Turning on background fields in string theory sometimes has an alternative interpretation as a deformation of the target space geometry. A particularly well-known case is the NS-NS two form B, which gives rise to space-time…
The quantum worldsheet dynamics of vortex strings contains information about the 4d non-Abelian gauge theory in which the string lives. Here I tell this story. The string worldsheet theory is typically some variant of the CP^{N-1}…
Several refinements are made in a theory which starts with a Planck-scale statistical picture and ends with supersymmetry and a coupling of fundamental fermions and bosons to SO(N) gauge fields. In particular, more satisfactory treatments…
For a symmetric pair $(G,H)$ of reductive groups we extend to a large class of generalized principal series representations our previous construction of meromorphic families of symmetry breaking operators. These operators intertwine between…
We develop a framework for systematic study of symmetry transformations of sigma-model currents in a special situation, when symmetries have a well-defined projection onto the target space. We then apply this formalism to pure spinor…
Various universal features of relativistic rotating strings depend on the organization of allowed local operators on the worldsheet. In this paper, we study the set of Neumann boundary operators in effective string theory, which are…
We review a recently proposed SuperGeometric (SG) approach to Quantum Field Theories (QFTs) that allow for scalar-fermion field transformations in a manifestly reparameterisation covariant manner. By adopting natural choices for the…
Duality transformations with respect to rotational isometries relate supersymmetric with non-supersymmetric backgrounds in string theory. We find that non-local world-sheet effects have to be taken into account in order to restore…
Most of the current inference techniques rely upon Bayesian inference on Probabilistic Graphical Models of observations and do predictions and classification on observations. However, there is very little literature on the mining of…
Supersymmetric theories are reviewed in the context of field theories. The gauge hierarchy problem in attempting the unification of all fundamental interactions is the strongest motivation of modern development of supersymmetry. Starting…
We explain how the representation theory associated with supersymmetry in diverse dimensions is encoded within the representation theory of supersymmetry in one time-like dimension. This is enabled by algebraic criteria, derived, exhibited,…
We develop a mechanism that enables supersymmetric Ward identities to be applied in non-supersymmetric theories. These identities are then used to streamline calculations in our target theories, potentially including phenomenological…
We study the localization transition in the integer quantum Hall effect as described by the network model of quantum percolation. Starting from a path integral representation of transport Green's functions for the network model, which…
The Schwinger representation gives a systematic procedure for recasting large N field theory amplitudes as integrals over closed string moduli space. This procedure has recently been applied to a class of free field four point functions by…
We provide a concise description of our recent work on the exact conformal field theory (CFT) formulation of the superstring in the pp-wave background with Ramond-Ramond (RR) flux, using the Green-Schwarz formalism in the semi-light-cone…
Perturbative PT-symmetric quantum field theories with anti-Hermitian and P-odd interaction terms are studied in path integral formalism and the i phi^3 model is calculated in detail. The nonlocal field transformation induced by the C…
I describe how superstring theory may violate spin-statistics in an experimentally observable manner. Reviewing the basics of superstring interactions and how to utilize these to produce a statistical phase, I then apply these ideas to two…
The role of the generalized Pauli constraints (GPCs) in higher spatial dimensions and by incorporating spin degrees of freedom is systematically explored for a system of interacting fermions confined by a harmonic trap. Physical relevance…
This paper reviews some results regarding symbolic dynamics, correspondence between languages of dynamical systems and combinatorics. Sturmian sequences provide a pattern for investigation of one-dimensional systems, in particular interval…
In this note we investigate the generalised critical $N=2$ superstrings in $(1,2p)$ spacetime signature. We calculate the four-point functions for the tachyon operators of these theories. In contrast to the usual $N=2$ superstring in…
