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.

Dirac quantization in superspace.
We extend the method of Dirac quantization to superspace. We study simple models like the supersymmetric quantum mechanics as well as the supersymmetric nonlinear \ensuremath{\sigma} model in 1+1 dimensions. Although in both these cases the matrix representing the Poisson brackets between the constraints is singular, we show, following the spirit of Dirac, that one can still define Dirac brackets and that the resulting quantization is consistent with those of the component fields.

Deformed Harry Dym and Hunter–Zheng equations
We study the deformed Harry Dym and Hunter–Zheng equations with two arbitrary deformation parameters. These reduce to various other known models in appropriate limits. We show that both these systems are bi-Hamiltonian with the same Hamiltonian structures. They are integrable and belong to the same hierarchy corresponding to positive and negative flows. We present the Lax pair description for both the systems and construct the conserved charges of negative order from the Lax operator. For the deformed Harry Dym equation, we construct the nonstandard Lax representation for two special classes of values of the deformation parameters. In general, we argue that a nonstandard description will involve a pseudodifferential operator of infinite order.

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.

Supersymmetric and Deformed Harry Dym hierarchies
In this talk, we describe our recent results on the supersymmetrization of the Harry Dym hierarchy as well as a newly constructed deformed Harry Dym hierarchy which is integrable with two arbitrary parameters. In various limits of these parameters, the deformed hierarchy reduces to various known integrable systems.

Bosonic Reduction of Susy Generalized Harry Dym Equation
In this paper, we construct the two-component supersymmetric generalized Harry Dym equation which is integrable and study various properties of this model in the bosonic limit. In particular, in the bosonic limit we obtain a new integrable system which, under a hodograph transformation, reduces to a coupled three-component system. We show how the Hamiltonian structure transforms under a hodograph transformation and study the properties of the model under a further reduction to a two-component system. We find a third Hamiltonian structure for this system (which has been shown earlier to be a bi-Hamiltonian system) making this a genuinely tri-Hamiltonian system. The connection of this system to the modified dispersive water wave equation is clarified. We also study various properties in the dispersionless limit of our model.

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.

Light-front Schwinger model at finite temperature
We study the light-front Schwinger model at finite temperature following the recent proposal in \cite{alves}. We show that the calculations are carried out efficiently by working with the full propagator for the fermion, which also avoids subtleties that arise with light-front regularizations. We demonstrate this with the calculation of the zero temperature anomaly. We show that temperature dependent corrections to the anomaly vanish, consistent with the results from the calculations in the conventional quantization. The gauge self-energy is seen to have the expected non-analytic behavior at finite temperature, but does not quite coincide with the conventional results. However, the two structures are exactly the same on-shell. We show that temperature does not modify the bound state equations and that the fermion condensate has the same behavior at finite temperature as that obtained in the conventional quantization.
