We review the recent developments in the theory of normal, normal self-dual and general complex random matrices. The distribution and correlations of the eigenvalues at large scales are investigated in the large $N$ limit. The 1/N expansion…
A new mathematical framework is formulated to derive the effective equations of motion for the constrained quantum system which possesses an internal clock. In the realm close to classical behavior, the quantum evolution is approximated by…
We analyze the slow roll limit of the massive version of time-dependent Yang--Mills type matrix model. We find that this limit reproduces the one-loop non-Hermitian matrix model, describing the dilatations of the local gauge invariant…
We review the recent progress in studying the quantum structure of $6D$, ${\cal N}=(1,0)$ and ${\cal N}=(1,1)$ supersymmetric gauge theories formulated through unconstrained harmonic superfields. The harmonic superfield approach allows one…
We describe the strong coupling limit (g->infty) for the Yang--Mills type matrix models. In this limit the dynamics of the model is reduced to one of the diagonal components which is characterized by a linearly confining potential. We also…
We consider (3 + 1)-dimensional N=4 super Yang-Mills theory with a nonvanishing scalar Higgs vacuum expectation value, and compare this theory to AdS supergravity with branes in the bulk. We show that the one-loop effective potential for…
The radiative correction to beta function is comprehensively studied at 1 loop in the context of universal extra dimensions. Instead of using cutoffs to regularize 1-loop divergences, the dimensional regularization scheme is used. Large…
We calculate explicitly the one-loop effective potential in different Lorentz-breaking field theory models. First, we consider a Yukawa-like theory and, then, some examples of Lorentz-violating extensions of scalar QED. We observed, for the…
The N=2* theory (mass deformation of N=4 Super-Yang-Mills) undergoes an infinite number of quantum phase transitions in the large-N limit. The phase structure and critical behavior can be analyzed with the help of supersymmetric…
It is briefly explained why recent claims about the vanishing of the one-loop effective potential in Matrix theory, thus invalidating the possible agreement with supergravity, do not hold.
We present a simplified dynamic-vacuum-energy model for a time-symmetric Milne-like universe. The big bang singularity in this simplified model, like the one in a previous model, is just a coordinate singularity with finite curvature and…
M(atrix) theory is known to be mass-deformed in the pp-wave background and still retains all 16 dynamical supersymmetries. We consider generalization of such deformations on super Yang-Mills quantum mechanics (SYQM) with less supersymmetry.…
The Gildener-Weinberg models are of particular interest in the context of extensions to the Standard Model of particle physics. These extensions may encompass a variety of theories, including double Higgs models, Grand Unification Theories,…
This short review is addressed to cosmologists. General relativity predicts that space-time comes to an end and physics comes to a halt at the big-bang. Recent developments in loop quantum cosmology have shown that these predictions cannot…
We study an ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory defined on $M^4\times S^1$. The vacuum expectation values for adjoint scalar field in vector multiplet, though important, has been overlooked in evaluating one-loop effective…
Quantum effects are expected to modify the cosmological dynamics of the early universe while maintaining some (potentially discrete) notion of space-time structure. In one approach, loop quantum cosmology, current models are shown here to…
We review some tests of the 0-brane and instanton matrix models based on comparing long-distance interaction potentials between branes and their bound states (with 1/2,1/4 or 1/8 of supersymmetry) in supergravity and in super Yang-Mills…
We establish a new tool for studying strongly coupled matter: an effective theory of black holes in gravity, which maps to a hydrodynamic description of field theories via the gauge-gravity duality. Our approach is inspired by previously…
A manifestly gauge invariant exact renormalization group for pure SU(N) Yang-Mills theory is proposed, along with the necessary gauge invariant regularisation which implements the effective cutoff. The latter is naturally incorporated by…
We develop and study a D-brane realization of 4D N=2 super Yang-Mills theory. It is a type IIB string theory compactified on R^6\times K3 and containing parallel 7-branes. It can also be regarded as a subsector of Vafa's F-theory…
