Quantum SUSY algebra of Q-lumps in the massive Grassmannian sigma model
We compute the SUSY algebra of the massive Grassmannian sigma model in (2+1) dimensions. We first rederive the action of the model by using Scherk–Schwarz dimensional reduction from theory in (3+1) dimensions. Then, we perform canonical quantization by using the Dirac method. We find that a particular choice of the operator ordering yields the quantum SUSY algebra of Q-lumps with central extension.

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} $.

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.

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.

Infrared Features of Unquenched Lattice Landau Gauge QCD
Abstract.The running coupling and the Kugo-Ojima parameter of unquenched lattice Landau gauge are simulated and compared with the continuum theory. Although the running coupling measured by the ghost and gluon dressing function is infrared suppressed, the running coupling has a maximum of α0 ∼ 2 − 2.5 at around q = 0.5 GeV irrespective of the fermion actions (Wilson fermions and Kogut-Susskind (KS) fermions). The Kugo-Ojima parameter c which saturated to about 0.8 in quenched simulations becomes consistent with 1 in the MILC configurations produced with the use of the Asqtad action, after averaging the dependence on polarization directions caused by the asymmetry of the lattice. The presence of the correction factor 1 + c1/q2 in the running coupling depends on the lattice size and the sea quark mass. In the large lattice size and small sea quark mass, c1 is confirmed of the order of a few GeV. The MILC configuration of a = 0.09 fm suggests also the presence of dimension-4 condensates with a sign opposite to the dimension-2 condensates. The gluon propagator, the ghost propagator, and the running coupling are compared with recent pQCD results including an anomalous dimension of fields up to the four-loop level.

Suzaku Wide-Band Observations of SN 1006
We report on the wide band spectra of SN 1006 as observed by Suzaku. Thermal and nonthermal emission are successfully resolved thanks to the excellent spectral response of Suzaku's X-ray CCD XIS. The nonthermal emission cannot be reproduced by a simple power-law model but needs a roll-off at 5.7$\times 10^{16}$ Hz = 0.23 keV. The roll-off frequency is significantly higher in the northeastern rim than in the southwestern rim. We also have placed the most stringent upper limit of the flux above 10 keV using the Hard X-ray Detector.

Handsaw quiver varieties and finite W-algebras
Following Braverman-Finkelberg-Feigin-Rybnikov (arXiv:1008.3655), we study the convolution algebra of a handsaw quiver variety, a.k.a. a parabolic Laumon space, and a finite W-algebra of type A. This is a finite analog of the AGT conjecture on 4-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with surface operators. Our new observation is that the C^*-fixed point set of a handsaw quiver variety is isomorphic to a graded quiver variety of type A, which was introduced by the author in connection with the representation theory of a quantum affine algebra. As an application, simple modules of the W-algebra are described in terms of IC sheaves of graded quiver varieties of type A, which were known to be related to Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. This gives a new proof of a conjecture by Brundan-Kleshchev on composition multiplicities on Verma modules, which was proved by Losev, in a wider context, by a different method.

Infrared features of unquenched finite temperature lattice Landau gauge QCD
The color diagonal and color antisymmetric ghost propagators slightly above T{sub c} of N{sub f}=2 MILC 24{sup 3}x12 lattices are measured and compared with zero-temperature unquenched N{sub f}=2+1 MILC{sub c} 20{sup 3}x64 and MILC{sub f} 28{sup 3}x96 lattices and zero-temperature quenched 56{sup 4} {beta}=6.4 and 6.45 lattices. The expectation value of the color antisymmetric ghost propagator {phi}{sup c}(q) is zero, but its Binder cumulant, which is consistent with that of N{sub c}{sup 2}-1 dimensional Gaussian distribution below T{sub c}, decreases above T{sub c}. Although the color diagonal ghost propagator is temperature independent, the l{sup 1} norm of the color antisymmetric ghost propagator is temperature dependent. The expectation value of the ghost condensate observed at zero-temperature unquenched configuration is consistent with 0 in T>T{sub c}. We also measure transverse, magnetic, and electric gluon propagator and extract gluon screening masses. The running coupling measured from the product of the gluon dressing function and the ghost dressing function are almost temperature independent, but the effect of A{sup 2} condensate observed at zero temperature is consistent with 0 in T>T{sub c}. The transverse gluon dressing function at low temperature has a peak in the infrared at low temperature, but it becomes flatter at highmore » temperature. The magnetic gluon propagator at high momentum depends on the temperature. These data imply that the magnetic gluon propagator and the color antisymmetric ghost propagator are affected by the presence of dynamical quarks, and there are strong nonperturbative effects through the temperature-dependent color antisymmetric ghost propagator.« less

Testing the seesaw mechanism at collider energies in the Randall-Sundrum model
The Randall-Sundrum model with gauge fields and fermions in the bulk has several attractive features including the gauge coupling unification, a candidate for the dark matter, and an explanation for the hierarchical Yukawa couplings. 
In this paper, we point out that the 1st Kaluza-Klein modes of right-handed neutrinos may be produced at colliders, for both Dirac and Majorana neutrino cases. Furthermore, we can see whether the neutrino masses are Dirac type or Majorana type from the mass spectrum of KK particles.
