The space of 6D supergravities with minimal supersymmetry is greatly constrained by anomaly cancellation. Nevertheless, a large number of models satisfy all low-energy consistency conditions and in this work we make progress towards…

A scalar field theory with 4-derivative kinetic terms and 4-derivative cubic and quartic couplings is presented as a proxy for quantum quadratic gravity (QQG). The scalar theory is renormalizable and asymptotically free and the remaining…
Via a challenging field-theory computation, we confirm a supergravity prediction for the non-supersymmetric D3-D7 probe-brane system with probe geometry AdS_4 x S^2 x S^2, stabilized by fluxes. Supergravity predicts, in a certain…
We discuss the non-anticommutative (N=1/2) supersymmetric U(1) gauge theory in four dimensions, including a superpotential. We perform the one-loop renormalisation of the model, including the complete set of terms necessary for…
Using the superfield formalism, we propose a non-local extension of the supersymmetric gauge theory coupled to massless chiral matter. Two different non-local models are considered. For these models, we explicitly calculate the one-loop…
The superspace formulation of N=1 conformal supergravity in four dimensions is demonstrated to be equivalent to the conventional component field approach based on the superconformal tensor calculus. The detailed correspondence between two…

We consider a scalar $\phi^4$ theory on canonically deformed Euclidean space in 4 dimensions with an additional oscillator potential. This model is known to be renormalisable. An exterior gauge field is coupled in a gauge invariant manner…
We apply the functional renormalization group approach to a $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge model with one chiral superfield coupled to a vector $U(1)$ superfield. We find that the nonrenormalization theorem still works at leading…
Maximally $\mathcal{N}$ extended $2+1$ dimensional flat Supergravity theories exist for a class of super-Poincar\'{e} algebras for arbitrary $\mathcal{N}$. They have rich asymptotic structures and contain all interesting topological…
We consider $5D$, ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory in $5D$, ${\cal N}=1$ harmonic superspace as a theory of the interacting adjoint $5D$, ${\cal N}=1$ gauge multiplet and hypermultiplet. Using the background superfield…
We investigate energy correlators in four-dimensional gravitational theories, which provide a simple class of infrared-finite observables. We compute the one- and two-point energy correlators at one loop in $\mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity and…
We consider the noncommutative hypermultiplet model within harmonic superspace approach. The 1-loop four-point contributions to the effective action of selfinteracting q-hypermultiplet are computed. This model has two coupling constants…
We conduct a systematic search for anomaly-free six-dimensional N=1 chiral supergravity theories. Under a certain set of restrictions on the allowed gauge groups and the representations of the hypermultiplets, we enumerate all possible…
We consider the off-shell formulation of the 5D, $ {\cal N}$=1 super Yang-Mills and super Chern-Simons theories in harmonic superspace. Using such a formulation we develop a manifestly supersymmetric and gauge invariant approach to…
Commutative supersymmetric Yang-Mills is known to be renormalizable for ${\cal N} = 1, 2$, while finite for ${\cal N} = 4$. However, in the noncommutative version of the model (NCSQED$_4$) the UV/IR mechanism gives rise to infrared…
We find a four-dimensional N=1 gauge theory which flows to the minimal interacting N=2 superconformal field theory, the Argyres-Douglas theory, in the infrared up to the extra free chiral multiplets. The gauge theory is obtained from a…
We discuss the renormalisation group flow of all essential couplings of quantum gravity coupled to a shift-symmetric scalar field at fourth order in the derivative expansion. We derive the global structure of the phase diagram, and identify…
Recent one-loop calculations of certain supergravity-mediated quantum corrections in supersymmetric brane-world models employ either the component formulation (hep-th/0305184) or the superfield formalism with only half of the bulk…
