Vortex-type Half-BPS Solitons in ABJM Theory
We study Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena (ABJM) theory without and with mass deformation. It is shown that maximally supersymmetry preserving, D-term, and F-term mass deformations of single mass parameter are equivalent. We obtain vortex-type halfBPS equations and the corresponding energy bound. For the undeformed ABJM theory, the resulting half-BPS equation is the same as that in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and no finite energy regular BPS solution is found. For the mass-deformed ABJM theory, the halfBPS equations for U(2)×U(2) case reduce to the vortex equation in Maxwell-Higgs theory, which supports static regular multi-vortex solutions. In U(N)×U(N) case with N > 2 the nonabelian vortex equation of Yang-Mills-Higgs theory is obtained.

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.

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.

Noncommutative supertori in two dimensions
First we consider the deformations of superspaces with = (1, 1) and = (2, 2) supersymmetries in two dimensions. Among these the construction of noncommutative supertorus with odd spin structure is possible only in the case of = (2, 2) supersymmetry broken down to = (1, 1). However, for the even spin structures the construction of noncommutative supertorus is possible for both = (1, 1) and = (2, 2) cases. The spin structures are realized by implementing the translational properties along the cycles of commutative supertorus in the operator version: Odd spin structure is realized by the translation in the fermionic direction in the same manner as in the construction of noncommutative torus, and even spin structures are realized with appropriate versions of the spin angular momentum operator.

Instanton Effective Action in Deformed Super Yang-Mills Theories
We study the ADHM construction of instantons in N = 2 supersymmetric Yang‐Mills theory deformed in constant Ramond‐Ramond (R‐R) 3‐form field strength background in type IIB superstrings. We compare the deformed instanton effective action with the effective action of fractional D3/D(−1) branes at the orbifold singularity of C2/Z2 in the same R‐R background. We find discrepancy between them at the second order in deformation parameters, which comes from the coupling of the translational zero modes of the D(−1)‐branes to the R‐R background. We improve the deformed action by adding a term with spacetime dependent gauge coupling such that the action reproduces the effective action of the fractional branes.

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} $.

K-theoretic Donaldson invariants via instanton counting
In this paper we study the holomorphic Euler characteristics of determinant line bundles on moduli spaces of rank 2 semistable sheaves on an algebraic surface X, which can be viewed as $K$-theoretic versions of the Donaldson invariants. In particular, if X is a smooth projective toric surface, we determine these invariants and their wallcrossing in terms of the K-theoretic version of the Nekrasov partition function (called 5-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory compactified on a circle in the physics literature). Using the results of math.AG/0606180 we give an explicit generating function for the wallcrossing of these invariants in terms of elliptic functions and modular forms.

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.

Counting invariant of perverse coherent sheaves and its wall-crossing
We introduce moduli spaces of stable perverse coherent systems on small crepant resolutions of Calabi-Yau 3-folds and consider their Donaldson-Thomas type counting invariants. The stability depends on the choice of a component (= a chamber) in the complement of finitely many lines (= walls) in the plane. We determine all walls and compute generating functions of invariants for all choices of chambers when the Calabi-Yau is the resolved conifold. For suitable choices of chambers, our invariants are specialized to Donaldson-Thomas, Pandharipande-Thomas and Szendroi invariants.

The X-ray Study of Small-Scale Shock Structures in the Non-thermal SNRs
The shock front of SNRs is the most probable acceleration site of high energy particles (up to, or more than TeV) as already confirmed by the hard X-ray observations of the synchrotron emission from accelerated electrons. The remarkable spatial resolution of the X-ray observatory Chandra enables us to investigate the small-scale structure of the spatial distribution of accelerated electrons close to the shock front, which may lead us to deep understanding of acceleration mechanism. We have found hard X-ray filaments having a sharp rise in upstream and rather slow decay in downstream from the shocked region of six SNRs (Cas A, Tycho, Kepler, SN 1006, RCW 86, and 30 Dor C) using the Chandra archive data. For all the SNRs, we found that the scale width of the filaments is significantly smaller than that of the thermal plasma derived from the Sedov solution, The scale width becomes larger as increasing radius of the SNR, which may be followed by the understanding of the history of acceleration and energy loss of electrons in the shock front.
