It is shown, using the Wakimoto representation, that the level zero SU(2) Kac-Moody conformal field theory is topological and can be obtained by twisting an N=2 superconformal theory. Expressions for the associated N=2 superconformal…
We show that in a large class of supersymmetric $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times SU(4)_c$ models with the see-saw mechanism for neutrino masses and an R-parity conserving vacuum, there are diquark Higgs bosons with masses ($M_{qq}$) near the…
We construct a huge number of anomaly-free models of six-dimensional N = (1,0) gauged supergravity. The gauge groups are products of U(1) and SU(2), and every hyperino is charged under some of the gauge groups. It is also found that the…
A generalization of the non-Abelian version of the $CP^{N-1}$ models (also known as Grassmannian models) is presented. The generalization helps accommodate a partial breaking of the non-Abelian gauge symmetry. Constituents of the composite…
It is generally believed that the low energy effective theory of the minimal supersymmetric standard model is the type 2 two Higgs doublet model. We will show that the type 1 two Higgs doublet model can also as the effective of…
The minimal supersymmetric standard model, and extensions, have stringent upper bounds on the mass of the lightest Higgs boson if perturbativity up to the Planck scale is assumed. We argue that these bounds are softened tremendously if the…

Many integrable theories can be formulated universally in terms of Lie algebraic root systems. Well-studied are conformally invariant scalar field theories of Toda type and their massive versions, which can be expressed in terms of simple…
A model of multidimensional mixmaster-type vacuum universe is considered. It belongs to a class of pseudo-Euclidean chains characterized by root vectors. An algebraic approach of our investigation is founded on construction of Cartan matrix…
We construct the dual supergravity description of strongly coupled, large $N$, eight-supercharge gauge theories with fundamental hypermultiplets at points on the mixed Coulomb-Higgs branch. With certain assumptions about unknown couplings…
In this paper, we study a special class of indefinite Kac-Moody algebras. Based on the study of hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebras, we give the definition of $N_k$ type Kac-Moody algebras and study some properties of this special type Kac-Moody…
By exploiting the supersymmetric invariant restrictions on the chiral and anti-chiral supervariables, we derive the off-shell nilpotent symmetry transformations for a specific (0 + 1)-dimensional N = 2 supersymmetric quantum mechanical…
We show that the quiver Hecke superalgebras and their cyclotomic quotients provide a supercategorification of quantum Kac-Moody algebras and their integrable highest weight modules.
An algebraic method is used to work out the mass spectra and symmetry breaking patterns of general vacuum states in N=2 supersymmetric SU(n) Chern-Simons-Higgs systems with the matter fields being in the adjoint representation. The approach…
We consider a class of models with extra complex scalars that are charged under both the Standard Model and a hidden strongly coupled $SU(N)_H$ gauge sector, and discuss the scenarios where the new scalars are identified as the messenger…
We report on the gauged supergravity interpretation of certain compactifications of superstring theories with p-form fluxes turned on. We discuss in particular the interplay of duality symmetries in type IIB orientifolds and gauged…
Instanton effects in a family of completely massive Higgs models with N=1 supersymmetry are investigated. The models have $N_c=2$ and $N_f\ge 2$. In each model, we show that a certain gauge invariant correlation function depends in a…
