We write down the supermembrane actions for M-theory backgrounds dual to general ${\cal N}=2$ four-dimensional superconformal field theories. The actions are given to all orders in fermions and are in a particular $\kappa$-gauge. When an…

Relaxational processes in ordered phases of one-dimensional Ising models with long-range interactions are investigated by Monte Carlo simulations. Three types of spin model, the pure ferromagnetic, the diluted ferromagnetic, and the spin…

[Abridged] n-Particle Irreducible Effective Actions ($n$PIEA) are a powerful tool for extracting non-perturbative and non-equilibrium physics from quantum field theories. Unfortunately, practical truncations of $n$PIEA can unphysically…
We study the superspace formulation of the noncommutative nonlinear supersymmetric O(N) invariant sigma-model in 2+1 dimensions. We prove that the model is renormalizable to all orders of 1/N and explicitly verify that the model is…
