Using 4D, N=1 superfield techniques, a discussion of the 6D sigma-model possessing simple supersymmetry is given. Two such approaches are described. Foremost it is shown that the simplest and most transparent description arises by use of a…
We study the supersymmetric extension of the Faddeev model in four dimensions. The Faddeev model contains three dimensional soliton solutions and we are interested in how these solitons are affected by supersymmetry. We consider both the…
We consider some simple examples of supersymmetric quantum mechanical systems and explore their possible geometric interpretation with the help of geometric aspects of real Clifford algebras. This leads to natural extensions of the…
Lorentz-violating extensions of the Wess-Zumino model have been formulated in superspace. The models respect a supersymmetry algebra and can be understood as arising from suitably modified superspace transformations.
We present a uniform treatment of rigid supersymmetric field theories in a curved spacetime $\mathcal{M}$, focusing on four-dimensional theories with four supercharges. Our discussion is significantly simpler than earlier treatments,…
We demonstrate how one can see quantization of geometry, and quantum algebraic structure in supersymmetric gauge theory.

Split-complex fields usually appear in the context of Euclidean supersymmetry. In this paper, we propose that this can be generalized to the non-Euclidean case and that, in fact, the split-complex representation may be the most natural way…
In this short paper I discuss how conformal geometric algebra models for euclidean and minkowski targetspaces determine the allowed quantum mechanical statespaces for free particles. I explicitly treat 2-dimensional euclidean space and…
This work classifies three-dimensional simple evolution algebras over arbitrary fields. For this purpose, we use tools such as the associated directed graph, the moduli set, inductive limit group, Zariski topology and the dimension of the…
Maximal and non-maximal supergravities in three spacetime dimensions allow for a large variety of semisimple and non-semisimple gauge groups, as well as complex gauge groups that have no analog in higher dimensions. In this contribution we…
We present four-dimensional gauge theories in Minkowski spacetime which effectively generate in certain energy regimes five-dimensional warped geometries whereas, in general, the fifth dimension is latticized. After discussing in detail…
In these introductory lectures, we review the theoretical tools used in constructing supersymmetric field theories and their application to physical models. We first introduce the technology of two-component spinors, which is convenient for…
Embedding of the brane metric into Euclidean (2+4)-space is found. Brane geometry can be visualized as the surface of the hyper-sphere in six dimensions which 'radius' is governed by the cosmological constant. Minkowski space in this…
We give a new interpretation for the super loop space that has been used to formulate supersymmetry. The fermionic coordinates in the super loop space are identified as the odd generators of the Weil algebra. Their bosonic superpartners are…

Structures in low-dimensional topology and low-dimensional geometry -- often combined with ideas from (quantum) field theory -- can explain and inspire concepts in algebra and in representation theory and their categorified versions. We…
