We show that in supersymmetric theories, knowing the soft theorem for a single particle in a supermultiplet allows one to immediately determine soft theorems for the remainder of the supermultiplet. While soft theorems in supersymmetric…
The aim of these notes is to provide a short introduction to supersymmetric theories: supersymmetric quantum mechanics, Wess-Zumino models and supersymmetric gauge theories. A particular emphasis is put on the underlying structures and…
In this paper we explore some of the features of large N supersymmetric and nonsupersymmetric gauge theories using Maldacena's duality conjectures. We shall show that the resulting strong coupling behavior of the gauge theories is…
We show that the holomorphic Wilsonian beta-function of a renormalizable asymptotically free supersymmetric gauge theory with an arbitrary semi-simple gauge group, matter content, and renormalizable superpotential is exhausted at 1-loop…
Recent understanding of {\cal N}=1* supersymmetric theory (mass deformed {\cal N}=4) has made it possible to find an exact superpotential which encodes the properties of the different phases of the theory. We consider this superpotential as…

In the context of very general exact renormalization groups, it will be shown that, given a vertex expansion of the Wilsonian effective action, remarkable progress can be made without making any approximations. Working in QCD we will…
General non-commutative supersymmetric quantum mechanics models in two and three dimensions are constructed and some two and three dimensional examples are explicitly studied. The structure of the theory studied suggest other possible…
We consider a general brane construction for realizing chiral four-dimensional gauge theories. The advantage of the construction is the simplicity and the possibility of realizing a large class of models existing in the literature. We start…
Pure gauge theories for de Sitter, anti de Sitter and orthogonal groups, in four-dimensional Euclidean spacetime, are studied. It is shown that, if the theory is asymptotically free and a dynamical mass is generated, then an effective…

Dijkgraaf and Vafa have conjectured that the effective superpotentials for N=1 four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories can be given by the planar diagrams of matrix models. We examine some special models with cubic and quartic tree…
It is pointed out that if we allow for the possibility of a multilayered universe, it is possible to maintain exact supersymmetry and arrange, in principle, for the vanishing of the cosmological constant. Superpartner(s) of a known particle…
We construct supersymmetric gauge theories on some curved manifolds with boundaries. Our examples include a part of three-sphere and a part of two-sphere. We concentrate on Dirichlet boundary conditions. For these theories on the manifolds…
We use Ward identities derived from the generalized Konishi anomaly in order to compute effective superpotentials for SU(N), SO(N) and $Sp(N)$ supersymmetric gauge theories coupled to matter in various representations. In particular we…
In addition to the very good theoretical motivations for supersymmetry, there are now at least nine phenomenological indications that nature is supersymmetric. All are indirect, so more is better. They are enumerated here. Some discussion…
The Coset Space Dimensional Reduction scheme is briefly reviewed. Then a ten-dimensional supersymmetric $E_8$ gauge theory is reduced over symmetric and non-symmetric six-dimensional coset spaces. In general a four-dimensional…
