We examine some properties of supermultiplet consisting of the U(1)_{J} current, extended supercurrents, energy-momentum tensor and the central charge in N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. The superconformal improvement requires adding…
We study four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric $U(N)$ gauge theory with $2N$ fundamental hypermultiplets in the self-dual $\Omega$-background. The partition function simplifies at special points of the parameter space and is…
Five-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories are investigated from the viewpoint of random plane partitions. It is shown that random plane partitions are factorizable as q-deformed random partitions so that they admit…
We illustrate some physical application of a lattice formulation of the two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills theory with a (small) supersymmetry breaking scalar mass. Two aspects, power-like behavior of…
In the context of the gauge-string correspondence, we discuss the spontaneous partial breaking of supersymmetry. Starting from the orbifold of S^5, supersymmetry breaking leads us to consider the (resolved) conifold background and some of…
We derive the $N=2$ and $4$ super Yang-Mills theories from the viewpoint of the $M_4\times Z_2\times Z_2$ gauge theory. Scalars and pseudoscalars appearing in the theories are regarded as gauge fields along the directions on $Z_2\times Z_2$…

U(n) Yang-Mills theory on the fuzzy sphere S^2_N is quantized using random matrix methods. The gauge theory is formulated as a matrix model for a single Hermitian matrix subject to a constraint, and a potential with two degenerate minima.…
We consider noncommutative {\cal N}=4 supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theory. Using the {\cal N}=1 superfield formalism and the background field method we compute one-loop four point contributions to the effective action and compare the…
Discretization of supersymmetric theories is an old problem in lattice field theory. It has resisted solution until quite recently when new ideas drawn from orbifold constructions and topological field theory have been brought to bear on…
We give the superdiffeomorphisms transformations of the four-dimensional topological Yang-Mills theory in curved manifold and we discuss the ultraviolet renormalization of the model. The explicit expression of the most general counterterm…
SU(N) Yang-Mills integrals form a new class of matrix models which, in their maximally supersymmetric version, are relevant to recent non-perturbative definitions of 10-dimensional IIB superstring theory and 11-dimensional M-theory. We…
Recently, we found the supersymmetric counterpart of the spectral triple. When we restrict the representation space to the fermionic functions of matter fields, the counterpart which we name "the triple" reduces to the original spectral…
We study N=1 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theories coupled to an adjoint chiral field with superpotential. We consider the full supersymmetric moduli space of these theories obtained by adding all allowed chiral operators. These include…
The origin of non-renormalization theorems in field theories with global supersymmetry can be traced to the fact that supersymmetric actions can be viewed as the highest components of respective supermultiplets. Supersymmetric interactions…
We write down the weak-coupling limit of N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with arbitrary gauge group \( G \). We find the weak-coupling monodromies represented in terms of \( Sp(2r,\bzeta ) \) matrices depending on paths closed up to…
Supersymmetry provides a well-established theoretical framework for extensions of the standard model of particle physics and the general understanding of quantum field theories. We summarise here our investigations of N=1 supersymmetric…
