We consider the dynamics of the motion of a particle of mass M and spin J in AdS_3. The study reveals the presence of different dynamical sectors depending on the relative values of M, J and the AdS_3 radius R. For the subcritical M^2…
The most general 2+1 dimensional spinning particle model is considered. The action functional may involve all the possible first order Poincare invariants of world lines, and the particular class of actions is specified thus the…
Employing the coset approach we construct component actions for a superparticle moving in AdS$_3$ with $N{=}(2,0)$, $D{=}3$ supersymmetry partially broken to $N{=}2$, $d{=}1$. These actions may contain higher time-derivative terms, which…

We study in more detail the dynamics of chiral primaries of the D1/D5 system. From the CFT given by the $S_{n}$ orbifold a study of correlators resulted in an interacting (collective) theory of chiral operators. In $AdS_{3}\times S^{3}$…
We investigate the nonlinear realization of partially broken $N$=2 global supersymmetry in the D=2 and 3 anti de-Sitter (AdS) space. We particularly study Nambu-Goldstone degrees of freedom for the $N$=2 AdS supersymmetry partially broken…
It is known that one can define a consistent theory of extended, $N=2$ anti-de Sitter (AdS) Supergravity (SUGRA) in $D=4$. Besides the standard gravitational part, this theory involves a single $U(1)$ gauge field and a pair of Majorana…
