We show how the bosonic sector of the radion supermultiplet plus d=4, N=1 supergravity emerge from a consistent braneworld Kaluza-Klein reduction of D=5 M--theory. The radion and its associated pseudoscalar form an SL(2,R)/U(1) nonlinear…

We construct four dimensional intersecting D6-brane models that have locally the spectrum of the N=1 Supersymmetric Standard Model. All open {\em visible} string sectors share the same N=1 supersymmetry. As expected in these supersymmetric…

An action for supersymmetric D0-branes in curved backgrounds is obtained by dimensional reduction of N=1 ten-dimensional supergravity coupled to super Yang-Mills system to 0+1 dimensions. The resultant action exhibits the coset-space…

We study eight fermion terms in the effective action of the ABJM model. We show the non-renormalization of $v^2$ terms. After classifying all the possible eight fermion structures, we show that $\mathcal{N}=6$ supersymmetry determines all…

We extend the results of hep-th/0310137 to show that a general classical action for D=2, N=2 sigma models on a non(anti)commutative superspace is not standard and contains infinite number of terms, which depend on the determinant of the…

We construct a variety of off-shell $N{=}8, d{=}1$ supermultiplets with finite numbers of component fields as direct sums of properly constrained $N{=}4, d{=}1$ superfields. We also show how these multiplets can be described in $N{=}8,…

By studying the previously known holographic N=4 supersymmetric renormalization group flow(Gowdigere-Warner) in four dimensions, we find the mass deformed Chern-Simons matter theory which has N=4 supersymmetry by adding the four mass terms…

We obtain a U(M) action for supermembranes with central charges in the Light Cone Gauge (LCG). The theory realizes all of the symmetries and constraints of the supermembrane together with the invariance under a U(M) gauge group with M…

We study renormalization-group flow patterns in theories arising on D1-branes in various supersymmetry-breaking backgrounds. We argue that the theory of N D1-branes transverse to an orbifold space can be fine-tuned to flow to the…

We consider N=2 supersymmetric nonlinear sigma-models in two dimensions defined in terms of the nonminimal scalar multiplet. We compute in superspace the one-loop beta function and show that the classical duality between these models and…

We consider the construction of a general tree level amplitude for the interactions between dynamical D-branes where the configurations have non-zero odd spin structure. Using Riemann Theta Identities we map the conditions for the…

Actions for branes, with or without worldsurface gauge fields, are discussed in a unified framework. A simple algorithm is given for constructing the component Green-Schwarz actions. Superspace actions are also discussed. Three examples are…

Rederiving the one-loop divergences for the most general coupling of the open string sigma model by the heat kernel technique, we distinguish the classical background field from the mean field of the effective action. The latter is…

Recently we have constructed a completely supersymmetric nonlinear action possessing the properties expected from multiple D0-brane system. Its quantization should result in an interesting supersymmetric field theory in the (super)space…

We construct a nonlinear version of the d=1 off-shell N=8 multiplet (4,8,4), proceeding from a nonlinear realization of the superconformal group OSp(4*|4) in the N=8, d=1 analytic bi-harmonic superspace. The new multiplet is described by a…

We study the non-minimal supersymmetric heterotically deformed $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ sigma model with the Grassmannian target space $\mathcal{G}_{M,N}$. To develop the appropriate superfield formalism, we begin with a simplified model with…

Maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories have several remarkable properties, among which are the cancellation of UV divergences, factorization of higher loop corrections and possible integrability. Much attention has been attracted to…
