The supersymmetric two boson hierarchies
Abstract We construct the most general supersymmetric two boson system that is integrable. We obtain the Lax operator and the nonstandard Lax representation for this system. We show that, under appropriate redefinition of variables, this reduces to the supersymmetric nonlinear Schrodinger equation without any arbitrary parameter which is known to be integrable. We show that this supersymmetric system has three local Hamiltonian structures just like the bosonic counterpart and we show how the supersymmetric KdV equation can be embedded into this system.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Unruh effect in the general light-front frame
We study the phenomenon of Unruh effect in a massless scalar field theory quantized on the light front in the general light-front frame. We determine the uniformly accelerating coordinates in such a frame and through a direct transformation show that the propagator of the theory has a thermal character in the uniformly accelerating coordinate system with a temperature given by Tolman's law. We also carry out a systematic analysis of this phenomenon from the Hilbert space point of view and show that the vacuum of this theory appears as a thermal vacuum to a Rindler observer with the same temperature as given by Tolman's law.

The thermal chiral anomaly in the Schwinger model
Abstract In the Schwinger model at finite temperature, we derive a closed form result for the chiral anomaly which arises from the long distance behavior of the electric field Das and Frenkel (2011) [1] . We discuss the general properties associated with this thermal anomaly as well as its relation with the “index” of the Dirac operator. We further show that the thermal anomaly, like the zero temperature anomaly which arises from the ultraviolet behavior of the theory, does not receive any contribution from higher loops. Finally, we determine the complete effective action as well as the anomaly functional on both the thermal branches in the closed time path formalism.

An alternative construction of the positive inner product in non-Hermitian quantum mechanics
Within the context of non-Hermitian quantum mechanics, we use the generators of eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian to construct a unitary inner product space. Such models have been of interest in recent years, for instance, in the context of PT symmetry, although our construction extends to the larger class of so-called pseudo-Hermitian operators. We provide a detailed example to illustrate the concept and compare with known results.

Supersymmetric polytropic gas dynamics
Abstract We construct the N =1 supersymmetric extension of the polytropic gas dynamics. We give both the Lagrangian as well as the Hamiltonian description of this system. We construct the infinite set of ‘‘ Eulerian" conserved charges associated with this system and show that they are in involution, thereby proving complete integrability of this system. We construct the SUSY-B extension of this system as well and comment on the similarities and differences between this system and an earlier construction of the supersymmetric Chaplygin gas. We also derive the N =1 supersymmetric extension of the elastic medium equations, which, however, do not appear to be integrable.

Supersymmetric Moyal-Lax representation
The super Moyal–Lax representation and the super Moyal momentum algebra are introduced and the properties of simple and extended supersymmetric integrable models are systematically investigated. It is shown that, much like in the bosonic cases, the super Moyal–Lax equation can be interpreted as a Hamiltonian equation and can be derived from an action. Similarly, we show that the parameter of non-commutativity, in this case, is related to the central charge of the second Hamiltonian structure of the system. The super Moyal– Lax description allows us to go to the dispersionless limit of these models in a singular limit and we discuss some of the properties of such systems.
