We revisit the novel symmetries in $\mathcal{N}$ = 2 supersymmetric (SUSY) quantum mechanical (QM) models by considering specific examples of coupled systems. Further, we extend our analysis to a general case and list out all the novel…

The vacuum structure and spectra of two-dimensional gauge theories with N=(2,2) supersymmetry are investigated. These theories admit a twisted mass term for charged chiral matter multiplets. In the case of a U(1) gauge theory with N chiral…

We introduce a two-dimensional (2D) system, which can be implemented in dual-core planar optical couplers with the Kerr nonlinearity in its cores, making it possible to blend effects of the PT symmetry, represented by the balanced linear…

We revisit and construct new examples of supersymmetric 2D topological sigma models whose target space is a Poisson supermanifold. Inspired by the AKSZ construction of topological field theories, we follow a graded-geometric approach and…

Microscopic symmetries impose strong constraints on the elasticity of a crystalline solid. In addition to the usual spatial symmetries captured by the tensorial character of the elastic tensor, hidden non-spatial symmetries can occur…

We consider a mixture consisting of two species of spherical nanoparticles dispersed in a liquid medium. We show that with an appropriate choice of refractive indices and particle diameters, it is possible to observe the phenomenon of…

Global symmetries can be generalised to transformations generated by topological operators, including cases in which the topological operator does not have an inverse. A family of such topological operators are intimately related to…

We introduce a dynamical model of a Bose-Einstein condensate based on the 2D Gross-Pitaevskii equation, in which the nonlinear coefficient is a function of radius. The model describes a situation with spatial modulation of the negative…

We consider solitonic solutions of coupled scalar systems, whose Lagrangian has a potential term (quasi-supersymmetric potential) consisting of the square of derivative of a superpotential. The most important feature of such a theory is…

It is shown that the T-duality in \sigma-model with Kaluza-Klein metric, without or with a torsion term, can be interpreted as electric-magnetic duality for some of their solitonic solutions. Actually Buscher's duality transformation…

We study Lorentzian supersymmetric configurations in $D=4$ and $D=5$ gauged $\mathcal{N}=2$ supergravity. We show that there are smooth $1/2$ BPS solutions which are asymptotically AdS$_{4}$ and AdS$_{5}$ with a planar boundary, a compact…

The real spectrum of bound states produced by PT-symmetric Hamiltonians usually suffers breakup at a critical value of the strength of gain-loss terms, i.e., imaginary part of the complex potential. On the other hand, it is known that the…

Fuzzy sphere models conjecturally realize 3d CFTs in small systems of spinful fermions, but why they work so well is still not fully understood. Their Hamiltonians are built from electron density operators projected to the lowest Landau…
