A new framework for quantum Hall skyrmions in O(4) nonlinear sigma model is studied here. The size and energy of the skyrmions are determined incorporating the quartic stability term in the Lagrangian. Moreover, the introduction of a…
Symmetries affected by the anomaly do not survive quantization and cannot be understood classically. They are of fundamental importance and offer an opportunity of expanding the theoretical framework. We examine the theory of the anomalous…
We present results for the large-$N$ limit of the (1+1)-dimensional principal chiral sigma model. This is an asymptotically-free $N\times N$ matrix-valued field with massive excitations. All the form factors and the exact correlation…
After a brief introduction to the sigma model in QCD, we discuss how the sigma model can be relevant in the Standard Model. It is shown to be useful in the analysis of weak processes, such as the study of $\Delta {I} = 1/2$ rule, and in the…
We discuss the appearance of additional, hidden supersymmetries for simple 0+1 $Ad(G)$-invariant supersymmetric models and analyse some geometrical mechanisms that lead to them. It is shown that their existence depends crucially on the…
We apply the instanton counting method to study a class of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric quiver gauge theories with alternating $\mathrm{SO}$ and $\mathrm{USp}$ gauge groups. We compute the partition function in the…

We examine spherical p-branes in AdS_m x S^n, that wrap an S^p in either AdS_m (p=m-2) or S^n (p=n-2). We first construct a two-spin giant solution expanding in S^n and has spins both in AdS_m and S^n. For (m,n)={(5,5),(4,7),(7,4)}, it is…
The anomaly cancellation is a basic property of the Standard Model, crucial for its consistence. We consider a lattice chiral gauge theory of massless Wilson fermions interacting with a non-compact massive U(1) field coupled with left and…
Using spinorial geometry techniques, we classify the supersymmetric solutions of euclidean ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. These backgrounds represent generalizations of instantons with nontrivial scalar fields turned on, and satisfy…
We discuss the finite-size properties of a simple integrable quantum field theory in 1+1 dimensions with non-trivial boundary conditions. Novel off-critical identities between cylinder partition functions of models with differing boundary…
We show that noncommutative gauge theory in two dimensions is an exactly solvable model. A cohomological formulation of gauge theory defined on the noncommutative torus is used to show that its quantum partition function can be written as a…
The analysis in previous publications of the instanton constraints required to produce a finite action of the theory is carried out also for N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory.
We calculate the spectral density of the Dirac operator over an ensemble of configurations composed of overlapping instantons and anti-instantons. We find evidence that the spectral density diverges in the limit of small eigenvalues. This…
The Bethe ansatz can be used to compute anomalous dimensions in N=4 SYM theory. The classical solutions of the sigma-model on AdS(5)xS(5) can also be parameterized by an integral equation of Bethe type. In this note the relationship between…
We reformulate self-dual supersymmetric theories directly in conformal chiral superspace, where superconformal invariance is manifest. The superspace can be interpreted as the generalization of the usual Atiyah-Drinfel'd-Hitchin-Manin…
Supersymmetric quantum mechanics is well known to provide, together with the so-called shape invariance condition, an elegant method to solve the eigenvalue problem of some one-dimensional potentials by simple algebraic manipulations. In…
In a paper by the first author it was shown that for certain arithmetical results on conjugacy class sizes it is enough to only consider the vanishing conjugacy class sizes. In this paper we further weaken the conditions to consider only…
Supersymmetry does not dictate the way we should quantize the fields in the supermultiplets, and so we have the freedom to quantize the Standard Model (SM) particles and their superpartners differently. We propose a generalized quantization…
We discuss numerical aspects of instantons in two- and three-dimensional $\phi^4$ theories with an internal $O(N)$ symmetry group, the so-called $N$-vector model. Combining asymptotic transseries expansions for large argument with…
