Enhancement of global symmetry and supersymmetry in the infrared is one of the most intriguing phenomena in quantum field theory. We investigate such phenomena in a large class of three dimensional superconformal field theories, known as…
We review the subject of spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. First we consider supersymmetry breaking in a semiclassical theory. We illustrate it with several examples, demonstrating different phenomena, including metastable supersymmetry…
We prove a family of partition identities which is "dual" to the family of Andrews-Gordon's identities. These identities are inspired by a correspondence between a special type of partitions and "hypergraphs" and their proof uses…
In this paper, we provide a general framework for counting geometric structures in pseudo-random graphs. As applications, our theorems recover and improve several results on the finite field analog of questions originally raised in the…
In this paper, we study various classes of partition functions such as those related to the parity of the number of parts, to differences of partition numbers, and to partitions with a repeated smallest part. We establish identities…
We review how the (quantum) cluster algebra naturally emerges in the study of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories.
Exact solutions to the low-energy effective action of the four-dimensional, N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories with matter (including N=2 super-QCD) are discussed from the three different viewpoints: (i) instanton calculus, (ii) N=2 harmonic…
Four-dimensional string theories predict in general the existence of light exotic particles with fractional electric charges. Such particles could escape present observations if they are confined by a gauge group of the "hidden" sector into…
We consider the use of Goldbach numbers as random sequences. The randomness is analyzed in terms of the autocorrelation function of the sequence of number of partitions. The distinct representations of an even number n as the sum of two…
An explicit construction of theories of spinning particles, both massive and massless, is given with arbitrary extended supersymmetry on the world-line. As an application of our results, we give a universal description of 3D (and via…
The paper contains an exposition of part of topology using partitions of unity. The main idea is to create variants of the Tietze Extension Theorem and use them to derive classical theorems. This idea leads to a new result generalizing…
This is an informal discussion on one of the basic problems in the theory of empirical processes, addressed in our preprint "Combinatorics of random processes and sections of convex bodies", which is available at ArXiV and from our web…
We study three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories on $\mathcal{M}_{g,p}$, an oriented circle bundle of degree $p$ over a closed Riemann surface, $\Sigma_g$. We compute the $\mathcal{M}_{g,p}$ supersymmetric partition…
A conjectural relationship between the GUE partition function with even couplings and certain special cubic Hodge integrals over the moduli spaces of stable algebraic curves is under consideration.
We study statistics of tiles in random incommensurable Kakutani sequences of partitions in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We provide explicit formulas that illustrate the dependence on the combinatorial structure, the volumes of the participating tiles…
The paper addresses the question whether in four spacetime dimensions, besides standard supergravity theories, field theories exist whose symmetries include local spacetime translations and supersymmetries generated by transformations whose…
Mass partition problems describe the partitions we can induce on a family of measures or finite sets of points in Euclidean spaces by dividing the ambient space into pieces. In this survey we describe recent progress in the area in addition…
Recently, $4$-regular partitions into distinct parts are connected with a family of overpartitions. In this paper, we provide a uniform extension of two relations due to Andrews for the two types of partitions. Such an extension is made…
We report on a recent progress in constructing off-shell ${\cal N}=2, 4D$ supersymmetric integer higher-spin theory in terms of unconstrained harmonic analytic gauge superfields and their cubic interaction with the matter hypermultiplets.…
We demonstrate that statistics for several types of set partitions are described by generating functions which appear in the theory of integrable equations.
