We study the BPS conditions in the closed supermembranes on the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave background. In particular, the 1/2 and 1/4 BPS states are discussed in detail. Moreover, we comment on the zero-modes in the invariant mass…
We study $N=2$ gauged supergravity with $U(1)$ gauge group coupled to $n_v$ vector multiplets and find quite general analytic solutions for quarter-BPS black holes with mass, NUT and dyonic Maxwell charges. The solutions we find have…
In this paper we complete the exploration of connected components of the space of BPS Wilson loops in three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ Chern-Simons-matter theory on $S^3$. The algorithm is to start with a supersymmetric Wilson loop, choose…
The values of color and anticolor charges are proposed. The structure of gluons is predicted relative to their color and anticolor charges. It is shown that the gauge bosons of lower order theories can be used as it is for higher order…
Calorons (periodic instantons) interpolate between monopoles and instantons, and their holonomy gives approximate Skyrmion configurations. We show that, for each caloron charge N \leq 4, there exists a one-parameter family of calorons which…
We propose a general strategy to build three-dimensional gauge theories with four supercharges which enjoy a supersymmetry enhancement in the IR. The resulting IR SCFTs admit topological twists with particularly nice properties, as well as…
This review considers the properties of classical solutions to supergravity theories with partially unbroken supersymmetry. These solutions saturate Bogomol'ny-Prasad-Sommerfield bounds on their energy densities and are the carriers of the…
We show that the BPS property is a generic feature of field theories in (1+1) dimensions, which does not put any restriction on the action. Here, by BPS solutions we understand static solutions which i) obey a lower-order Bogomolny-type…
We analyze the spectrum of dyons in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(3) spontaneously broken down to U(1)xU(1). The Higgs fields select a natural basis of simple roots. Acting with S-duality on the W-boson states…
Dynamics of a BPS dyon in a weak, constant, electromagnetic field is studied through a perturbative analysis of appropriate non-linear field equations. The full Lorentz force law for a BPS dyon is established. Also derived are the radiation…
The purpose of the present paper is twofold. In the first part, we provide an algebraic characterization of several families of $\nu= \frac{1}{2^n}$ $n\leq 5$ BPS states in M theory, at threshold and non-threshold, by an analysis of the BPS…
The seminal work by Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer taken further by Eliashberg to the intermediate coupling solved the problem of conventional superconductors about half a century ago. The Froehlich and Jahn-Teller electron-phonon…
We apply ideas that have appeared in the study of D-branes on Calabi-Yau compactifications to the derivation of the BPS spectrum of field theories. In particular, we identify an orbifold point whose fractional branes can be thought of as…
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 find a class of exact solutions of noncommutative gauge theories corresponding to unstable non-BPS solitons. In the two-dimensional euclidean (or 2+1 dimensional lorentzian) U(1) theory we find localized solutions carrying nonzero…
There exist simple single-charge and multi-charge BPS p-brane solutions in the D-dimensional maximal supergravities. From these, one can fill out orbits in the charge vector space by acting with the global symmetry groups. We give a…
In recent work, we derived the long-distance confining dynamics of certain QCD-like gauge theories formulated on small $S^1 \times \R^3$ based on symmetries, an index theorem, and Abelian duality. Here, we give the microscopic derivation.…
Based on a detailed analysis of nonlinear field equations of the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs system, we obtain the effective field theory describing low-energy interaction of BPS dyons and massless particles (i.e., photons and Higgs particles).…
A modified $SU(2)$ Georgi-Glashow model is considered here, and it is shown that besides the well-known Julia-Zee dyon solution, the model can also have a modified dyon solution. The properties of the modified dyon solution are studied…
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.
