N=2 supersymmetric Yang--Mills theories coupled to matter are considered in the Wess--Zumino gauge. The supersymmetries are realized nonlinearly and the anticommutator between two susy charges gives, in addition to translations, gauge…
We consider a Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with spontaneous symmetry breaking of the gauge group G -> U(1)^r -> C(G), with C(G) being the center of G. We study two vacua solutions of the theory which produce this symmetry breaking. We show that…
In this paper, I show that a Yang-Mills force with a U(1)$\timesSU(2)\times$SU(2) group symmetry predicts solar system observations of gravitational behavior as well as binary pulsar precession provided that mass is redefined as intrinsic…

We provide a closed-form expression for the motivic Kontsevich-Soibelman invariant for M-theory in the background of the toric Calabi-Yau threefold $K_{\mathbb{F}_0}$. This encodes the refined BPS spectrum of $SU(2)$ 5d ${\cal N}=1$…
