Born-Infeld generalization of the Yang-Mills action suggested by the superstring theory gives rise to modification of previously known as well as to some new classical soliton solutions. Earlier it was shown that within the model with the…
A non-abelian generalisation of a theory of gravity coupled to a 2-form gauge field and a dilaton is found, in which the metric and 3-form field strength are Lie algebra-valued. In the abelian limit, the curvature with torsion is self-dual…
We show that the connection between partial breaking of supersymmetry and nonlinear actions is not accidental and has to do with constraints that lead directly to nonlinear actions of the Born-Infeld type. We develop a constrained…
We derive a BPS-type bound for four-dimensional Born-Infeld action with constant B field background. The supersymmetric configuration saturates this bound and is regarded as an analog of instanton in U(1) gauge theory. Furthermore, we find…
We review a method to find the non-abelian open superstring effective action, thereby settling the issue of the ordering ambiguities. We start from solutions to Yang-Mills which, in D-brane context, define certain BPS configurations.…
We consider a geometrically motivated Skyrme model based on a general covariant kinetic term proposed originally by Born and Infeld. We introduce this new term by generalizing the Born-Infeld action to a non-abelian $SU(2)$ gauge theory and…
Starting from BPS solutions to Yang-Mills which define a stable holomorphic vector bundle, we investigate its deformations. Assuming slowly varying fieldstrengths, we find in the abelian case a unique deformation given by the abelian…
We discuss recent results on one-loop contributions to the effective action in {\cal N}=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions. Contributions with five external vector fields are compared with corresponding ones in open…
We present some obvious physical requirements on gravitational avatars of non-linear electrodynamics and illustrate them with explicit determinantal Born-Infeld-Einstein models. A related procedure, using compensating Weyl scalars, permits…
It is proposed that a non-Abelian adjoint two-form in BF type theories transform inhomogeneously under the gauge group. The resulting restrictions on invariant actions are discussed. The auxiliary one-form which is required for maintaining…
We apply the BPS Lagrangian method~\cite{Atmaja:2015umo} to derive BPS equations of monopole and dyon in the $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills-Higgs model, Nakamula-Shiraishi models, and their Generalized versions. We argue that by identifying the…
We elaborate on how to build, in a systematic fashion, two-field Abelian extensions of the Born-Infeld Lagrangian. These models realize the non-trivial duality groups that are allowed in this case, namely U(2), SU(2) and U(1)xU(1). For each…
We identify a non-local symmetry for Yang-Mills theories in 1+1 and 2+1 spacetime dimensions. The symmetry mixes a vector current with the gauge field. The current involved in the symmetry is required to satisfy certain constraints. The…
We discuss some aspects of the topological features of a non-interacting two (1+1)-dimensional Abelian gauge theory in the framework of superfield formalism. This theory is described by a BRST invariant Lagrangian density in the Feynman…
The non-abelian Einstein-Born-Infeld-Dilaton theory, which rules the dynamics of tensor-scalar gravitation coupled to a $su(2)$-valued gauge field ruled by Born-Infeld lagrangian, is studied in a cosmological framework. The microscopic…
We determine the non-abelian Born-Infeld action, including fermions, as it results from the four-point tree-level open superstring scattering amplitudes at order alpha'^2. We find that, after an appropriate field redefinition all terms at…
In the recently proposed generalization of the Yang-Mills theory the group of gauge transformation gets essentially enlarged. This enlargement involves an elegant mixture of the internal and space-time symmetries. The resulting group is an…
A Lagrangian formulation is given extending to N = 1 supersymmetry the motion of a charged point particle with spin in a non-abelian external field. The classical formulation is constructed for any external static non-abelian SU(N) gauge…
Non-abelian gauge theories in the context of generalized complex geometry are discussed. The generalized connection naturally contains standard gauge and scalar fields, unified in a purely geometric way. We define the corresponding…
A composite non-abelian model $SU(N) \times SU(N)$ is proposed as possible extension of the Yang-Mills symmetry. We obtain the corresponding gauge symmetry of the model and the most general lagrangian invariant by $SU(N) \times SU(N)$. The…
