We present a dual description for $SU(N)$ supersymmetric gauge theory with an antisymmetric tensor and fundamentals, and no superpotential. This duality is derived from the dualities of Seiberg. Under a perturbation of the superpotential,…
Antisymmetric tensor gauge fields phi_{ab}(eta) are formulated on the surface of a sphere S_4t(eta^2 = a^2) embedded in five dimensions. The free field model is equivalent to a scalar model on this sphere. Interactions with gauge fields are…
It is well-known that if we gauge a $\mathbb{Z}_n$ symmetry in two dimensions, a dual $\mathbb{Z}_n$ symmetry appears, such that re-gauging this dual $\mathbb{Z}_n$ symmetry leads back to the original theory. We describe how this can be…
We describe topological gauge theories for which duality properties are encoded by construction. We study them for compact manifolds of dimensions four, eight and two. The fields and their duals are treated symmetrically, within the context…
We discuss the non-anticommutative (N=1/2) supersymmetric U(1) gauge theory in four dimensions, including a superpotential. We perform the one-loop renormalisation of the model, including the complete set of terms necessary for…
We suggest a dual to an $SU(2k)$ Susy gauge theory containing an antisymmetric tensor, $\nf$ fundamentals and $\nfb$ anti-fundamentals. This is done by expanding the theory into an equivalent description with two gauge groups and then…
We generalize the electromagnetic duality between a massless, canonical scalar field and a 2-form gauge field in 4-dimensional spacetime to scalar-tensor theories. We derive the action of 2-form gauge field that is dual to two kinds of…
We show that a quantum-mechanical N=2 supersymmetry is hidden in 4d mass spectrum of any gauge invariant theories with extra dimensions. The N=2 supercharges are explicitly constructed in terms of differential forms. The analysis can be…
At an elementary level, we present some non-perturbative aspects of non-abelian gauge theories in four dimensional space-time. Some rigorous results have been obtained in the framework of supersymmetric theories, and a very rich physics…
Some of the key cohomological features of the two $(1+1)$-dimensional (2D) free Abelian- and self-interacting non-Abelian gauge theories (having no interaction with matter fields) are briefly discussed first in the language of symmetry…
In this article we shall consider the tensor gauge fields which are possible to embed into the existing framework of generalized YM theory and therefore allows to construct the gauge invariant and metric independent forms in 2n+4 and 2n+2…
We review the relations between (twisted) supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions and moduli problems in four-dimensional topology, and we study in detail the non-abelian monopole equations from this point of view. The relevance of…
We study two dimensional $\mathcal{N} = (2, 2)$ Landau-Ginzburg models with tensor valued superfields with the aim of constructing large central charge superconformal field theories which are solvable using large $N$ techniques. We…
Main objective of the present dissertation is the investigation for all the possible low energy models which emerge in four dimensions by the dimensional reduction of a gauge theory over multiple connected coset spaces. The higher…
We consider discrete gauge symmetries in D dimensions arising as remnants of broken continuous gauge symmetries carried by general antisymmetric tensor fields, rather than by standard 1-forms. The lagrangian for such a general ${\bf Z}_p$…
Numerous topics in three and four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories are covered. The organizing principle in this presentation is scaling (Wilsonian renormalization group flow.) A brief introduction to scaling and to supersymmetric…
A model is presented that could lead to an interesting extension of the Standard Model. Like a supersymmetric gauge theory, the model is holomorphic and invariant to local superspace gauge transformations. However, the model is not…
We investigate the perturbative dynamics of noncommutative topologically massive gauge theories with softly broken supersymmetry. The deformed dispersion relations induced by noncommutativity are derived and their implications on the…
In free completely symmetric tensor gauge field theories on Minkowski space-time, all gauge invariant functions and Killing tensor fields are computed, both on-shell and off-shell. These problems are addressed in the metric-like formalisms.
The N=1 supersymmetric gauge SU(5) theory with one antisymmetric tensor, n+3 fundamentals and n+4 antifundamentals has dual magnetic descriptions in the infrared. By introducing extra singlet fields and tree level superpotential terms to…
