Over the $(1,n)$-dimensional real supercircle, we consider the $\mathcal{K}(n)$-modules of linear differential operators, $\frak{D}^n_{\lambda,\mu}$, acting on the superspaces of weighted densities, where $\mathcal{K}(n)$ is the Lie…

We elaborate on a novel model of N=4 supersymmetric mechanics with extra spin variables. A dynamical linear (1,4,3) multiplet is coupled to a "semi-dynamical" linear (3,4,1) multiplet representing spin degrees of freedom in a Wess-Zumino…

Let $n\ge 2$ be an integer. To each irreducible representation $\sigma$ of $\mathrm O(1)$, an $\mathrm {O}(1)$-Kepler problem in dimension $n$ is constructed and analyzed. This system is super integrable and when $n=2$ it is equivalent to a…

For $n \geq 2$ consider the affine Lie algebra $\widehat{s\ell}(n)$ with simple roots $\{\alpha_i \mid 0 \leq i \leq n-1\}$. Let $V(k\Lambda_0), \, k \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1}$ denote the integrable highest weight $\widehat{s\ell}(n)$-module…

We show that nuclear interactions are SU(4) symmetric at leading order in chiral perturbation theory in the large-N limit of QCD. The nucleons and delta resonances form a 20-dimensional representation of SU(4) and we show how Wigner's…

We use the manifestly N=2 supersymmetric, off-shell, harmonic (or twistor) superspace approach to solve the constraints implied by four-dimensional N=2 superconformal symmetry on the N=2 non-linear sigma-model target space, known as the…

A new supersymmetrization of the so-called AdS-Lorentz algebra is presented. It involves two fermionic generators and is obtained by performing an abelian semigroup expansion of the superalgebra osp(4|1). The peculiar properties of the…

We explore $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric extensions of algebras going beyond the Poincar\'e and AdS ones in three spacetime dimensions. Besides reproducing two known examples, we present new superalgebras, which all correspond to…

We develop the derivative expansion of the one-loop ${\cal N}=4$ SYM effective action depending both on ${\cal N}=2$ vector multiplet and on hypermultiplet background fields. We get a new derivation of the complete ${\cal N}=4$…

We study the operator product expansions in the chiral algebra $\mathcal{W}_{\infty}$, first using the associativity conditions in the basis of primary generating fields and second using a different basis coming from the free field…

We explicitly construct the extension of the N=2 super Virasoro algebra by two super primary fields of dimension two and three with vanishing u(1)-charge. Using a super covariant formalism we obtain two different solutions both consistent…

We introduce a family of 3d $\mathcal{N} = 4$ superconformal field theories that have zero-dimensional Coulomb and Higgs branches and propose that the rational vertex operator algebras $W^{\text{min}}_{k -…

We consider strong 't Hooft coupling expansion in special four-dimensional $\mathcal N=2$ superconformal models that are planar-equivalent to $\mathcal N=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. Various observables in these models that admit…

Coset constructions of $\mathcal{W}$-algebras have many applications, and were recently given for principal $\mathcal{W}$-algebras of $A$, $D$, and $E$ types by Arakawa together with the first and third authors. In this paper, we give coset…

We realize off-shell, local and gauge invariant $N=8$ supergravity in $D=4$, to cubic order in fields, as the double copy of $N=4$ super Yang-Mills theory (SYM). Employing the homotopy algebra approach, we show that, thanks to a redundant…

We use the matrix model to describe the N=2 SO(N)/Sp(N) supersymmetric gauge theories with massive hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. By taking the tree level superpotential perturbation made of a polynomial of a scalar…

We analyze the four-point function of stress-tensor multiplets for the 6d quantum field theory with $OSp(8^*|4)$ symmetry which is conjectured to be dual to M-theory on $AdS_7 \times S^4$, and deduce the leading correction to the tree-level…

We consider g coincident M-5-branes on top of each other, in the KK monopole background Q of multiplicity N. The worldvolume of each M-5-brane is supposed to be given by the local product of the four-dimensional spacetime and an elliptic…

The set of dynamic symmetries of the scalar free Schr\"odinger equation in d space dimensions gives a realization of the Schr\"odinger algebra that may be extended into a representation of the conformal algebra in d+2 dimensions, which…

We consider the harmonic-superspace formalism in the $N=4$ supersymmetry using the $SU(4)/SU(2)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ harmonics which was earlier applied to the abelian gauge theory. The N=4 non-abelian constraints in a standard…
