We introduce a first order description of linearized non-minimal (n = −1) supergravity in superspace, using the unconstrained prepotential superfield instead of the conventionally constrained super one forms.

Seiberg-Witten geometry, modular rational elliptic surfaces and BPS quivers
We study the Coulomb branches of four-dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theories with N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 supersymmetry, including the KK theories obtained from the circle compactification of the 5d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 E n Seiberg theories,

Twisted Hilbert spaces of 3d supersymmetric gauge theories [PDF]
A bstractWe study aspects of 3d N=2$$ \mathcal{N}=2 $$ supersymmetric gauge theories on the product of a line and a Riemann surface. Performing a topological twist along the Riemann surface leads to an effective supersymmetric quantum mechanics on the ...

Ultraviolet divergences in non-renormalizable supersymmetric theories [PDF]
We present a pedagogical review of our current understanding of the ultraviolet structure of N = (1,1) 6D supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory and of N = 8 4D supergravity. These theories are not renormalizable, they involve power ultraviolet divergences and,

Exploring the strong-coupling region of SU(N) Seiberg-Witten theory
We consider the Seiberg-Witten solution of pure N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 gauge theory in four dimensions, with gauge group SU(N). A simple exact series expansion for the dependence of the 2(N − 1) Seiberg-Witten periods a I (u), a DI (u) on the N − 1 ...

Effective theories of flavor and the nonuniversal MSSM [PDF]
Flavor symmetries a la Froggatt-Nielsen provide a compelling way to explain the hierarchies of fermionic masses and mixing angles in the Yukawa sector. In supersymmetric (SUSY) extensions of the Standard Model where the mediation of SUSY breaking occurs ...

Background field formalism and construction of effective action for N = 2, d = 3 supersymmetric gauge theories [PDF]
We review the background field method for three-dimensional Yang-Mills and Chern-Simons models in N = 2 superspace. Superfield proper time (heat kernel) techniques are developed and exact expressions of heat kernels for constant backgrounds are presented.

Spin supplementary condition in quantum field theory: covariant SSC and physical state projection
The spin supplementary conditions are constraints on spin degrees of freedom in classical relativity which restricts physical degrees of freedom to rotations.

Instanton effects in supersymmetric gauge theories [PDF]
Abstract We investigate how in supersymmetric gauge theories non-perturbative effects are able to generate non-trivial vacuum properties otherwise forbidden by perturbative non-renormalization theorems. This conclusion can be reliably drawn since the constancy of certain Green functions — due to supersymmetry (SUSY) — allows one to connect vacuum ...

Wilson Loops in Antisymmetric Representations from Localization in Supersymmetric Gauge Theories [PDF]
Large-[Formula: see text] phase transitions occurring in massive [Formula: see text] theories can be probed by Wilson loops in large antisymmetric representations.
