Superconformal Ward identities are derived for the the four point functions of chiral primary BPS operators for $\N=2,4$ superconformal symmetry in four dimensions. Manipulations of arbitrary tensorial fields are simplified by introducing a…
We prove small-data global existence to semi-linear wave equations on hyperbolic space of dimension greater than or equal to three, for nonlinearities that have the form of a sufficiently high integer power of the solution. We also prove…
Propagation of weak gravitational waves, when a dynamical four-form is around, has been investigated. Exact, self-consistent solutions corresponding to plane, monochromatic gravitational waves have been studied.
We use computational linear algebra and commutative algebra to study spaces of relations satisfied by quadrilinear operations. The relations are analogues of associativity in the sense that they are quadratic (every term involves two…
The features of propagation of intense waves are of great interest for theory and experiment in electrodynamics and acoustics. The behavior of nonlinear waves in a bounded volume is of especial importance and, at the same time, is an…
Non-geometric flux vacua have recently been revisited, leading to the remarkable discovery of isolated 4D ${\mathcal N}=1$ supersymmetric Minkowski vacua. These constructions rely on the non-renormalization of the superpotential, which is…
We give an introduction to conformal and superconformal algebras and their representations in various dimensions. Special emphasis is put on 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal symmetry. This is the writeup of the lectures given at the Winter…
Two different approaches are formulated to analyze two-dimensional quantum models which are not amenable to standard separation of variables. Both methods are essentially based on supersymmetrical second order intertwining relations and…
Using matrix identities, we construct explicit pseudo-exponential-type solutions of linear Dirac, Loewner and Schr\"odinger equations depending on two variables and of nonlinear wave equations depending on three variables.
We develop a general theory of intertwined diffusion processes of any dimension. Our main result gives an SDE construction of intertwinings of diffusion processes and shows that they correspond to nonnegative solutions of hyperbolic partial…
We construct a two-parameter family of explicit solutions to the cubic wave equation on $\mathbb{R}^{1+3}$. Depending on the value of the parameters, these solutions either scatter to linear, blow-up in finite time, or exhibit a new type of…
Two-dimensional N=1,2 supersymmetric chiral models and their dual extensions are introduced and canonically quantized. Working within a superspace formalism, the non-manifest invariance under 2D-superPoincare' transformations is proven. The…
We consider a system of coupled nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equations in one space dimension. First, we prove the existence of multi-speed solitary waves, i.e solutions to the system with each component behaving at large times as a solitary…
A family of harmonic superspaces associated with four-dimensional spacetime is described. Some applications to supersymmetric field theories, including supergravity, are given.
Four-dimensional N = 2 superconformal quantum field theories contain a subsector carrying the structure of a chiral algebra. Using localization techniques, we show for the free hypermultiplet that this structure can be accessed directly…
Some effects of surface tension on fully-nonlinear, long, surface water waves are studied by numerical means. The differences between various solitary waves and their interactions in subcritical and supercritical surface tension regimes are…
Recently, developments in the understanding of low-energy N=1 supersymmetric gauge theory have revealed two important phenomena: the appearance of new four-dimensional superconformal field theories and a non-Abelian generalization of…
We prove an extended lifespan result for the full gravity-capillary water waves system with a $2$ dimensional periodic interface: for initial data of sufficiently small size $\varepsilon$, smooth solutions exist up to times of the order of…
We present a covariant and supersymmetric theory of relativistic hydrodynamics in four-dimensional Minkowski space.
A free superstring with chiral N=2 supersymmetry in six dimensions is proposed. It couples to a two-form gauge field with a self-dual field strength. Compactification to four dimensions on a two-torus gives a strongly coupled N=4…
