We perform dimensional reductions of recently constructed self-dual $~N=2$~ {\it supersymmetric} Yang-Mills theory in $~2+2\-$dimensions into two-dimensions. We show that the universal equations obtained in these dimensional reductions can…
A large class of equivalence relations between the moduli spaces of instantons on ALE spaces and the Higgs branches of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories, are found by means of a certain kind of duality transformation between brane…
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…
We give a microscopic explanation for the recently observed equivalence among thermodynamics of supergravity solutions for Dp-branes with or without NS B-field and for D(p-2)-branes with vanishing B-field and two delocalized transverse…
We present a non-geometric derivation of $\mathcal{N}$=1 Super Yang-Mills by focusing on the consistency of interactions that extend the free vector supermultiplet rather than assuming gauge invariance under extended symmetries. By…
We report on numerical simulations of one dimensional maximally supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory, by using the lattice action with two exact supercharges. Based on the gauge/gravity duality, the gauge theory corresponds to N D0-branes…
By studying the pure Yang-Mills theory on a circle, as well as an adjoint scalar coupled to the gauge field on a circle, we propose a quenching prescription in which the combination of the spatial component of the gauge field and $P$ is…
We present an explicit formulation of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories from $\D=$ 5 to 10 dimensions in the familiar $\N=1,\D=4$ superspace. This provides the rules for globally supersymmetric model building with extra dimensions and in…
Dimensionally reduced supersymmetric theories retain a great deal of information regarding their higher dimensional origins. In superspace, this "memory" allows us to restore the action governing a reduced theory to that describing its…
We study open supermembranes in 11 dimensional rigid superspace with 6 dimensional topological defects (M-theory five-branes). After rederiving in the Green-Schwarz formalism the boundary conditions for open superstrings in the type IIA…
The BPS states of N=2 super Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(2) are constructed as non-trivial finite-energy solutions of the worldvolume theory of a threebrane probe in F theory. The solutions preserve 1/2 of N=2 supersymmetry and…
Supersymmetric pure Yang-Mills theory is formulated with a local, i.e. space-time dependent, complex coupling in superspace. Super-Yang-Mills theories with local coupling have an anomaly, which has been first investigated in the Wess-Zumino…
We discuss some of the recent developments of N=1 super Yang-Mills theories in the context of the gauge-string correspondence.
The $N=2$ supersymmetric {\it self-dual} Yang-Mills theory and the $N=4$ and $N=2$ {\it self-dual} supergravities in $2+2$ space-time dimensions are formulated for the first time. These formulations utilize solutions of the Bianchi…
We calculate the general planar dual-conformally invariant double-pentagon and pentabox integrals in four dimensions. Concretely, we derive one-fold integral representations for these elliptic integrals over polylogarithms of weight three.…
For the spinning superparticle we construct the pull-back of the world-line path integral to super moduli space in the Hamiltonian formulation. We describe the underlying geometric decomposition of super moduli space. Algebraically, this…
We present results from lattice simulations of ${\cal N}=2$ super Yang-Mills theory in two dimensions. The lattice formulation we use was developed in \cite{2dpaper} and retains both gauge invariance and an exact (twisted) supersymmetry for…
In this paper we review recent results on symmetries in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. Symmetries are of invaluable help in studying and constraining the scattering amplitudes, and there has been a lot of progress in recent years concerning…
Supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory is formulated in six dimensions, without the use of anti-commuting variables. This is achieved using a new Nicolai map, to third order in the coupling constant. This is the second such map in six dimensions…
In this review we present the octonionic duality for membranes. We start with a discussion on the relation of the Yang Mills theories and the supermembrane Hamiltonian in the light-cone gauge. We further derive the self-duality equations…
