We extend the method of differential renormalization to massive quantum field theories treating in particular $\ph4$-theory and QED. As in the massless case, the method proves to be simple and powerful, and we are able to find, in…
I describe recent progress towards a theory of the NN force which captures the consequences of QCD's chiral symmetry and the pattern of its breaking, and is formulated as an expansion in a ratio of low and high mass scales, M_{lo}/M_{hi}.…
We study local superspace contributions to low-energy effective action in general chiral three-dimensional superfield model. The effective Kahler and chiral potentials are computed in explicit form up to the two-loop order. In accordance…

In the $\mathcal{N}=2$, $d=3$ superspace, we consider a higher-derivative generalization of the supersymmetric quantum electrodynamics, where the higher-derivative operator is a polynomial function of the d'Alembertian with arbitrary…
We discuss integrating out matter fields and integrating in matter fields in four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories. Highly nontrivial exact superpotentials can be easily obtained by starting from a known theory and integrating in…
A new four-dimensional $N=1$ superfield model is suggested. The model is induced by supertrace anomaly of matter superfields in curved superspace and leads to effective theory of supergravity chiral compensator. A renormalization structure…
We consider the embedding method of the superconformal group in four dimensions in the case of extended supersymmetry, hence generalizing the recent work of Goldberger, Skiba and Son which was restricted at N=1. Moreover, we work out…
We dispute a recent claim for a nonperturbative nonrenormalisation theorem stating that mass cannot be spontaneously generated in supersymmetric QED. We also extend a long-standing perturbative result, namely that the effective potential is…
We extend the "naive dimensional analysis" arguments used in QCD for estimating the strengths of operators in chiral Lagrangians to strongly coupled supersymmetric theories. In particular, we show how to count factors of 4 pi ---an inexact…
We extend the generalized D-dimensional unitarity method for numerical evaluation of one-loop amplitudes by incorporating massive particles. The issues related to extending the spinor algebra to higher dimensions, treatment of external…
A procedure for reducing the functional integral of QED to an integral over bosonic gauge invariant fields is presented. Next, a certain averaging method for this integral, giving a tractable effective quantum field theory, is proposed.…
The effective action in general chiral superfield model with arbitrary k\"{a}hlerian potential $K(\bar{\Phi},\Phi)$ and chiral (holomorphic) potential $W(\Phi)$ is considered. The one-loop and two-loop contributions to k\"{a}hlerian…
We calculate the one-loop effective potential for Horava-Lifshitz-like QED and Yukawa-like theory for arbitrary values of the critical exponent and the space-time dimension.
A new $N=1$ superfield model in $D=4$ flat superspace is suggested. This model describes dynamics of chiral compensator and can be treated as a low-energy limit of $D=4$, $N=1$ quantum superfield supergravity. Renormalization structure of…
The one-loop QCD heavy quark potential is computed to order v^2 in the color singlet and octet channels. Several errors in the previous literature are corrected. To be consistent with the velocity power counting, the full dependence on |p'…
In these lectures we discuss the supersymmetry algebra and its irreducible representations. We construct the theories of rigid supersymmetry and gave their superspace formulations. The perturbative quantum properties of the extended…
From the Euler-Heisenberg formula we calculate the exact real part of the one-loop effective Lagrangian of Quantum Electrodynamics in a constant electromagnetic field, and determine its strong-field limit.
Chiral superfields have been used, and extensively, almost ever since supersymmetry has been discovered. Complex linear superfields afford an alternate representation of matter, but are widely misbelieved to be 'physically equivalent' to…
We consider the effective action for massive two-dimensional QED in flat Euclidean space-time in the background of a general square-integrable magnetic field with finite range. It is shown that its small mass limit is controlled by the…
