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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Analysis of Low-Energy Pion Spectra
The transverse mass spectra and the rapidity distributions of $\pi^+$ and $\pi^-$ in Au-Au collisions at 2, 4, 6, and 8 GeV$\cdot$A by E895 collaboration are fitted using an elliptically expanding fireball model with the contribution from the resonance decays and the final state Coulomb interaction. The ratio of the total number of produced $\pi^-$ and $\pi^+$ is used to fit the data. The resulting freeze-out temperature is rather low($T_f < 60$ MeV) with large transverse flow and thus resonance contribution is very small. The difference in the shape of $m_t$ spectra of the oppositely charged pions are found to be due to the Coulomb interaction of the pions.

Unitarity violation of the CKM matrix in a nonuniversal gauge interaction model
We explore the unitarity violation of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix in the model where the third generation fermions are subjected to the separate SU(2){sub L} gauge interaction. With the recent LEP and SLAC linear collider (SLC) data at Z-pole and low-energy neutral current interaction data, the analysis on the parameter space of the model is updated, and the unitary violation is predicted under the constraint.

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.

Supersymmetric Double Field Theory: Stringy Reformulation of Supergravity
We construct a supersymmetric extension of double field theory that realizes the ten-dimensional Majorana-Weyl local supersymmetry. In terms of a stringy differential geometry we proposed earlier, our action consists of five simple terms -- two bosonic plus three fermionic -- and manifests not only diffeomorphism and one-form gauge symmetry of B-field, but also O(10,10) T-duality as well as a direct product of two local Lorentz symmetries, SO(1,9) \times SO(9,1). A gauge fixing that identifies the double local Lorentz groups reduces our action to the minimal supergravity in ten dimensions.

Analysis of Hadronic Properties at SPS energies from a Statistical Model
Using a statistical model of multiparticle production by Chou, Yang and Yen, which looks similar to the thermal model and is known to account for the single particle distributions in e$^+$ e$^-$ collisions, we fit the rapidity and transverse mass spectra of pions and kaons measured in Pb+Pb collisions by NA49 collaboration. This model nicely fits both the rapidity and the transverse mass spectra of each particle species with a few parameters. However, fitting all the particles with a single value of $T_p$ is not possible. This analysis shows that the success of the thermal models does not necessarily mean the thermalization of the system in collision.
