Noncommutative Supersymmetric Tubes
Abstract We investigate supersymmetric tubular configurations in the matrix theory. We construct a host of BPS configurations of eight supersymmetries. They can be regarded as cylindrical D2 branes carrying nonvanishing angular momentum. For the simplest tube, the world volume can be described as noncommutative tube and the world volume dynamics can be identified as a noncommutative gauge theory. Among the BPS configurations, some describe excitations on the tube and others describe many parallel tubes of different size and center.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mass-Deformed Bagger-Lambert Theory and its BPS Objects
We find a 16-supersymmetric mass-deformed Bagger-Lambert theory with SO(4)xSO(4) global R symmetry. The R charge plays the role of the noncentral term in the superalgebra. This theory has one symmetric vacuum and two inequivalent broken sectors of vacua. Each sector of the broken symmetry has SO(4) geometry. We find the 1/2 BPS domain walls connecting the symmetric phase and any broken phase, and 1/4 BPS supertubelike objects, which may appear as anyonic q-balls in the symmetric phase or vortices in the broken phase. We also discuss mass deformations, which reduce the number of supersymmetries.

$B_d$ - $\bar{B}_d$ mixing versus $B_s$ - $\bar{B}_s$ mixing with the anomalous $Wtb$ couplings
We explore the effects of the anomalous $tbW$ couplings on the $\bd$ mixing and recently measured $\bs$ mixing. The combined analysis of mixings via box diagrams with penguin decays provides strong constraints on the anomalous top quark couplings. We find the bound from the $\bd$ mixing data is stronger than that from the $\bs$ mixing.

Topological Twisting of Multiple M2-brane Theory
Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson theory with infinite dimensional gauge group has been suggested to describe M5-brane as a condensation of multiple M2-branes. Here we perform a topological twisting of the Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson theory. The original SO(8) R-symmetry is broken to SO(3) × SO(5), where the former may be interpreted as a diagonal subgroup of the Euclidean M5-brane world-volume symmetry SO(6), while the latter is the isometry of the transverse five directions. Accordingly the resulting action contains an one-form and five scalars as for the bosonic dynamical fields. We further lift the action to a generic curved three manifold. In order to make sure the genuine topological invariance, we construct an off-shell supersymmetric formalism such that the scalar supersymmetry transformations are nilpotent strictly off-shell and independent of the metric of the three manifold. The one loop partition function around a trivial background yields the Ray-Singer torsion. The BPS equation involves an M2-brane charge density given by a Nambu-Goto action defined in an internal three-manifold.

Partonic description of a supersymmetric p-brane
We consider supersymmetric extensions of a recently proposed partonic description of a bosonic p-brane which reformulates the Nambu-Goto action as an interacting multi-particle action with Filippov-Lie algebra gauge symmetry. We construct a worldline supersymmetric action by postulating, among others, a p-form fermion. Demanding a local worldline supersymmetry rather than the full worldvolume supersymmetry, we circumvent a known no-go theorem against the construction of a Ramond-Neveu-Schwarz supersymmetric action for a p-brane of p > 1. We also derive a spacetime supersymmetric Green-Schwarz extension from the preexisting kappa-symmetric action.
