New Renormalization Program for Broken Gauge Theories
We derive a new renormalization-group theorem which expressly relates the parameters of the symmetric high-energy theory to the parameters of the broken, low-energy theory. The relation is an analytic one. It summarizes the threshold effects by leapfrogging across each threshold and provides a connection formula. The relation is derived for an arbitrary group hierarchy structure.

Thermal Operator and Cutting Rules at Finite Temperature and Chemical Potential
In the context of scalar field theories, both real and complex, we derive the cutting description at finite temperature (with zero/finite chemical potential) from the cutting rules at zero temperature through the action of a simple thermal operator. We give an alternative algebraic proof of the largest time equation which brings out the underlying physics of such a relation. As an application of the cutting description, we calculate the imaginary part of the one-loop retarded self-energy at zero/finite temperature and finite chemical potential and show how this description can be used to calculate the dispersion relation as well as the full physical self-energy of thermal particles.

The sTB-B hierarchy
Abstract We construct a new supersymmetric two boson (sTB-B) hierarchy and study its properties. We derive the conserved quantities and the Hamiltonian structures (proving the Jacobi identity) for the system. We show how this system gives the sKdV-B equation and its Hamiltonian structures upon appropriate reduction. We also describe the zero curvature formulation of this hierarchy both in the superspace as well as in components.

The hamiltonian structures of the KP hierarchy
Abstract We obtain the two hamiltonian structures of the KP hierarchy following the method of Drinfeld and Sokolov. We point out how the second structure of Drinfeld and Sokolov needs to be modified in the present case. We briefly comment on the connection between these structures and the W 1+∞ algebra.

DYNAMICAL SUPERSYMMETRY
We show, in a simple quantum mechanical model, how a theory can become supersymmetric in the presence of interactions even when the free theory is not. This dynamical generation of supersymmetry relaxes the condition on the equality of masses of the superpartners which would be of phenomenological interest.

New nonlocal charges in SUSY-B integrable models
Abstract In this Letter, we study systematically the general properties of the B -extension of any integrable model. In addition to discussing the general properties of Hamiltonians, Hamiltonian structures etc, we also clarify the origin of “exotic” charges in such models. We show that, in such models, there exist at least two sets of non-local conserved charges (and more if N >1 supersymmetry is present) and that the “exotic” charges are part of this non-local charge hierarchy. The construction of these non-local charges from the Lax operator is explained.

An alternative construction of the positive inner product for pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians: Examples
In this paper, we build on our earlier proposal for the construction of a positive inner product for pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians and present examples to clarify the procedure. We focus on two detailed calculations where the method is used, namely, a simple (generalized 2×2 matrix) pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian, which can be diagonalized, and a second system where the Hamiltonian cannot be diagonalized, but can be described as a perturbation of the harmonic oscillator. When the quantum mechanical system cannot be diagonalized exactly, our construction can be carried out perturbatively and we develop the general formalism for such a perturbative calculation systematically (for real eigenvalues).

Supersymmetry in Singular Quantum Mechanics
The breaking of supersymmetry due to singular potentials in supersymmetric quantum mechanics is critically analyzed. It is shown that, when properly regularized, these potentials respect supersymmetry, even when the regularization parameter is removed.

On the energy-momentum tensor in non-commutative gauge theories
We study the properties of the energy-momentum tensor in non-commutative gauge theories by coupling them to a weak external gravitational field. In particular, we show that the stress tensor of such a theory coincides exactly with that derived from a theory where a Seiberg-Witten map has been implemented (namely, the procedure is commutative). Various other interesting features are also discussed.
