= 5, 6 superconformal Chern-Simons theories and M2-branes on orbifolds
We explore further our recent generalization of the = 4 superconformal Chern-Simons theories of Gaiotto and Witten. We find and construct explicitly theories of enhanced = 5 or 6 supersymmetry, especially = 5, Sp(2M) ? O(N) and = 6, Sp(2M) ? O(2) theories. The U(M) ? U(N) theory coincides with the = 6 theory of Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis and Maldacena (ABJM). We argue that the = 5 theory with Sp(2N) ? O(2N) gauge group can be understood as an orientifolding of the ABJM model with U(2N) ? U(2N) gauge group. We briefly discuss the Type IIB brane construction of the = 5 theory and the geometry of the M-theory orbifold.

New BPS configurations of BMN matrix theory
We explore the 1/2 BPS configurations in BMN matrix theory with SO(3) angular momentum of SO(3) × SO(6) symmetry. The fluctuation analysis of the BPS configurations near the abelian solutions and also the fuzzy two sphere vacua reveals how nonabelian BPS configurations emerge. Especially the irreducible nonabelian configurations seem to have the maximal angular momentum of order N3, beyond which they collapse to abelian ones. We also find some new BPS configurations explicitly.

Two massive and one massless Sp(4) monopole
Starting from Nahm's equations, we explore Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) magnetic monopoles in the Yang-Mills-Higgs theory of the gauge group Sp(4), which is broken to $\mathrm{SU}(2)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\mathrm{U}(1)$. There exists a family of BPS field configurations with a purely Abelian magnetic charge that describes two identical massive monopoles and one massless monopole. We construct the field configurations with axial symmetry by employing the Atiyah-Drinfeld-Hitchin-Mannin-Nahm construction and find the explicit expression of the metrics for the 12-dimensional moduli space of Nahm data and its submanifolds.

The CP(n) model on noncommutative plane
We construct the consistent CP(n) model on noncommutative plane. The Bogomolny bound on the energy is saturated by (anti-)self-dual solitons with integer topological charge, which is independent of their scaling and orientation. This integer quantization is satisfied for our general solutions, which turns out regular everywhere. We discuss the possible implication of our result to the instanton physics in Yang–Mills theories on noncommutative R4.

The general M5-brane superconformal index
We calculate and study the general superconformal index for the 6d U(N) (2,0) theory with four chemical potentials, from the indices of gauge theories on CP^2 x R. Our index agrees with the large N supergravity index on AdS_7 x S^4 at low energies, and also yields the negative 'Casimir energy' with an N^3 scaling which was recently calculated from a QFT on S^5. Our approach also suggests a systematic study of the (1,0) superconformal indices.

Magnetic monopole with Wilson-loop symmetry breaking.
A nonsingular classical magnetic-monopole solution is obtained in a theory with Wilson-loop symmetry breaking. The solution is used to elucidate the quantization rules governing the magnetic charge, which are more restrictive than those for Higgs monopoles.

Stringy unification of type IIA and IIB supergravities under N=2 D=10 supersymmetric double field theory
Abstract To the full order in fermions, we construct D = 10 type II supersymmetric double field theory. We spell the precise N = 2 supersymmetry transformation rules as for 32 supercharges. The constructed action unifies type IIA and IIB supergravities in a manifestly covariant manner with respect to O ( 10 , 10 ) T-duality and a pair of local Lorentz groups, or Spin ( 1 , 9 ) × Spin ( 9 , 1 ) , besides the usual general covariance of supergravities or the generalized diffeomorphism. While the theory is unique, the solutions are twofold. Type IIA and IIB supergravities are identified as two different types of solutions rather than two different theories.

SU(4)(L) x U(1)(X) models with little Higgs
We discuss the aspects of the fermions and gauge bosons in $SU(4)_L \times U(1)_X$ models with little Higgs. We introduce a set of fermions which ensures the cancellation of gauge anomaly, and explicitly show the cancellation of one-loop quadratic divergence to the Higgs mass from all fermion multiplets and all gauge bosons. We present the interactions of the standard model fermions with the physical gauge bosons. We also discuss some phenomenological implications of the model based on recent experimental results.

Lepton flavor violation in a nonuniversal gauge interaction model
The flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNC) are derived at tree level if the electroweak gauge group depends on the fermion family, which are absent in the standard model. We study the lepton flavor violation through the FCNC interactions in a nonuniversal gauge interaction model where the third generation fermions are subjected to the separate SU(2){sub L} gauge group.
