The formula for the Hirzebruch $\chi_y$-genus of complex manifolds is a consequence of the Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch formula. The classical index formulae for Todd genus, Euler number, and Signature correspond to the case when the complex…

Via supersymmetry argument, we determine the effective action of the SU(2) supersymmetric Yang-Mills quantum mechanics up to two constants, which results from the full supersymmetric completion of the F^4 term. The effective action,…
The progress brought to the study of chiral fermions and gauge theories by quantization methods with a bulk time suggests their usefulness in supersymmetric theories. Using superspace methods, we show how an explicitly supersymmetric…
Symmetry invariants of a group specify the classes of quasiparticles, namely the classes of projective irreducible co-representations in systems having that symmetry. More symmetry invariants exist in discrete point groups than the full…
We built up a explicit realization of (0+1)-dimensional q-deformed superspace coordinates as operators on standard superspace. A q-generalization of supersymmetric transformations is obtained, enabling us to introduce scalar superfields and…
Quantization of the nonlinear supersymmetry faces a problem of a quantum anomaly. For some classes of superpotentials, the integrals of motion admit the corrections guaranteeing the preservation of the nonlinear supersymmetry at the quantum…
We study quantum mechanics in the stochastic formulation, using the functional integral approach. The noise term enters the classical action as a local contribution of anticommuting fields. The partition function is not invariant under…
A recent development of the studies on classical and quasi-classical properties of supersymmetric quantum mechanics in Witten's version is reviewed. First, classical mechanics of a supersymmetric system is considered. Solutions of the…
We report general properties of N-fold supersymmetry in one-dimensional quantum mechanics. N-fold supersymmetry is characterized by supercharges which are N-th polynomials of momentum. Relations between the anti-commutator of the…
We study the partition function of N=1 supersymmetric De Rham quantum mechanics on a Riemannian manifold, with a nontrivial chemical potential $\mu$ for the fermions. General arguments suggest that when $\mu \to \infty$ we should get the…
We investigate a modification of the 2+1 dimensional abelian Chern-Simons theory, obtained by adding a Proca mass term to the gauge field. We are particularly interested in the infrared limit, which can be described by two {\it a priori}…
