چکیده

We use the methods of PT -symmetric quantum theory to find a oneparameter family of ISU(1|1)-invariant planar super-Landau models with positive norm, uncovering an ‘accidental’, and generically spontaneouslybroken, N=2 worldline supersymmetry. In contrast to standard models of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, it is the norms of states rather than their energies that are parameter-dependent, and the spectrum changes discontinuously in the limit that worldline supersymmetry is restored. We find a Sugawara-type representations for the worldline supersymmetry charges in terms of the ISU(1|1) charges. 1 [email protected] 2 [email protected] 3 [email protected] 4 [email protected]

Planar Super-Landau Models

In previous papers we solved the Landau problems, indexed by 2M , for a particle on the “superflag” SU(2|1)/[U(1) × U(1)], the M = 0 case being equivalent to the Landau problem for a particle on the “supersphere” SU(2|1)/[U(1|1)]. Here we solve these models in the planar limit. For M = 0 we have a particle on the complex superplane C; its Hilbert space is the tensor product of that of the Landa...

Supersymmetrizing Landau Models

This is an overview of recent progress in constructing and studying superextensions of the Landau problem of a quantum particle on a plane in the uniform magnetic field, as well as of its Haldane’s S2 generalization (hep-th/0311159, 0404108, 0510019, 0612300). The main attention is paid to the planar super Landau models which are invariant under the inhomogeneous supergroup ISU(1|1), a contract...

BPS Domain Walls in super Yang – Mills and Landau – Ginzburg models

We study domain walls in two different extensions of super Yang–Mills characterized by the absence of a logarithmic term in their effective superpotential. The models, defined by the usual gaugino condensate and an extra field Y , give different patterns of domain walls despite both leading to the same effective limit for heavy Y , i.e. the Veneziano–Yankielowicz effective Lagrangian of super Y...

Inflation and cosmic (super)strings: implications of their intimate relation revisited

We briefly discuss constraints on supersymmetric hybrid inflation models and examine the consistency of brane inflation models. We then address the implications for inflationary scenarios resulting from the strong constraints on the cosmic (super)string tension imposed from the most recent cosmic microwave background temperature anisotropies data.

Stability of planar flames as gasdynamic discontinuities

The stability of a steadily propagating planar premixed flame has been the subject of numerous studies since Darrieus and Landau showed that in their model flames are unstable to perturbations of any wavelength. Moreover, the instability was shown to persist even for very small wavelengths, i.e. there was no high-wavenumber cutoff of the instability. In addition to the Darrieus–Landau instabili...
