Let (N, G), where N is a normal subgroup of G<SL_n(C), be a pair of finite groups and V a finite-dimensional fundamental G-module. We study the G-invariants in the symmetric algebra S(V) by giving explicit formulas of the Poincar\'{e}…
The supersymmetric Poisson Sigma model is studied as a possible worldsheet realization of generalized complex geometry. Generalized complex structures alone do not guarantee non-manifest N=(2,1) or N=(2,2) supersymmetry, but a certain…
We study the BPS index for the four-dimensional rank-one N=2 superconformal field theories H_0, H_1, H_2, E_6, E_7, E_8. We consider compactifications of the E-string theory on T^2 in which these theories arise as low energy limits. Using…
We examine the notion of symmetry in quantum field theory from a fundamental representation theoretic point of view. This leads us to a generalization expressed in terms of quantum groups and braided categories. It also unifies the…
We generalize the embedding formalism for conformal field theories to the case of general operators with mixed symmetry. The index-free notation encoding symmetric tensors as polynomials in an auxiliary polarization vector is extended to…
The requirement of ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetry for M-theory backgrounds of the form of a warped product ${\cal M}\times_{w}X$, where $X$ is an eight-manifold and ${\cal M}$ is three-dimensional Minkowski or AdS space, implies the existence…
We reduce the classification of all supersymmetric backgrounds in eleven dimensions to the evaluation of the supercovariant derivative and of an integrability condition, which contains the field equations, on six types of spinors. We…

We carry out a general analysis of the representations of the superconformal algebras OSp(8/4,R) and OSp(8*/2N) in terms of harmonic superspace. We present a construction of their highest-weight UIR's by multiplication of the different…
We generalize to arbitrary dimension the construction of a covariant and supersymmetric constraint for the massless superPoincare algebra, which was given for the eleven-dimensional case in a previous work. We also contrast it with a…
Building on the universal covering group of the general linear group, we introduce the composite spinor bundle whose subbundles are Lorentz spin structures associated with different gravitational fields. General covariant transformations of…
We construct ${\mathcal N}=4 \,$ $\, D(2,1;\alpha)$ superconformal quantum mechanical system for any configuration of vectors forming a V-system. In the case of a Coxeter root system the bosonic potential of the supersymmetric Hamiltonian…
A generalization of the twistor shift procedure to the case of superparticle interacting with the background D=3 N=1 Maxwell and D=3 N=1 supergravity supermultiplet is considered. We investigate twistor shift effects and discuss the…
In the present paper a model of preons and their composites is constructed in the framework of the superstring-inspired `flipped' E_6\times \widetilde{E_6} gauge symmetry group which reveals a generalized dual symmetry. Here E_6 and…
The bosonic sectors of the eleven dimensional and IIA supergravity theories are derived as non-linear realisations. The underlying group includes the conformal group, the general linear group and as well as automorphisms of the…
It is known that every irreducible unitary representation of positive energy of the Poincar\'e group can be realized as a subspace of tensor fields on Minkowski spacetime subjected to suitable partial differential equations. We first…
Synopsis: (i) how superstring theories are unified by M-theory; (ii) how superstring and supermembrane properties follow from the D=10 and D=11 supersymmetry algebras; (iii) how D=10 and D=11 supergravity theories determine the strong…
We show that all M-theory backgrounds which admit more than 29 Killing spinors are maximally supersymmetric. In particular, we find that the supercovariant curvature of all backgrounds which preserve 30 supersymmetries, subject to field…
