In this thesis we examine a set of foundational questions concerning closed forms in superspace. By reformulating a number of definitions through the use of a new ring of (anti-)commuting variables and the concept of an exact Bianchi form,…
We present an explicit formulation of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories from $\D=$ 5 to 10 dimensions in the familiar $\N=1,\D=4$ superspace. This provides the rules for globally supersymmetric model building with extra dimensions and in…
A re-imagining of the supergravity prepotential formulation of 4D, $\cal N$ = 1 supergravity and its Salam-Strathdee superfield superconformal gauge group is presented.
We show via use of the RADIO technique that an off-shell (4,0) version of the hypermultiplet, in the form first proposed by Fayet, exists and contains 28 - 28 component fields. The off-shell structure uncovered is found to include a chiral…
An Adinkra is a graph from the study of supersymmetry in particle physics, but it can be adapted to study Clifford algebra representations. The graph in this context is called a Cliffordinkra, and puts some standard ideas in Clifford…
These Lectures have been given at Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati in the month of March, 2005. The main idea was to provide our young collegues, who joined us in our attempts to understand the structure of $N$-extended supersymmetric…
We survey the combinatorics of the Adinkra, a graphical device for solving differential equations in supersymmetry. These graphs represent an exceptional class of 1-factorizations with further augmentations. As a new feature, we…
Three dimensional dendrites are studied with a coupled map lattice model. We study the fractal dimensions, the f(\alpha) spectrum, the size distribution of sidebranches, and the envelope formed by sidebranches.
Recent work on classicication of off-shell representations of N-extended worldline supersymmetry without central charges has uncovered an unexpectedly vast number--trillions of even just (chromo)topology types--of so called adinkraic…
The symmetry classification method is applied to the string-like scalar fields in two-dimensional space-time. When the configurational space is three-dimensional and reducible we present the complete list of the systems admiting higher…
We demonstrate a method for describing one-dimensional N-extended supermultiplets and building supersymmetric actions in terms of unconstrained prepotential superfields, explicitly working with the Scalar supermultiplet. The method uses…
A short survey of some aspects of harmonic superspace is given. In particular, the $d=3, N=8$ scalar supermultiplet and the $d=6, N=(2,0)$ tensor multiplet are described as analytic superfields in appropriately defined harmonic superspaces.
We derive the component Lagrangian for the free $N$-extended on-shell massless higher spin supermultiplets in four-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. The construction is based on frame-like description of massless integer and half-integer…
We consider supersymmetry in five dimensions, where the fermionic parameters are a 2-form under SL(5). Supermultiplets are investigated using the pure spinor superfield formalism, and are found to be closely related to infinite-dimensional…
Any 4d theory possessing $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry admits a so called $\mathcal{S}$-multiplet, containing the conserved energy-momentum tensor and supercurrent. When a defect is introduced into such a theory, the $\mathcal{S}$-multiplet…
The simplest supersymmetry algebra and superspace in three dimensional Euclidean (3dE) space is examined. Representations of the algebra are considered and the implications of restricting the space of states to states with positive definite…
The symmetric spaces that appear as moduli spaces in string theory and supergravity can be decomposed with explicit metrics using parabolic subgroups. The resulting isometry between the original moduli space and this decomposition can be…
We ask when it is possible to construct arbitrary unitary multiplets of the superconformal algebra with eight Poincar\'e supercharges that are compatible with locality from (continuous deformations of) representations in free field…
The supersymmetric hybrid formalism for Type II strings is used to study partial supersymmetry breaking in four and three dimensions. We use worldsheet techniques to derive effects of internal Ramond-Ramond fluxes such as torsions,…
We present a counter-example to the recent claim that supermultiplets of N-extended supersymmetry with no central charge and in 1-dimension are specified unambiguously by providing the numbers of component fields in all available…
