We address the construction of manifest U-duality invariant generalized diffeomorphisms. The closure of the algebra requires an extension of the tangent space to include a tensor hierarchy indicating the existence of an underlying unifying…

Six-dimensional (1,0) supersymmetric gauged Einstein-Maxwell supergravity is extended by the inclusion of a supersymmetric Riemann tensor squared invariant. Both the original model as well as the Riemann tensor squared invariant are…

Hamiltonian mechanics of field theory can be formulated in a generally covariant and background independent manner over a finite dimensional extended configuration space. The physical symplectic structure of the theory can then be defined…

The so-called covariant Poincare lemma on the induced cohomology of the spacetime exterior derivative in the cohomology of the gauge part of the BRST differential is extended to cover the case of arbitrary, non reductive Lie algebras. As a…

The fourth derivative models for two dimensional gravity are shown to be equivalent to the special version of the nonlinear sigma models coupled to 2d quantum gravity. The reduction consists in the introduction of the auxiliary scalar…

We consider invariant covariant derivatives on reductive homogeneous spaces corresponding to the well-known invariant affine connections. These invariant covariant derivatives are expressed in terms of horizontally lifted vector fields on…

Lagrangian of a classical conformal Yang-Mills field in the flat space of even dimension greater than or equal to six involves higher derivatives. We study Lagrangian formulation of the classical conformal Yang-Mills field by using…

A topological monopole-like field configuration exists for Yang-Mills gauge fields in a 4+1 dimensions. When the extra dimension is compactified to 3+1 dimensions with periodic lattice boundary conditions, these objects reappear in the low…

It has long been appreciated that the toroidal reduction of any gravity or supergravity to two dimensions gives rise to a scalar coset theory exhibiting an infinite-dimensional global symmetry. This symmetry is an extension of the…

We propose gauge-Higgs unification in fuzzy extra dimensions as a possible solution to the Higgs naturalness problem. In our approach, the fuzzy extra dimensions are created spontaneously as a vacuum solution of certain four-dimensional…

A general action is proposed for the fields of $q$-dimensional differential form over the compact Riemannian manifold of arbitrary dimensions. Mathematical tools are based on the well-known de Rham-Kodaira decomposing theorem on harmonic…

We present an approach to cosmological perturbations based on a covariant perturbative expansion between two worldlines in the real inhomogeneous universe. As an application, at an arbitrary order we define an exact scalar quantity which…

We discuss the recent developments in the generalized continuous Heisenberg ferromagnet model formulated as a nonrelativistic field theory defined on the target space of the coadjoint orbits. Hermitian symmetric spaces are special because…

We investigate a global sigma model anomaly in two-dimensional sigma models with Majorana--Weyl fermions coupled to a sigma model field with target space~$G$. The anomaly originates from the nontrivial topology of the space of maps and…

A modified generally covariant Yang-Mills action, which depends on the complex structure of spacetime and not its metric, is proved to be renormalizable. This proof makes this Lagrangian model the unique known generally covariant four…

It is shown that the Scherk-Schwarz reduction of M-theory in the Berman-Perry duality invariant formalism to 6 and 5 dimensions reproduces the known structures of gauged supergravities that are normally associated to non-geometric…

The gravitational dynamics and cosmological implications of three classes of recently introduced multi-scale spacetimes (with, respectively, ordinary, weighted and q-derivatives) are discussed. These spacetimes are non-Riemannian: the…

Standard discussions of Goldstone's theorem based on a symmetry of the action assume constant fields and global transformations, i.e., transformations which are independent of spacetime coordinates. By allowing for arbitrary field…

Motivated by the problem of expanding single-trace tree-level amplitude of Einstein-Yang-Mills theory to the BCJ basis of Yang-Mills amplitudes, we present an alternative expansion formula in the gauge invariant vector space. Starting from…

We study $(2,2)$ and $(4,4)$ supersymmetric theories with superspace higher derivatives in two dimensions. A characteristic feature of these models is that they have several different vacua, some of which break supersymmetry. Depending on…
