We examine the phase structure of a QCD-like theory at $\bar\theta =\pi$ obtained from supersymmetric $SU(N)$ QCD perturbed by a small amount of supersymmetry breaking via anomaly mediation (AMSB QCD). The spectrum of this theory matches…

Considered are ${\cal N}=2\, SU(N_c)$ or $U(N_c)$ SQCD with $N_F<2N_c-1$ equal mass quark flavors. ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetry is softly broken down to ${\cal N}=1$ by the mass term $\mu_{\rm x}{\rm Tr}\,(X^2)$ of colored adjoint scalar…

The N=1 superspace generalization of the 3-brane action in 6 dimensions with partially broken N=2 supersymmetry can be constructed using N=1 chiral, complex linear, or real linear superfields. The physical scalars of these multiplets give…

A new mechanism of supersymmetry breaking involving a dynamical parameter is introduced. It is independent of particle phenomenology and gauge groups. An explicit realization of this mechanism takes place in Type II superstring…

In the last twenty years, low-energy (IR) dualities have been found for many pairs of supersymmetric gauge theories with four supercharges, both in four space-time dimensions and in three space-time dimensions. In particular, duals have…

Using the superfield formalism and implementing the canonical noncommutativity, the Kahlerian effective superpotential is evaluated in the three-dimensional noncommutative supersymmetric Chern--Simons-matter model at the two-loop order. The…

Dynamical supersymmetry breaking is considered in models which admit descriptions in terms of electric, confined, or magnetic degrees of freedom in various limits. In this way, a variety of seemingly different theories which break…

We study two-dimensional QED with unequal charges at finite temperature, and show that there is a phase with a spontaneously broken $Z_n$ symmetry. In spite of this, we were not able to establish the presence of domain walls. The relevance…

We find a class of scale-anomaly-free $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric quantum systems with non-vanishing potential terms where space and time scale with distinct exponents. Our results generalise the known case of the supersymmetric inverse…

Two complementary approaches of N = 2 fractional supersymmetric quantum mechanics of order k are studied in this article. The first one, based on a generalized Weyl-Heisenberg algebra W(k) (that comprizes the affine quantum algebra…

We study a ${N=1}$ supersymmetric model in a ${S}^{1}{\times R}^{3}$ spacetime. We find that by choosing appropriate boundary conditions for the contributing fields supersymmetry can be preserved. However if we add a hard supersymmetry…

We formulate the framework of N-fold supersymmetry in one-body quantum mechanical systems with position-dependent mass (PDM). We show that some of the significant properties in the constant-mass case such as the equivalence to weak…

Recently, there have been reports that the chirally restored phase of QCD is effectively symmetric under $U(N_f) \times U(N_f)$ rather than $SU(N_f)\times SU(N_f)$. We supplement their argument by including the contributions from…

The effects of boundary conditions of the fields for the compactified space directions on the supersymmetric theories are discussed. The boundary conditions can be taken to be periodic up to the degrees of freedom of localized $U(1)_{R}$…

The breaking of supersymmetry due to singular potentials in supersymmetric quantum mechanics is critically analyzed. It is shown that, when properly regularized, these potentials respect supersymmetry, even when the regularization parameter…

We study supersymmetric Sp(2N) gauge theories with matter in the antisymmetric tensor representation and F fundamentals. For F=6 we solve the theory exactly in terms of confined degrees of freedom and a superpotential. By adding mass terms…

We present a ``toy'' model for breaking supersymmetric gauge theories at the effective Lagrangian level. We show that it is possible to achieve the decoupling of gluinos and squarks, below a given supersymmetry breaking scale m, in the…

The supersymmetric Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model proposed by Cheng, Dai, Faisel and Kong is re-analyzed by using an auxiliary superfield method in which a hidden local U(1) symmetry emerges. It is shown that, in the healthy field-space region…

We present an N=1 superfield formulation of supersymmetric gauge theories with a compact extra dimension. The formulation incorporates the radion superfield and allows to write supersymmetric theories on warped gravitational backgrounds. We…

We numerically investigate the transition of the static quark-antiquark string into a static-light meson-antimeson system. Improving noise reduction techniques, we are able to resolve the signature of string breaking dynamics for n_f=2…
