We obtain lattice models whose continuum limits correspond to $N=2$ superconformal coset models. This is done by taking the well known vertex model whose continuum limit is the $G \times G/G$ conformal field theory, and twisting the…
We obtain off-critical (elliptic) Boltzmann weights for lattice models whose continuum limits correspond to massive, $N=2$ supersymmetric, quantum integrable field theories. We also compute the free energies of these models and show that…
We introduce in this paper two dimensional lattice models whose continuum limit belongs to the $N=2$ series. The first kind of model is integrable and obtained through a geometrical reformulation, generalizing results known in the $k=1$…
We study Euclidean lattice formulations of non-gauge supersymmetric models with up to four supercharges in various dimensions. We formulate the conditions under which the interacting lattice theory can exactly preserve one or more nilpotent…
We introduce lattice models with explicit N=2 supersymmetry. In these interacting models, the supersymmetry generators Q^+ and Q^- yield the Hamiltonian H={Q^+,Q^-} on any graph. The degrees of freedom can be described as either fermions…

We show how to construct lattice sigma models in one, two and four dimensions which exhibit an exact fermionic symmetry. These models are discretized and {\it twisted} versions of conventional supersymmetric sigma models with N=2…
We investigate a family of lattice models with manifest N=2 supersymmetry. The models describe fermions on a 1D lattice, subject to the constraint that no more than k consecutive lattice sites may be occupied. We discuss the special…
These lectures review some of the basic properties of $N=2$ superconformal field theories and the corresponding topological field theories. One of my basic aims is to show how the techniques of topological field theory can be used to…
A lattice-type regularization of the supersymmetric field theories on a supersphere is constructed by approximating the ring of scalar superfields by an integer-valued sequence of finite dimensional rings of supermatrices and by using the…
N=2 supersymmetric field theories in two dimensions have been extensively studied in the last few years. Many of their properties can be determined along the whole renormalization group flow, like their coupling dependence and soliton…
We investigate an integrable property and observables of 2 dimensional N=(4,4) topological field theory defined on a discrete lattice by using the "orbifolding" and "deconstruction" methods. We show that our lattice model possesses the…
We discuss the connection between supersymmetric field theories and topological field theories and show how this connection may be used to construct local lattice field theories which maintain an exact supersymmetry. It is shown how metric…
I review recent approaches to constructing supersymmetric lattice theories focusing in particular on the concept of topological twisting. The latter technique is shown to expose a nilpotent, scalar supersymmetry which can be implemented…
