We consider the spectrum of BPS saturated states in $N = 2$ gauge theories in four dimensions. This spectrum may be discontinuous across real codimension one submanifolds of marginal stability in the moduli space of vacua. An example, which…
We study four N=1 SU(N)^6 gauge theories, with bi-fundamental chiral matter and a superpotential. In the infrared, these gauge theories all realize the low-energy world-volume description of N coincident D3-branes transverse to the complex…
In a wide class of $G_L\times G_R$ invariant two-dimensional super-renormalizable field theories, the parity-odd part of the two-point function of global currents is completely determined by a fermion one-loop diagram. For any non-trivial…
We study soliton gauge states in the spectrum of bosonic string compatified on torus. The enhenced Kac-Moody gauge symmetry, and thus T-duality, is shown to be related to the existence of these soliton gauge states in some moduli points.
The full U-duality symmetry of toroidally compactified M-theory can only be displayed by allowing non-rectangular tori with expectation values of the gauge fields. We construct an E_d(Z) U-duality invariant mass formula incorporating…
We consider $(2, 0)$ theory on a space-time of the form $R \times T^5$, where the first factor denotes time, and the second factor is a flat spatial five-torus. In addition to their energy, quantum states are characterized by their spatial…
We discuss toroidal compactifications of maximal supergravity coupled to an extended configuration of BPS states which transform consistently under the U-duality group. Under certain conditions this leads to theories that live in more than…
We present a supersymmetric version of Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) theory in noncommutative space-time, both for Abelian and non-Abelian gauge groups. We show, using the superfield formalism, that the definition of a certain ordering with…
Massless BPS-saturated states in toroidally compactified heterotic string were discussed first. Then, I constructed a large class of BPS-saturated states of toroidally compactified type II string theories. They were parametrized by four…
Starting from Seiberg's electric-magnetic duality for supersymmetric QCD, we construct dual pairs of non-supersymmetric gauge theories. This is accomplished by first taking the large N limit of supersymmetric QCD and its dual partner and…
We study solutions at the minima of scalar field potentials for Moyal spaces and torii in the large non-commutativity and interprete these solitons in terms of non-BPS D-branes of string theory. We derive a mass spectrum formula linking…
We review our recent work on the BPS magnetic monopoles and its relation to the electromagnetic duality in the N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills systems with an arbitrary gauge group. The gauge group can be maximally or partially broken. The…
T-duality in M(atrix) theory has been argued to be realized as Morita equivalence in Yang-Mills theory on a non-commutative torus (NCSYM). Even though the two have the same structure group, they differ in their action since Morita…
In this paper, we give a proof of the equivalence of ${\cal N}=1$ $SO/Sp$ gauge theories deformed from ${\cal N}=2$ by the superpotential of adjoint field $\Phi$, the dual type IIB superstring theory on CY threefold geometries with fluxes…
We construct actions for (p,0)- and (p,1)- supersymmetric, 1 <= p <= 4, two-dimensional gauge theories coupled to non-linear sigma model matter with a Wess-Zumino term. We derive the scalar potential for a large class of these models. We…
We present a unified treatment of classical solutions of noncommutative gauge theories. We find all solutions of the noncommutative Yang-Mills equations in 2 dimensions; and show that they are labelled by two integers -- the rank of gauge…
I explain two applications of the relationship between four dimensional N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories, zero dimensional gauged matrix models, and geometric transitions in string theory. The first is related to the spectrum of BPS domain…
We study four dimensional $N=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories with matter multiplets. For all such models for which the gauge group is $SU(2)$, we derive the exact metric on the moduli space of quantum vacua and the exact spectrum of the…
We give a confirmation of U-duality of type II superstring by discussing mass spectrum of the BPS states. We first evaluate the mass spectrum of BPS solitons with one kind of R-R charges. Our analysis is based on the 1-loop effective action…
We investigate BPS soliton solutions of U(N) Chern-Simons gauge theory coupled to a scalar field in noncommutative plane. With a scalar field in the fundamental representation, we show that the BPS equation becomes that of abelian…
