1/N Expansion of the 2D CPN−1 Model on Non(anti)commutative Superspace
We study UV properties of the two-dimensional supersymmetric CP N −1 model on non(anti)commutative superspace. We show that the deformed model has the same UV property as the ordinary model in the leading order of 1/N and that the deformation gives rise to UV divergence which cannot be dealt with in the next-to-leading order.

Interaction between M2-branes and bulk form fields
We construct the interaction terms between the world-volume fields of multiple M2-branes and the 3-and 6-form fields in the context of ABJM theory with U(N)×U(N) gauge symmetry. A consistency check is made in the simplest case of a single M2-brane i.e., our construction matches the known effective action of M2-brane coupled to antisymmetric 3-form field. We show that when dimensionally reduced, our couplings coincide with the effective action of D2-branes coupled to R-R 3-and 5-form fields in type IIA string theory. We also comment on the relation between a coupling with a specific 6-form field configuration and the supersymmetry preserving mass deformation in ABJM theory.

Fermionic T-duality and Morita equivalence
In this paper we investigate the relationship between the so-called fermionic T-duality and the Morita equivalence of noncommutative supertori. We first get an action satisfying the BRST invariance under nonvanishing constant R-R and NS-NS backgrounds in the hybrid formalism. We investigate the effect of bosonic T-duality transformation together with fermionic T-duality transformation in this background and look for the resultant symmetry of transformations. We find that the duality transformations correspond to Morita equivalence of noncommutative supertori. In particular, we obtain the symmetry group $ {\text{SO}}\left( {2,2,\mathcal{V}_\mathbb{Z}^0} \right) $ in two dimensions, where $ \mathcal{V}_\mathbb{Z}^0 $ denotes Grassmann even number whose body part belongs to $ \mathbb{Z} $.

Morita equivalence of noncommutative supertori
In this paper we study the extension of Morita equivalence of noncommutative tori to the supersymmetric case. The structure of the symmetry group yielding Morita equivalence appears to be intact but its parameter field becomes supersymmetrized having both body and soul parts. Our result is mainly in the two dimensional case in which noncommutative supertori have been constructed recently: The group SO(2,2,VZ0), where VZ0 denotes Grassmann even number whose body part belongs to Z, yields Morita equivalent noncommutative supertori in two dimensions.

Deformation of super Yang-Mills theories in R-R 3-form background
We study deformation of = 2 and = 4 super Yang-Mills theories, which are obtained as the low-energy effective theories on the (fractional) D3-branes in the presence of constant Ramond-Ramond 3-form background. We calculate the Lagrangian at the second order in the deformation parameter from open string disk amplitudes. In = 4 case we find that all supersymmetries are broken for generic deformation parameter but part of supersymmetries are unbroken for special case. We also find that classical vacua admit fuzzy sphere configuration. In = 2 case we determine the deformed supersymmetries. We rewrite the deformed Lagrangians in terms of = 1 superspace, where the deformation is interpreted as that of coupling constants.

Central charges in non(anti)commutative N=2 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory
Abstract We study the central charge of the deformed N = ( 1 , 0 ) supersymmetry algebra in non(anti)commutative N = 2 supersymmetric U ( N ) gauge theory. In the cases of N = 1 / 2 superspace and N = 2 harmonic superspace with the singlet deformation, we find that the central charge is deformed by the non(anti)commutative parameters but depends on the electric and magnetic charges. For generic deformation of N = 2 harmonic superspace, we compute the O ( C ) correction to the central charges in the case of U ( 1 ) gauge group.

Suzaku discovery of Fe K-shell line from the O-rich SNR G292.0+1.8
We report the Suzaku/XIS results of the Galactic oxygen-rich supernova remnant (SNR), G292.0+1.8, a remnant of a core-collapse supernova. The X-ray spectrum of G292.0+1.8 consists of two type plasmas, one is in collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE) and the other is in non-equilibrium ionization (NEI). The CIE plasma has nearly solar abundances, and hence would be originated from the circumstellar and interstellar mediums. The NEI plasma has super-solar abundances, and the abundance pattern indicates that the plasma originates from the supernova ejecta with a main sequence of 30-35 Msolar. Iron K-shell line at energy of 6.6 keV is detected for the first time in the NEI plasma.

Single event effect characterization of the mixed-signal ASIC developed for CCD camera in space use
Abstract We present the single event effect (SEE) tolerance of a mixed-signal application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) developed for a charge-coupled device camera onboard a future X-ray astronomical mission. We adopted proton and heavy ion beams at HIMAC/NIRS in Japan. The particles with high linear energy transfer (LET) of 57.9 MeV cm 2 / mg is used to measure the single event latch-up (SEL) tolerance, which results in a sufficiently low cross-section of σ SEL 4.2 × 10 − 11 cm 2 /(Ion×ASIC). The single event upset (SEU) tolerance is estimated with various kinds of species with wide range of energy. Taking into account that a part of the protons creates recoiled heavy ions that have higher LET than that of the incident protons, we derived the probability of SEU event as a function of LET. Then the SEE event rate in a low-earth orbit is estimated considering a simulation result of LET spectrum. SEL rate is below once per 49 years, which satisfies the required latch-up tolerance. The upper limit of the SEU rate is derived to be 1.3×10 −3  events/s. Although the SEU events cannot be distinguished from the signals of X-ray photons from astronomical objects, the derived SEU rate is below 1.3% of expected non-X-ray background rate of the detector and hence these events should not be a major component of the instrumental background.

Quiver Varieties and Tensor Products, II
We define a family of homomorphisms on a collection of convolution algebras associated with quiver varieties, which gives a kind of coproduct on the Yangian associated with a symmetric Kac-Moody Lie algebra. We study its property using perverse sheaves.

Instanton counting on blowup. II. K-theoretic partition
function
AbstractWe study Nekrasov's deformed partition function $Z(\varepsilon_1,\varepsilon_2,\vec{a};\mathfrak q,\boldsymbol\beta)$ of 5-dimensional supersymmetric
Yang-Mills theory compactified on a circle. Mathematically it is the
generating function of the characters of the coordinate rings of the moduli
spaces of instantons on $\mathbb R^4$. We show that it satisfies a system of
functional equations, called blowup equations, whose solution is unique.
As applications, we prove (a) $F(\varepsilon_1,\varepsilon_2,\vec{a};\mathfrak q,\boldsymbol\beta) = \varepsilon_1\varepsilon_2 \log Z(\varepsilon_1,\varepsilon_2,\vec{a};\mathfrak q,\boldsymbol\beta)$ is regular at $\varepsilon_1 = \varepsilon_2 = 0$ (a part of Nekrasov's conjecture), and (b) the genus $1$ parts, which are first several Taylor coefficients of $F(\varepsilon_1,\varepsilon_2,\vec{a};\mathfrak q,\boldsymbol\beta)$, are written explicitly in terms of $\tau = d^2 F(0,0,\vec{a};\mathfrak q,\boldsymbol\beta)/da^2$ in rank $2$ case.

A test of the Kugo–Ojima confinement criterion by lattice Landau gauge QCD simulations
in the strong coupling region. The data isanalysed in connection with the theory of Zwanziger. In the weak coupling region, theexpectation value of the horizon function is negative or consistent to 0.1. IntroductionThere are various manifestation of colour conﬁnement in QCD. One is the linear poten-tial between quarks, which appears in the quenched lattice QCD simulation. A mechanismfor the appearance of the linear potential was proposed as well by Gribov [1] about 20years ago. He showed that the Landau gauge ﬁxing or the Coulomb gauge ﬁxing does notﬁx the gauge ﬁeld A
