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 show that a certain superfield formalism can be used to find an off-shell supersymmetric description for some supersymmetric field theories where conventional superfield formalism does not work. This "new" formalism contains even…

We derive the off-shell nilpotent and absolutely anticommuting Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and anti-BRST symmetry transformations, corresponding to the (1-form) Yang-Mills (YM) and (2-form) tensorial gauge symmetries of the four (3 +…

The scalar and vector topological Yang-Mills symmetries on Calabi-Yau manifolds geometrically define consistent sectors of Yang-Mills D=4,6 N=1 supersymmetry, which fully determine the supersymmetric actions up to twist. For a CY_2…

Recently, a universal formula for the Nicolai map in terms of a coupling flow functional differential operator was found. We present the full perturbative expansion of this operator in Yang-Mills theories where supersymmetry is realized…

We quantize pure 2d Yang-Mills theory on an arbitrary Riemann surface in the gauge where the field strength is diagonal. Twisted sectors originate, as in Matrix string theory, from permutations of the eigenvalues around homotopically…

We present an alternative quantization for irreducible open gauge theories. The method relies on the possibility of modifying the classical BRST operator and the gauge-fixing action written as in Yang-Mills type theories, in order to obtain…

Albeit the standard model is the most successful model of particles physics, it still has some theoretical shortcomings, for instance the hierarchy problem, the absence of dark matter, etc. Supersymmetric extensions of the standard model…

We consider N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory formulated in terms of N=2 superfields in harmonic superspace. Using the background field method we define manifestly gauge invariant and N=2 supersymmetric effective action depending on N=2…

We write down all orders large $N$ expansions for the dimensions of irreducible representations of $O(N)$ and $Sp(N)$. We interpret all the terms in these expansions as symmetry factors for singular worldsheet configurations, involving…

With the introduction of shadow fields, we demonstrate the renormalizability of the N=4 super-Yang--Mills theory in component formalism, independently of the choice of UV regularization. Remarkably, by using twisted representations, one…

It is known that the supermultiplet of beta-deformations of ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory can be described in terms of the exterior product of two adjoint representations of the superconformal algebra. We present a…

We show that the BRST Lagrangian double copy construction of $\mathcal{N}=0$ supergravity as the `square' of Yang-Mills theory finds a natural interpretation in terms of homotopy algebras. We significantly expand on our previous work…

The N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory is formulated on the lattice. The feasibility of numerical simulations is discussed.

Planar maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (N=4 SYM) is a special quantum field theory. A few of its remarkable features are conformal symmetry at the quantum level, evidence of integrability and, moreover, it is a prime example of…

We introduce the supersymmetric version of YM-like theories with infinitely many spin fields in 4 dimension. The construction is carried out via the superfield method. The surprising feature of these models is that they describe in…

We show that $N=2$ and $N=4$ extended supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in four space-time dimensions could be derived as action functionals for non-commutative spaces. The coupling of $N=1$ and $N=2$ super Yang-Mills to $N=1$ and $N=2$…
