The commutation relations of the composite fields are studied in the 3, 2 and 1 space dimensions. It is shown that the field of an atom consisting of a nucleus and an electron fields satisfies, in the space-like asymptotic limit, the…
We present a complete study of a family of tachyonic scalar fields living on the de Sitter universe. We show that for an infinite set of discrete values of the negative squared mass the fields exhibit a gauge symmetry and there exists for…
For a special value of the mass, a massive graviton on de Sitter space acquires an enhanced scalar gauge symmetry, and is called partially massless. The partially massless graviton possesses a duality invariance akin to electromagnetic…
Supersymmetric bosonic backgrounds governed by first-order BPS equations, can be realised in a much broader setting by relaxing the requirement of closure of the superalgebra beyond the level of quadratic fermion terms. The resulting…
We determine the $d+1$ dimensional topological field theory, which encodes the higher-form symmetries and their 't Hooft anomalies for $d$-dimensional QFTs obtained by compactifying M-theory on a non-compact space $X$. The resulting theory,…
We study q-stars with various symmetries in anti de Sitter spacetime in 3+1 dimensions. Comparing with the case of flat spacetime, we find that the value of the field at the center of the soliton is larger when the other parameters show a…
Nonlinear supersymmetry is characterized by supercharges to be higher order in bosonic momenta of a system, and thus has a nature of a hidden symmetry. We review some aspects of nonlinear supersymmetry and related to it exotic supersymmetry…
We present the basic $\mathcal{N} =1$ superconformal field theories in four-dimensional de Sitter space-time, namely the non-abelian super Yang-Mills theory and the chiral multiplet theory with gauge interactions or cubic superpotential.…
We investigate de Sitter/conformal field theory (dS/CFT) correspondence in two dimensions. We define the conserved mass of de Sitter spacetime and formulate the correspondence along the lines of anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory…
We find a class of (2+1)-dimensional spacetimes admitting Killing spinors appropriate to (2,0) adS-supergravity. The vacuum spacetimes include anti-de Sitter (adS) space and charged extreme black holes, but there are many others, including…
Free massless higher-superspin superfields on the N=1, D=4 anti-de Sitter superspace are introduced. The linearized gauge transformations are postulated. Two families of dually equivalent gauge-invariant action functionals are constructed…
We consider a self-interacting scalar field whose mass saturates the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound, minimally coupled to Einstein gravity with a negative cosmological constant in D \geq 3 dimensions. It is shown that the asymptotic behavior…
This article describes some geometric invariants and conformal anomalies for conformally compact Einstein manifolds and their minimal submanifolds which have recently been discovered via the Anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory…

Free AdS(5) mixed-symmetry massless bosonic and fermionic gauge fields of arbitrary spins are described by using su(2,2) spinor language. Manifestly covariant action functionals are constructed and field equations are derived.
We study the condition for the appearance of space-time supercharges in twisted sectors of asymmetric orbifold models. We present a list of the asymmetric $Z_N$-orbifold models which satisfy a simple condition necessary for the appearance…
Exact supersymmetry can be maintained on nonanticommutative superspace with a twisted coproduct on the supergroup.We show that the usual exchange statistics for the superfields is not compatible with the twisted action of the superpoincare…
We study the pole-skipping structure of incoming waves near the cosmic horizon $r=r_c$ in de Sitter (dS) spacetime. We find that the scalar field with spin-0, the Dirac field with spin-1/2, the Maxwell field with spin-1, the…
We study a noninteracting supersymmetric model in de Sitter spacetime. Supersymmetry breaking induces a nonzero vacuum energy density. A short distance cut-off of the order of Planck length provides a matching between the vacuum energy…
