…
In this paper, we introduce a new asymmetric weak metric on the Teichm{\"u}ller space of a closed orientable surface with (possibly empty) punctures.This new metric, which we call the Teichm{\"u}ller-Randers metric, is an asymmetric…
We quantize odd dimensional anti-de Sitter spaces by applying the method of deforming contact manifolds proposed by Rajeev. The construction in the present paper consists of the identification of the odd dimensional anti-de Sitter space as…
We construct the anti-de Sitter supergravity in three dimensions associated with the supergroup $SU(1,1|2)\times SU(1,1|2)$. The field content and the action are inferred using the fact that $AdS$ supergravity theories in three dimensions…
In a supergravity framework, the $\cal N$-extended anti-de Sitter (AdS) superspace in four spacetime dimensions, $\text{AdS}^{4|4\cal N} $, is a maximally symmetric background that is described by a curved superspace geometry with structure…
Different geometrical and topological properties have been shown for two kinds of extreme Reissner-Nordstr$\ddot{o}$m-anti-de Sitter black holes. The relationship between the geometrical properties and the intrinsic thermodynamical…
A geometric interpretation of the spontaneous symmetry breaking effect, which plays a key role in the Standard Model, is developed. The advocated approach is related to the effective use of the momentum 4-spaces of the constant curvature,…
We present two examples of SUSY mechanics related with K\"ahler geometry. The first system is the N=4 supersymmetric one-dimensional sigma-model proposed in hep-th/0101065. Another system is the N=2 SUSY mechanics whose phase space is the…
In this thesis, we report on different aspects of integrability in supersymmetric gauge theories. The main tool of investigation is twistor geometry. In trying to be self-contained, we first present a brief review about the basics of…
We continue the study of the analogue of Thurston's metric on the Teichm{\"u}ller space of Euclidean triangle which was started by Saglam and Papadopoulos in [1].By direct calculation, we give explicit expressions of the distance function…
In this paper, the long-time existence and convergence results are derived for locally constrained flows with initial value some compact spacelike hypersurface that is suitably pinched in the de Sitter space. As applications, geometric…
In this paper, we study a two-dimensional Lorentzian problem on the anti-de Sitter plane. Using methods of geometric control theory and differential geometry, it was possible to construct an orthonormal frame, calculate extremal…
We investigate solutions that are dynamically evolving between asymptotically de Sitter and asymptotically anti-de Sitter regions in the context of Einstein gravity coupled to general matter fields in d dimensions. We demonstrate the…
In this paper we explore the idea that Teichm\"uller space is hyperbolic "on average." Our approach focuses on studying the geometry of geodesics which spend a definite proportion of time in some thick part of Teichm\"uller space. We…
In this paper, we determine the type numbers of the pseudo-hyperbolic Gauss maps of all oriented Lorentzian surfaces of constant mean and Gaussian curvatures and non-diagonalizable shape operator in the $3$-dimensional anti-de Sitter space.…
For spacelike stationary (i.e. zero mean curvature) surfaces in 4-dimensional Lorentz space one can naturally introduce two Gauss maps and Weierstrass representation. In this paper we investigate their global geometry systematically. The…
New no-scale supergravity models with F-term SUSY breaking are introduced, adopting Kaehler potentials parameterizing flat or curved (compact or non-compact) Kaehler manifolds. We systematically derive the form of the superpotentials…
