The 12d supersymmetry algebra is considered, and classification of BPS states for some canonical form of second-rank central charge is given. It is shown, that possible fractions of survived supersymmetry can be 1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16…
We review our recent work on the BPS magnetic monopoles and its relation to the electromagnetic duality in the N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills systems with an arbitrary gauge group. The gauge group can be maximally or partially broken. The…
We study non-BPS black hole solutions to ungauged supergravity with 8 supercharges coupled to vector multiplets in four and five dimensions. We identify a large class of five dimensional non-BPS solutions, which we call "almost BPS", that…
We construct 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 BPS solutions spanned by diagonal elements of U(N) constant fluxes in the 6+1 dimensional U(N) super Yang-Mills theory on T^6 with topological stability. These solutions represent BPS bound states of D0, D2,…
We investigate BPS conditions preserving n/12 (n = 1,...,6) supersymmetries in the Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena (ABJM) model. The BPS equations are classified in terms of the number of preserved supercharges and remaining subgroups of…
We show that the two sets of self-dual Yang-Mills equations in 8-dimensions proposed in (E.Corrigan, C.Devchand, D.B.Fairlie and J.Nuyts, {\it Nuclear Physics} {\bf B214}, 452-464, (1983)) form respectively elliptic and overdetermined…
Matrix string theory (or more generally U-Duality) requires Super Yang-Mills theory to reflect a stringy degeneracy of BPS short multiplets. These are found as supersymmetric states in the Yang-Mills carrying (fractionated) momentum, or in…
The supergroup OSp(8*|4), which is the superconformal group of (2,0) theory in six dimensions, is broken to the subgroup OSp(4|2)xOSp(4|2) by demanding the invariance of a certain product in a superspace with eight bosonic and four…
Two families of SO(2n) Higgs models in $2n$ dimensional spacetime are presented. One family arises from the {\it dimensional reduction} of higher dimensional Yang-Mills systems while the construction of the other one is {\it ad hoc}, the…
We present an explicit formulation of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories from $\D=$ 5 to 10 dimensions in the familiar $\N=1,\D=4$ superspace. This provides the rules for globally supersymmetric model building with extra dimensions and in…
We investigate the equations of motion in the four-dimensional non-anticommutative N=2 supersymmetric U(1) gauge field theory, in the search for BPS configurations. The BPS-like equations, generalizing the abelian (anti)self-duality…
We give an explicit expression for classical 1/4-BPS fields in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on noncommutative tori. We use it to study quantum 1/4-BPS states. In particular we calculate the degeneracy of 1/4-BPS energy levels.
BPS states in N=4 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theories in four dimensions can be represented as planar string networks with ends lying on D3-branes. We introduce several protected indices which capture information on the spectrum and various…
We find supersymmetric extensions of the half-BPS soliton-impurity models in (1+1) dimensions which preserve half of the $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry. This is related to the fact that in the bosonic sector (i.e., the half-BPS…
It has been shown that D0-D$p$ $(p=2, 4, 6, 8)$ systems can be BPS in the presence of $B$-field even if they are not otherwise. We review the number of remaining supersymmetries, the open string ground state spectrum and the construction of…
We construct BPS states in the matrix description of M-theory. Starting from a set of basic M-theory branes, we study pair intersections which preserve supersymmetry. The fractions of the maximal supersymmetry obtained in this way are 1/2,…
We consider bosonic supersymmetric backgrounds of ten-dimensional conformal supergravity. Up to local conformal isometry, we classify the maximally supersymmetric backgrounds, determine their conformal symmetry superalgebras and show how…
The equations underlying all supersymmetric solutions of six-dimensional minimal ungauged supergravity coupled to an anti-self-dual tensor multiplet have been known for quite a while, and their complicated non-linear form has hindered all…
We study N=1 SUSY theories in four dimensions with multiple discrete vacua, which admit solitonic solutions describing segments of domain walls meeting at one-dimensional junctions. We show that there exist solutions preserving one quarter…
We construct U(2) BPS monopole superpartner solutions in N=2 non-commutative super Yang-Mills theory. Calculation to the second order in the noncommutative parameter $\theta$ shows that there is no electric quadrupole moment that is…
