We present a careful study of the chiral symmetry breaking minima and other potential minima in supersymmetric symplectic QCD ($Sp(N_c)$ with $N_f$ flavors) perturbed by Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking (AMSB). Although the case of…

We demonstrate that two-dimensional N=8 supersymmetric quantum mechanics which inherits the most interesting properties of $N=2, d=4$ SYM can be constructed if the reduction to one dimension is performed in terms of the basic object, i.e.…

In the framework of superfield approach, we derive the local, covariant, continuous and nilpotent (anti-)BRST and (anti-)co-BRST symmetry transformations on the U(1) gauge field $(A_\mu)$ and the (anti-)ghost fields $((\bar C)C)$ of the…

We study N=2 supersymmetric quantum mechanics of a charged particle on sphere in the background of Dirac magnetic monopole. We adopt CP(1) model approach in which the monopole interaction is free of singularity. In order to exploit manifest…

This paper consists of two (still only vaguely) related parts: in the first, we briefly review work done in the past three years on the ``planar equivalence" between a class of non-supersymmetric theories (including limiting cases of QCD)…

Inequalities for QCD functional integrals are used to establish that up to certain technical assumptions. the high temperature chirally restored phase of QCD is effectively symmetric under $U(N_f) \times U(N_f)$ rather than $SU(N_f) \times…

We develop a systematic algorithm for constructing an N-fold supersymmetric system from a given vector space invariant under one of the supercharges. Applying this algorithm to spaces of monomials, we construct a new multi-parameter family…

In this paper we introduce a new class of theories which dynamically break supersymmetry based on the gauge group SU(n)xSU(3)xU(1) for even n. These theories are interesting in that no dynamical superpotential is generated in the absence of…

We find non-supersymmetric metastable vacua in four dimensional N=2 gauge theories softly broken to N=1 by a superpotential term. First we study the simplest case, namely the SU(2) gauge theory without flavors. We study the spectrum and…

The Nelson-Seiberg theorem relates R-symmetries to F-term supersymmetry breaking, and provides a guiding rule for new physics model building beyond the Standard Model. A revision of the theorem gives a necessary and sufficient condition to…

We present a detailed study of the analytic structure, BPS spectra and superconformal points of the $ N=2 $ susy $ SU(2) $ gauge theories with $ N_f=1,2,3 $ massive quark hypermultiplets. We compute the curves of marginal stability with the…

The low energy mass spectrum of QCD in the large $N_C$ limit is computed. The low-lying states in the meson spectrum are explicitly evaluated up to the fourth order in the strong coupling perturbative expansion. The 't Hooft limit is smooth…

Supersymmetry breaking by the quantum deformation of a classical moduli space is considered. A simple, non-chiral, renormalizable model is presented to illustrate this mechanism. The well known, chiral, $SU(3) \times SU(2)$ model and its…

Some formal aspects of supersymmetry breaking are reviewed. The classic "requirements" for supersymmetry breaking include chiral matter, a dynamical superpotential, and a classical superpotential which completely lifts the moduli space.…

We elaborate on a novel model of N=4 supersymmetric mechanics with extra spin variables. A dynamical linear (1,4,3) multiplet is coupled to a "semi-dynamical" linear (3,4,1) multiplet representing spin degrees of freedom in a Wess-Zumino…

We study the structure of QCD at very large baryon density for an arbitrary number of flavors $N_f$. We provide evidence that for any number of flavors larger than $N_f=2$ chiral symmetry remains broken at asymptotically large chemical…

Applying the recently obtained results on the renormalization of soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters, we investigate the infrared behaviour of the softly broken supersymmetric QCD as well as its dual theory in the conformal window. Under…

We show that the single-mode parafermionic type systems possess supersymmetry, which is based on the symmetry of characteristic functions of the parafermions related to the generalized deformed oscillator of Daskaloyannis et al. The…

We revisit the symmetries of massless two-dimensional adjoint QCD with gauge group $SU(N)$. The dynamics is not sufficiently constrained by the ordinary symmetries and anomalies. Here we show that the theory in fact admits $\sim 2^{2N}$…

$\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) is a possible building block of theories beyond the standard model. It describes the interaction between gluons and quarks with their superpartners, gluinos and squarks. Since supersymmetry is…
