We summarize some results in 4d, N=1 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theories: the exact effective superpotentials, the vacuum structure, and the exact effective Abelian couplings for arbitrary bare masses and Yukawa couplings.
Hidden symmetries are the backbone of Integrable two-dimensional theories. They provide classical solutions of higher dimensional models as well, they seem to survive partially quantisation and their discrete remnants in M-theory called…
A direct connection is proved between the Non-Abelian Bianchi Identities(NABI), and the abelian Bianchi identities for the 't Hooft tensor. As a consequence the existence of a non-zero magnetic current is related to the violation of the…
The non-abelian generalization of the Born-Infeld non-linear lagrangian is extended to the non-commutative geometry of matrices on a manifold. In this case not only the usual SU(n) gauge fields appear, but also a natural generalization of…
We study the dual Higgs mechanism for the nonperturbative QCD. We point out two kind of the ``see-saw'' relations between electric and magnetic sectors. Owing to the Dirac condition $eg=4\pi$, the dual Ginzburg-Landau theory has the…
We show how Higgs mechanism for non-abelian N=2 gauge theories in four dimensions is geometrically realized in the context of type II strings as transitions among compactifications of Calabi-Yau threefolds. We use this result and T-duality…
We provide an explicit planar Abelian dual for three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ $U(N)_k$ SQCD with $F$ fundamental chiral multiplets. This construction covers the entire $(N, F, k)$ parameter space (provided supersymmetry is unbroken),…
Both in electroweak theory and QCD, the vacuum in strong magnetic fields develops charged vector condensates once a critical value of the magnetic field is reached. Both ground states have a similar Abrikosov lattice structure and…
In this paper we study a system inspired on certain SUSY breaking models and on more recent Dark Matter scenarios. In our set-up, two Abelian gauge fields interact via an operator that mixes their kinetic terms. We find the extended…
We study vacuum structure of N=2 supersymmetric (SUSY) QCD, based on the gauge group SU(2) with N_f=2 flavors of massive hypermultiplet quarks, in the presence of non-zero baryon chemical potential (\mu). The theory has a classical vacuum…
The Higgs branch of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories with non-Abelian gauge groups are described by hyper-Kahler (HK) nonlinear sigma models with potential terms. With the non-Abelian HK quotient by U(M) and SU(M) gauge groups, we give the…
We discuss classical and quantum symmetries of extended Hubbard models. The quantum symmetries are shown to be related to the known superconducting SU(2) symmetry of the original Hubbard model at half filling via generalized Lang-Firsov…
It has been conjectured that the Abelian projection of QCD is responsible for the confinement of color. Using a gauge independent definition of the Abelian projection which does {\it not} employ any gauge fixing, we provide a strong…
We review issues involved in understanding the vacuum, long-distance and low-energy structure of non-Abelian gauge theories and QCD. The emphasis will be on the role played by instantons.
The spacial distribution of fields and currents in confining theories can give direct evidence of dual superconductivity. We would like to discuss the techniques for finding these properties and calculating the superconductivity parameters…
We study in more detail the cubic constraints for N=1 chiral superfields proposed in the earlier work Eur. Phys. J. C 81, 523 (2021), which describe low-energy goldstino-axion dynamics in global non-linearly realized supersymmetry. We…
A four dimensional non-trivial extension of the Poincar\'e algebra different from supersymmetry is explicitly studied. Representation theory is investigated and an invariant Lagrangian is exhibited. Some discussion on the Noether theorem is…
Vacuum characteristics quantifying dynamical tendency toward self-duality in gauge theories could be used to judge the relevance of classical solutions or the viability of classically motivated vacuum models. Here we decompose the field…
We demonstrate that the disorder parameter $<\mu>$ to detect dual superconductivity in the confining phase of QCD is the v.e.v. of a magnetically charged, Dirac like, gauge invariant operator $\mu$. We also show that the abelian projection…
A systematic study of large N expansion in supersymmetric theories are given. Supersymmetric O(N) non-linear sigma model in two and three dimensions, massless and massive supersymmetric QCD with $N_{f}<N_{c}-1$ and supergravity models are…
