Sigma models on coset superspaces, such as odd dimensional superspheres, play an important role in physics and in particular the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this work we apply recent general results on the spectrum of coset space models and…
We probe the 3d-3d correspondence for mapping cylinder/torus using the superconformal index. We focus on the case when the fiber is a once-punctured torus (\Sigma_{1,1}). The corresponding 3d field theories can be realized using duality…

We study supersymmetric Wilson loop operators in four-dimensional N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. We show that the contour of a supersymmetric Wilson loop is either an orbit of some conformal transformation of the space-time (case I), or an…

The K3 sigma model based on the Z_2-orbifold of the D_4-torus theory is studied. It is shown that it has an equivalent description in terms of twelve free Majorana fermions, or as a rational conformal field theory based on the affine…

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…
One-dimensional sigma-models with N supersymmetries are considered. For conventional supersymmetries there must be N-1 complex structures satisfying a Clifford algebra and the constraints on the target space geometry can be formulated in…
This paper is to study vertex operator superalgebras which are strongly generated by their weight-$2$ and weight-$\frac{3}{2}$ homogeneous subspaces. Among the main results, it is proved that if such a vertex operator superalgebra $V$ is…

In this paper, we extend the concept of Lie superalgebras to a more generalized framework called Super-Lie superalgebras. In addition, they seem to be exploring various supergeneralizations of other algebraic structures, such as…
We present simple models of N=4 supersymmetric mechanics with ordinary and mirror linear (4,4,0) multiplets that give a transparent description of HKT, CKT, and OKT geometries. These models are treated in the N=4 and N=2 superfield…
We study a supersymmetric theory twisted on a K\"ahler four manifold $M=\Sigma_1 \times \Sigma_2 ,$ where $\Sigma_{1,2}$ are 2D Riemann surfaces. We demonstrate that it possesses a "left-moving" conformal stress tensor on $\Sigma_1$…
This is a brief review of my work on the correspondence between four-dimensional $\mathcal{N} = 1$ supersymmetric field theories realized by brane tilings and two-dimensional integrable lattice models. I explain how to construct integrable…
