Supersymmetric $\sigma$-models obtained by constraining linear supersymmetric field theories are ill defined. Well defined subsectors parametrising Kahler manifolds exist but are not believed to arise directly from constrained linear ones.…

Supersymmetric non-linear sigma-models are described by a field dependent Kaehler metric determining the kinetic terms. In general it is not guaranteed that this metric is always invertible. Our aim is to investigate the symmetry structure…

We demonstrate how hyper-Kahler manifolds arise from a sigma-model action for N=4, d=1 tensor supermultiplet after dualization of the auxiliary bosonic component into a physical bosonic one.

Continuing the investigation of CNM (chiral-nonminimal) hypermultiplet nonlinear sigma-models, we propose extensions of the concept of the c-map which relate holomorphic functions to hyper-Kahler geometries. In particular, we show that a…

The scalars of an N = 1 supersymmetric sigma-model in 4 dimensions parameterize a Kaehler manifold. The transformations of their fermionic superpartners under the isometries are often anomalous. These anomalies can be canceled by…

We consider additional properties of CNM (chiral-nonminimal) models. We show how 4D, N = 2 nonlinear sigma-models can be described solely in terms of N = 1 superfield CNM doublets. These actions are described by a Kahler potential together…

N=2 supersymmetric field theories in two dimensions have been extensively studied in the last few years. Many of their properties can be determined along the whole renormalization group flow, like their coupling dependence and soliton…

Superconducting quantum symmetries in extended single-band 1-dimensional Hubbard models are shown to originate from the classical (pseudo-)spin SO(4) symmetry of a class of models of which the standard Hubbard model is a special case.…

Starting from a N=1 scalar supermultiplet in 2+1 dimensions, we demonstrate explicitly the appearance of induced N=1 vector and scalar supermultiplets of composite operators made out of the fundamental supersymmetric constituents. We…

Supersymmetry broken geometrically in extra dimensions naturally leads to a nearly degenerate spectrum for superparticles, ameliorating the bounds from the current searches at the LHC. We present a minimal such model with a single extra…

N = 2 supersymmetry in four space-time dimensions is intimately related to hyperkahler and quaternionic Kahler geometries. On one hand, the target spaces for rigid supersymmetric sigma-models are necessarily hyperkahler manifolds. On the…

An extended class of N=2 locally supersymmetric invariants with higher-derivative couplings based on full superspace integrals, is constructed. These invariants may depend on unrestricted chiral supermultiplets, on vector supermultiplets…

I point out that standard two dimensional, asymptotically free, non-linear sigma models, supplemented with terms giving a mass to the would-be Goldstone bosons, share many properties with four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories, and…

It is shown that N=2 supersymmetric theories with central charges present some hidden quartic symmetry. This enables us to construct representations of the quartic structure induced by superalgebra representations.

We propose a framework for the low-energy realization of supersymmetry which is very predictive, but differs radically in its phenomenological implications from the supersymmetric Standard Model (minimal or otherwise). The proposal consists…

A first-order `BPS' equation is obtained for 1/8 supersymmetric intersections of soliton-membranes (lumps) of supersymmetric (4+1)-dimensional massless sigma models, and a special non-singular solution is found that preserves 1/4…

We consider the fully constrained version of the next-to-minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model (cNMSSM) in which a singlet Higgs superfield is added to the two doublets that are present in the minimal extension (MSSM).…

We consider non-supersymmetric four-dimensional closed string theories constructed out of tensor products of N=2 minimal models. Generically such theories have closed string tachyons, but these may be removed either by choosing a…

Supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models are obtained from linear sigma models by imposing supersymmetric constraints. If we introduce auxiliary chiral and vector superfields, these constraints can be expressed by D-terms and F-terms depending…

This paper is an extension of our last 1D, N = 4 supersymmetric SYK paper [arXiv:2103.11899]. In this paper we introduced the complex linear supermultiplet (CLS), which is "usefully inequivalent" to the chiral supermultiplet. We construct…
