Superintegrable systems with monopole interactions in flat and curved spaces have attracted much attention. For example, models in spaces with a Taub-NUT metric are well-known to admit the Kepler-type symmetries and provide non-trivial…

We derive actions for projective N=2 superspace ("hyperspace") from those for harmonic hyperspace, including that for nonabelian Yang-Mills (a new result). The method uses Wick rotation of the sphere from complex conjugate coordinates to…

We consider the action of the (combinatorial) Laplacian of a finite and simple graph on integer vectors. By a \emph{Laplacian monopole} we mean an image vector negative at exactly one coordinate associated with a vertex. We consider a…

A special generic map is a smooth map regarded as a natural generalization of Morse functions with just 2 singular points on homotopy spheres. Canonical projections of unit spheres are simplest examples of such maps and manifolds admitting…

There is a classical extension, of M\"obius automorphisms of the Riemann sphere into isometries of the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^3$, which is called the Poincar\'e extension. In this paper, we construct extensions of rational maps on the…

Three-dimensional field theories with N=3 and N=4 supersymmetries are considered in the framework of the harmonic-superspace approach. Analytic superspaces of these supersymmetries are similar; however, the geometry of gauge theories with…

We prove the rigidity of isotropic harmonic maps from a 2-torus to a complex projective space, when they are constructed from holomorphic embeddings associated to complete linear systems. We also prove that this rigidity holds for any…

Special generic maps are smooth maps between smooth manifolds with only definite fold points as their singularities. The problem of whether a closed $n$-manifold admits a special generic map into Euclidean $p$-space for $1 \leq p \leq n$…
