This is an elementary introduction to basic tools of supersymmetry: the spacetime symmetries, gauge theory and its application in gravity, spinors and superalgebras. Special attention is devoted to conformal and anti-de Sitter algebras.
Supersymmetric non-linear sigma-models are described by a field dependent Kaehler metric determining the kinetic terms. In general it is not guaranteed that this metric is always invertible. Our aim is to investigate the symmetry structure…
In addition to the very good theoretical motivations for supersymmetry, there are now at least nine phenomenological indications that nature is supersymmetric. All are indirect, so more is better. They are enumerated here. Some discussion…
The attractive feature of supersymmetry is predictive power, due to the large number of calculable properties and to coupling non-renormalisation. This power can be fully expressed in hidden sectors where supersymmetry may be exact, as…
An overview of current multiple alignment systems to date are described.The useful algorithms, the procedures adopted and their limitations are presented.We also present the quality of the alignments obtained and in which cases(kind of…
We discuss various dualities, relating integrable systems and show that these dualities are explained in the framework of Hamiltonian and Poisson reductions. The dualities we study shed some light on the known integrable systems as well as…
Symmetry groups allow to transform solutions of differential equations continuously into other solutions. This property can be used for the observability analysis of infinite-dimensional systems with input and output. In this contribution,…
Inspired by the concept of complementarity, we present a illustrative model for the weak interactions with unbroken gauge symmetry and unbroken supersymmetry. The observable particles are bound states of some more fundamental particles.…
An introduction to and a partial review of supergravity theories is given, insisting on concepts and on some important technical aspects. Topics covered include elements of global supersymmetry, a derivation of the simplest N=1 supergravity…
We formulate N-fold supersymmetry in quantum mechanical matrix models. As an example, we construct general two-by-two Hermitian matrix 2-fold supersymmetric quantum mechanical systems. We find that there are two inequivalent such systems,…
We provide vector-like gauge theories which break supersymmetry dynamically.
We present a short overview of the structure and couplings of supergravity theories at the component level. We do so with as little technical machinery as possible, working directly with the physical on-shell fields and using explicit…
The theory of plasma physics offers a number of nontrivial examples of partial differential equations, which can be successfully treated with symmetry methods. We propose three different examples which may illustrate the reciprocal…
We briefly review the general structure of integrable particle theories in 1+1 dimensions having N=1 supersymmetry. Examples are specific perturbed superconformal field theories (of Yang-Lee type) and the N=1 supersymmetric sine-Gordon…
When supersymmetry is spontaneously broken it will be generically non-linearly realized. A method to describe the non-linear realization of supersymmetry is with constrained superfields. We discuss the basic features of this description and…
The symmetries of a spinning particle in the field of a self-dual monopole are studied from the viewpoint of supersymmetric quantum mechanics.
Supersymmetry as applied to identical bands is discussed. A review of the work of the Koeln-Dubna group on this topic is given and examples in 171,172Yb, 173,174Hf, and 195,194Pt are discussed. The role of pseudo-spin in the supersymmetry…
The convenient setting for smooth mappings, holomorphic mappings, and real analytic mappings in infinite dimension is sketched. Infinite dimensional manifolds are discussed with special emphasis on smooth partitions of unity and tangent…
We develop classical globally supersymmetric theories. As much as possible, we treat various dimensions and various amounts of supersymmetry in a uniform manner. We discuss theories both in components and in superspace. Throughout we…
This article is based on papers discussing different aspects of extra dimensional environments. In addition to the results, we review some of the concepts on which models with large extra dimensions are based.
