We study the non-perturbative properties of N=2 super conformal field theories in four dimensions using localization techniques. In particular we consider SU(2) gauge theories, deformed by a generic epsilon-background, with four fundamental…
Spherically symmetric models of loop quantum gravity have been studied recently by different methods that aim to deal with structure functions in the usual constraint algebra of gravitational systems. As noticed by Gambini and Pullin, a…
We show that a particular ``universal'' form for the soft-breaking couplings in a softly broken $N=1$ supersymmetric gauge theory is renormalisation-group invariant through two loops, provided we impose one simple condition on the…
We propose a conceptually economical and computationally tractable completion of the foundations of gauge theory on quantum principal bundles \`{a} la Brzezi\'{n}ski--Majid to the case of general differential calculi and strong bimodule…
We suggest an alternative approach to deconfine N =1 SU(N) supersymmetric gauge theory with a symmetric tensor, fundamentals, anti-fundamentals, and no superpotential. It is found that although the dual prescription derived by this new…

Sufficient conditions are proven for 't Hooft's consistency conditions to hold at points in the moduli space of supersymmetric gauge theories. Known results for anomaly matching in supersymmetric QCD are rederived as a sample application of…
The conditions for fully supersymmetric backgrounds of general N=2 locally supersymmetric theories are derived based on the off-shell superconformal multiplet calculus. This enables the derivation of a non-renormalization theorem for a…
We analyze the constraints of general coordinate invariance for quantum theories possessing conformal symmetry in four dimensions. The character of these constraints simplifies enormously on the Einstein universe $R \times S^3$. The…
It is shown how the theory of the fields can be constructed in a consistent way in quantized spaces. All constructions are connected with unitary irreducible representations of real forms of six dimensional rotation algebras O(1,5), O(2,4),…
Starting with a supersymmetric U(N)xU(N) gauge theory built in N=1 superspace, a nonsupersymmetric theory is obtained by ``twisting'' the gauginos into a different representation of the group than the gauge bosons. Despite the fact that…
We construct a Chern-Simons action for q-deformed gauge theory which is a simple and straightforward generalization of the usual one. Space-time continues to be an ordinary (commuting) manifold, while the gauge potentials and the field…
Classically the constraint algebra of general relativity, which generates gauge transformations, is equivalent to spacetime covariance. In LQG, inverse triad corrections lead to an effective Hamiltonian constraint which can lead to a…
We present an explicit expression for the topological invariants associated to $SU(2)$ monopoles in the fundamental representation on spin four-manifolds. The computation of these invariants is based on the analysis of their corresponding…
We solve the superspace Bianchi identities for ten-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory without imposing any kind of constraints apart from the standard conventional one. In this way we obtain a set of algebraic conditions on…
We study spin chains for superconformal quiver gauge theories in the moduli space of N=2 orbifolds. Independent of integrability, which is generally broken, we use the centrally extended SU(2|2) symmetry of the magnons to fix their…
We constrain the spectrum of $\mathcal{N}=(1, 1)$ and $\mathcal{N}=(2, 2)$ superconformal field theories in two-dimensions by requiring the NS-NS sector partition function to be invariant under the $\Gamma_\theta$ congruence subgroup of the…
In these notes the exact renormalization group formulation of the scalar theory is briefly reviewed. This regularization scheme is then applied to supersymmetric theories. In case of a supersymmetric gauge theory it is also shown how to…
We show that requiring sixteen supersymmetries in quantum mechanical gauge theory implies the existence of a web of constrained interactions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, these constraints extend to arbitrary orders in the momentum…
We present a string theory realization for the correspondence between quantum integrable models and supersymmetric gauge theories. The quantization results from summing the effects of fundamental strings winding around a compact direction.…
