We present a three dimensional novel massive N=2 super Yang-Mills action as a low energy effective worldvolume description of the D2-branes on a pp-wave. The action contains the Myers term, mass terms for three Higgs, and terms mixing the…
We generalize the Gervais-Neveu gauge to four-dimensional N=1 superspace. The model describes an N=2 super Yang-Mills theory. All chiral superfields (N=2 matter and ghost multiplets) exactly cancel to all loops. The remaining hermitian…
The (4,0) supermultiplet in 6 dimensions contains a 4th rank tensor gauge field with the symmetries of the Riemann tensor and is superconformal, with 32+32 supersymmetries. Dimensional reduction on a circle gives the 5D N=8 supergravity…
The landscape of possible four-dimensional low-energy effective theories arising from compactifications of string/M-theory seems vast. This might lead one to believe that any consistent-looking effective field theory coupled to gravity can…

We show that the symmetry algebra governing the interacting part of the matrix model for M-theory on the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave is the basic classical Lie superalgebra SU(4|2). We determine the SU(4|2) multiplets present in the…
We present a formulation of N=(1,1), Super Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 dimensions using a transverse lattice methods that exactly preserves one supersymmetry. First, using a Lagrangian approach we obtain a standard transverse lattice…
We study the Matrix theory from a purely canonical viewpoint. In particular, we identify free particle asymptotic states of the model corresponding to the 11D supergraviton multiplet along with the split of the matrix model Hamiltonian into…
We explore the space of non-gravitational, maximally supersymmetric, planar 4d effective field theories (EFTs) that have $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills (SYM) at leading order. We show that in the weakly-coupled regime, highly non-trivial…
We investigated the SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills system on a time-dependent non-diagonal cylindrical symmetric space-time. From the numerical investigation, wave-like solutions are found, consistent with the familiar string-like features. They…
We find solutions of 11-dimensional supergravity for M5-branes wrapped on Riemann surfaces. These solutions preserve ${\cal N} = 2$ four-dimensional supersymmetry. They are dual to ${\cal N} = 2$ gauge theories, including non-conformal…
A gauge-invariant wavefunctional is proposed as an approximation to the ground state of Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 dimensions, quantized in temporal gauge. The proposed vacuum state is the true ground state of the appropriate Hamiltonian in…
We embed the component fields of eleven-dimensional supergravity into a superspace of the form $X\times Y$ where $X$ is the standard 4D, $N=1$ superspace and $Y$ is a smooth 7-manifold. The eleven-dimensional 3-form gives rise to a tensor…
We derive the five-dimensional effective action of strongly coupled heterotic string theory for the complete (1,1) sector of the theory by performing a reduction, on a Calabi-Yau three-fold, of M-theory on S^1/Z_2. A crucial ingredient for…
At low energies or temperatures, maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on $\mathbb R^{(t)}\times S^1$ with large $N$ gauge group $SU(N)$ and strong t'Hooft coupling is conjectured to be dual to the low energy dynamics of a collection…
The pp-wave/SYM correspondence is an equivalence relation, H_{string}= Delta -J, between the Hamiltonian H_{string} of string field theory in the pp-wave background and the dilatation operator Delta in N=4 Super Yang-Mills in the double…
We consider a class of N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories, with gauge group SU(N)xSU(N - M) and fundamental matter content. Duality plays an essential role in analyzing the nonperturbative infrared dynamics of these models. We find that…
We study $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (SYM) on the lattice. The non-perturbative nature of supersymmetric field theories is still largely unknown. Similarly to QCD, SYM is confining and contains strongly bound states.…
The two-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory with sixteen supercharges at large $N$ and strong 't~Hooft coupling is conjectured to be dual to certain supergravity solutions in the decoupling limit. We discretize the gauge…
We construct a supersymmetric quantum mechanical model in which the energy eigenvalues of the Hamiltonians are the products of Riemann zeta functions. We show that the trivial and nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function naturally…
