We consider the superfield formulation of supersymmetric gauge and matter field theories on a three-dimensional sphere with rigid ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetry, as well as with ${\cal N}> 2$. The construction is based on a supercoset…
Following a strictly geometric approach we construct globally supersymmetric scalar field theories on the supersphere, defined as the quotient space $S^{2|2} = UOSp(1|2)/\mathcal{U}(1)$. We analyze the superspace geometry of the…
We construct lattice actions for a variety of (2,2) supersymmetric gauge theories in two dimensions with matter fields interacting via a superpotential.
We construct a supergeometry based on S^2XS^2 on which four dimensional N=2 gauge theories can be placed supersymmetrically while preserving all supersymmetries. By embedding the supergeometry in four dimensional N=2 supergravity we are…
We focus on the superfield formulation for a N = 2 vector supermultiplet in two dimensional spacetime and explicitly show that the Wess-Zumino gauge condition for a N = 2 superfield is compatible with familiar SUSY (plus U(1) gauge)…
In this paper, we construct a lattice formulation for two-dimensional N=(2,2) supersymmetric gauge theory with matter fields in the fundamental representation. We first construct it by the orbifolding procedure from Yang-Mills matrix theory…
We review exact results in N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories defined on S^4 and its deformation. We first summarize the construction of rigid SUSY theories on curved backgrounds based on off-shell supergravity, then explain how to apply…
We construct a supermatrix model which has a classical solution representing the noncommutative (fuzzy) two-supersphere. Expanding supermatrices around the classical background, we obtain a gauge theory on a noncommutative superspace on…
We develop a general gauge invariant construction of the one-loop effective action for supersymmetric gauge field theories formulated in ${\cal N}=1/2$ superspace. Using manifestly covariant techniques (the background superfield method and…
We construct two-dimensional ${\cal N} = (2, 2)$ supersymmetric gauge theories on a Euclidean spacetime lattice with matter in the two-index symmetric and anti-symmetric representations of SU($N_c$) color group. These lattice theories…
We present rigid supersymmetric backgrounds for three-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories, comprising a two-parameter U(1)xU(1)-invariant deformed three-sphere, and their gravity duals. These are described by supersymmetric…
Using localization techniques, we compute the path integral of $N=2$ SUSY gauge theory coupled to matter on the hemisphere $HS^4$, with either Dirichlet or Neumann supersymmetric boundary conditions. The resulting quantities are…
We study Euclidean 3D N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories on squashed three-spheres preserving isometries SU(2) x U(1) or U(1) x U(1). We show that, when a suitable background U(1) gauge field is turned on, these squashed spheres support…
We study gauge theories with N=1 supersymmetry in 2+1 dimensions. We start by calculating the 1-loop effective superpotential for matter in an arbitrary representation. We then restrict ourselves to gauge theories with fundamental matter.…
We present a formulation of gravity in terms of a theory based on complex SU(2) gauge fields with a general coordinate invariant action functional quadratic in the field strength. Self-duality or anti-self-duality of the field strength…
Gauge fields of mixed symmetry, corresponding to arbitrary representations of the local Lorentz group of the background spacetime, arise as massive modes in compactifications of superstring theories. We describe bosonic gauge field theories…
We construct the gravity duals of large N supersymmetric gauge theories defined on squashed five-spheres with SU(3) x U(1) symmetry. These five-sphere backgrounds are continuously connected to the round sphere, and we find a one-parameter…
We study $N=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories on a large family of squashed 4-spheres preserving $SU(2)\times U(1)\subset SO(4)$ isometry and determine the conditions under which this background is supersymmetric. We then compute the…
We extend the formula for partition functions of N=2 superconformal gauge theories on S^3 obtained recently by Kapustin, Willett and Yaakov, to incorporate matter fields with arbitrary R-charge assignments. We use the result to check that…
We formulate new gauge principles for n supersymmetric particles in a worldline formalism with N supersymmetries. The models provide realizations of the more general supersymmetries that are encountered in sectors of S-theory or Matrix…
