Using numerical bootstrap method, we determine the critical exponents of the minimal three-dimensional N = 1 Wess-Zumino models with cubic superpotetential $W\sim d_{ijk}\Phi_i\Phi_j\Phi_k$. The tensor $d_{ijk}$ is taken to be the invariant…
An embedding superspace, whose Bosonic part is the flat 2 + 1 dimensional embedding space for AdS2, is introduced. Superfields and several supersymmetric models are examined in the embedded AdS2 superspace.
We propose a new mechanism for obtaining de Sitter vacua in type IIB string theory compactified on (orientifolded) Calabi-Yau manifolds similar to those recently studied by Kachru, Kallosh, Linde and Trivedi (KKLT). dS vacuum appears in…
We show that the string backgrounds AdS2 x S2 x T6 and AdSd x Sd x Sd x T{10 - 3d} (d = 2, 3) are self-dual under a series of bosonic and fermionic T-dualities. We do this using the fermionic Buscher rules derived by Berkovits and…
We review the Pohlmeyer reduction procedure of the superstring sigma model on AdS_n x S^n leading to a gauged WZW model with an integrable potential coupled to 2d fermions. In particular, we consider the case of the Green-Schwarz…
We derive from a general formulation of pure spinor string theory on type IIA backgrounds the specific form of the action for the AdS_4 x P^3 background. We provide a complete geometrical characterization of the structure of the superfields…
These are introductory lectures on the correspondence between SU(N) gauge theories and Superstring Theory in anti-de Sitter geometries (AdS). The subject combines a number of different topics, including supersymmetric field theory,…
We propose an extension of the su(2,2|4) superalgebra to incorporate the $F1/D1$ string charges in type IIB string theory on the $AdS_{5} \times S^{5}$ background, or the electro-magnetic charges in the dual super Yang-Mills theory. With…
The Wess-Zumino model on N=1/2 nonanticommutative superspace, which contains the dimension-6 term F^3, is shown to be renormalizable to all orders in perturbation theory, upon adding F and F^2 terms to the original Lagrangian. The…
We show that, at the classical level, the recently proposed `ambitwistor string' model is equivalent to the spinor moving frame formulation of null-supersting, which in its turn is equivalent to Siegel's formulation of closed twistor string…
We consider some unitary representations of infinite dimensional Lie algebras motivated by string theory on AdS_3. These include examples of two kinds: the A,D,E type affine Lie algebras and the N=4 superconformal algebra. The first…
We investigate the relation between N=(2,2) superconformal Lie group WZNW models and Lie supergroup WZNW models. The B-twist of an exactly marginal perturbation of the world-sheet superconformal sigma model is the supergroup model.…
We consider the (2, 0) supersymmetric theory of tensor multiplets and self-dual strings in six space-time dimensions. Space-time diffeomorphisms that leave the string world-sheet invariant appear as gauge transformations on the normal…
We investigate SUSY of Wess-Zumino models in non(anti-)commutative Euclidean superspaces. Non(anti-)commutative deformations break 1/2 SUSY, then non(anti-)commutative Wess-Zumino models do not have full SUSY in general. However, we can…
The super 0-brane and GS superstring actions on AdS$_2 \times S^2$ background with 2-form flux are constructed by supercoset approach. We find the super 0-brane action contains two parameters which are interpreted as the electric and…
We suggest that compactifications on Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) spaces of type IIA, IIB, heterotic strings and eleven dimensional vacuua of M-theory are related by a combination of $T$ and strong/weak dualities. Maldacena conjecture relates then…
We point out that the low energy theory of 6d, N=(2,0) field theories, when away from the origin of the moduli space of vacua, necessarily includes a new kind of Wess-Zumino term. The form of this term is related to the Hopf invariant…
The associative superalgebra A with two-dimensional space of supertraces is presented. It is shown that (i) it is simple, (ii) its commutant [A, A} is a simple Lie superalgebra and (iii) this commutant has at least 2-dimensional space of…
We study the N=1/2 supersymmetric theory on noncommutative superspace which is a deformation of usual superspace. We consider deformed Wess-Zumino model as an example and show vanishing of vacuum energy, renormalization of superpotential…
A superspace with manifest T-duality including Ramond-Ramond gauge fields is presented. The superspace is defined by the double nondegenerate super-Poincare algebras where Ramond-Ramond charges are introduced by central extension. This…
