We study five-dimensional Yang-Mills theories compactified on an S^1/Z_2 orbifold. The fundamental Lagrangian naturally includes brane kinetic terms at the orbifold fixed points which are induced by quantum corrections of the bulk fields.…
In this work, we propose to extend an approach to calculate at any order $(n)$, the functional derivative of the diffracted field with respect to the permittivity-contrast function. These derivatives obtained for different orders are used…
Using a recently developed off-shell formulation for general 4D N=2 supergravity-matter systems, we propose a construction to generate higher derivative couplings. We address here mainly the interactions of tensor and vector multiplets, but…
We formulate a generic three-dimensional superfield higher-derivative gauge theory coupled to the matter, which, in certain cases reduces to the three-dimensional scalar super-QED, or supersymmetric Maxwell-Chern-Simons or Chern-Simons…
We construct the effective field theory for a single massive higher-spin particle in flat spacetime. Positivity bounds of the S-matrix force the cutoff of the theory to be well below the naive strong-coupling scale, forbid any potential and…
In this paper we will consider quantum aspects of a non-local, infinite-derivative scalar field theory - a $\it toy \, model$ depiction of a covariant infinite-derivative, non-local extension of Einstein's general relativity which has…
A notion of super operator system is defined which generalizes the usual notion of operator systems to include certain unital involutive operator spaces which cannot be represented completely isometric as a concrete operator system on some…
The product of local operators in a topological quantum field theory in dimension greater than one is commutative, as is more generally the product of extended operators of codimension greater than one. In theories of cohomological type…

The late time limit of the power spectrum for heavy (principal series) fields in de Sitter space yields a series of polynomial terms with complex scaling dimensions. Such scaling behavior is expected to result from an associated operator…
When the Standard Model is interpreted as the renormalizable sector of a low-energy effective theory, the effects of new physics are encoded into a set of higher dimensional operators. These operators potentially deform the shapes of…
We study four-derivative corrections to four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ minimal gauged supergravity and show that they are controlled by two real constants. The solutions of the equations of motion in the two-derivative theory are not…
A realistic SU(3)_C x SU(3)_W unified theory is constructed with a TeV sized extra dimension compactified on the orbifold S_1/Z_2, leaving only the standard model gauge group SU(3)_C x SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y unbroken in the low energy 4D theory.…
We study a four-dimensional low-energy effective field theory derived from extra dimensional field theories with general gauge backgrounds. We find that products among fermionic zero-modes and lightest scalar modes are expanded by other…
Scattering amplitudes in $D$ dimensions involve particular terms that originate from the interplay of UV poles with the $D-4$ dimensional parts of loop numerators. Such contributions can be controlled through a finite set of…
Extensions of standard one-dimensional supersymmetric quantum mechanics are discussed. Supercharges involving higher order derivatives are introduced leading to an algebra which incorporates a higher order polynomial in the Hamiltonian. We…

Derivators, introduced independently by Grothendieck and Heller in the 1980s, provide a categorical framework for studying homotopy theory. They are based on the idea that, while the homotopy 1-category of a single model category or…
