Self-duality and supersymmetry

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2010
We observe that the Hamiltonian H = D^2, where D is the flat 4d Dirac operator in a self-dual gauge background, is supersymmetric, admitting 4 different real supercharges. A generalization of this model to the motion on a curved conformally flat 4d manifold exists.

Duality and supersymmetry breaking in string theory [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 1990
Abstract Target-space duality is incorporated in previously proposed effective actions describing non-perturbative supersymmetry breaking in string theory via gaugino condensation. Duality-preserving vacua with broken supersymmetry and fixed unified coupling constant do generically occur.

N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 supersymmetry deformations, electromagnetic duality and Dirac-Born-Infeld actions [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We study the general deformation of N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 supersymmetry transformations of a vector multiplet that forms a (constant) triplet under the SU(2) R-symmetry corresponding to the magnetic dual of the triplet of the Fayet-Iliopoulos (FI ...

N=2 Supersymmetry and U(1)-Duality

open access: yesPhysical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, 2012
Understanding the consequences of the E_{7(7)} duality on the UV properties of N=8 supergravity requires unravelling when and how duality-covariant actions can be constructed so as to accommodate duality-invariant counter-terms. For non-supersymmetric abelian gauge theories exhibiting U(1)-duality, with and without derivative couplings, it was shown ...

On T-Duality and Supersymmetry

open access: yes, 1995
The interplay between T-duality and supersymmetry in string theory is explored. It is shown that T-duality is always compatible with supersymmetry and simply changes a local realization to a non-local one and vice versa. Non-local realizations become natural using classical parafermions of the underlying conformal field theory.

Gaugino condensation, duality and supersymmetry breaking [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1996
The status of gaugino condensation in low-energy string theory is reviewed. Emphasis is given to the determination of the efective action below condensation scale in terms of the 2PI and Wilson actions. We illustrate how the different perturbative duality symmetries survive this simple nonperturbative phenomenon, providing evidence for the believe that

Duality, partial supersymmetry, and arithmetic number theory [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Physics, 1998
We find examples of duality among quantum theories that are related to arithmetic functions by identifying distinct Hamiltonians that have identical partition functions at suitably related coupling constants or temperatures. We are led to this after first developing the notion of partial supersymmetry, in which some, but not all, of the operators of a ...

Duality after Supersymmetry Breaking [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Starting with two supersymmetric dual theories, we imagine adding a chiral perturbation that breaks supersymmetry dynamically. At low energy we then get two theories with soft supersymmetry-breaking terms that are generated dynamically. With a canonical Kahler potential, some of the scalars of the "magnetic" theory typically have negative mass-squared,
