We provide a taxonomy of dynamical supersymmetry breaking theories, and discuss the cosmological implications of the various types of models. Models in which supersymmetry breaking is produced by chiral superfields which only have…
We calculate the low energy effective action of massless and massive complex linear superfields coupled to a massive U(1) vector multiplet. Our calculations include superspace higher derivative corrections and therefore go beyond previous…
The scalar-isoscalar field of an effective chiral Lagrangian transforms differently in either linear or non-linear frameworks: in the former case it is the counterpart of the pion whereas in the latter it is chiral invariant on its own. We…
The chiral theory of mesons of two flavors have been extended to mesons containing strange flavor. Two new mass relations between vector and axial-vector mesons have been obtained. In chiral limit, the physical processes of normal parity…
We expand the generic model involving chiral matter, super Yang-Mills gauge fields, and supergravity to second order in the gravity and gauge prepotentials in a manifestly covariant and conformal way. Such a class of models includes…
In this paper we construct Seiberg-Witten maps for superfields on canonically deformed N=1, d=4 Minkowski and Euclidean superspace. On Minkowski superspace we show that the Seiberg-Witten map is not compatible with locality, (anti)chirality…
Graph-based signal processing techniques have become essential for handling data in non-Euclidean spaces. However, there is a growing awareness that these graph models might need to be expanded into `higher-order' domains to effectively…
We develop an extension of special relativity in $1+3$ dimensional spacetime to account for superluminal inertial observers and show that such an extension rules out the conventional dynamics of mechanical point-like particles and forces…
An example of a sequence of the sl(N;C) chiral fields, for N$\geq 2$, tending to the complex heavenly metric (nonlinear graviton) of the type [4]x[-] when N --> infinity is given.
Elaborating on previous work (hep-th/0605211, hep-th/0611247), we show how the linear and nonlinear chiral multiplets of N=4 supersymmetric mechanics with the off-shell content (2,4,2) can be obtained by gauging three distinct two-parameter…
Scalar fields in 4D are known to have equivalent dual descriptions in terms of form-field gauge potentials, but this is often regarded as an arcane fact. Why use more complicated formulations when simpler scalar descriptions exist and are…
We develop a theory of extensions of hyperfields that generalizes the notion of field extensions. Since hyperfields have a multivalued addition, we must consider two kinds of extensions that we call weak hyperfield extensions and strong…
We give an expanded discussion of the proposal that spacetime supersymmetry representations may be viewed as having their origins in 1D theories that involve a special class of real Clifford algebras. These 1D theories reproduce the…
Electromagnetic decays of the scalar mesons are shown to be constrained by chiral symmetry as a consequence of the fact that, in the chiral limit, the two and three-point functions $<SS-PP>$ and $<VVS>$ satisfy super-convergent dispersion…
We derive the general supertrace formula for a system with $N$ chiral superfields and one nilpotent chiral superfield in global and local supersymmetry. The nilpotent multiplet is realized by taking the scalar-decoupling limit of a chiral…
We construct supersymmetric K field theories (i.e., theories with a non-standard kinetic term) in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions such that the bosonic sector just consists of a nonstandard kinetic term plus a potential. Further, we study the…
I propose a prescription for separating the high- and low-energy contributions in effective field theories. This prescription allows a relativistic treatment of matter fields in chiral perturbation theory while the power counting remains…
Dirac and Weyl semimetals form an ideal platform for testing ideas developed in high energy physics to describe massless relativistic particles. One such quintessentially field-theoretic idea of chiral anomaly already resulted in the…
Here I briefly discuss why supersymmetry is considered a leading candidate of physics beyond the standard model. I also highlight the salient features of different supersymmetry breaking models. A few other symmetries, broken or intact,…
Hyperon-nucleon interactions serve as basic inputs to studies of hypernuclear physics and dense (neutron) stars. Unfortunately, a precise understanding of these important quantities have lagged far behind that of the nucleon-nucleon…
