چکیده
We construct the covariant nonlocal action for recently suggested long-distance modifications of gravity theory motivated by the cosmological constant and cos-mological acceleration problems. This construction is based on the special non-local form of the Einstein-Hilbert action explicitly revealing the fact that this action within the covariant curvature expansion begins with curvature-squared terms. Nonlocal form factors in the action of both quantum and brane-induced nature are briefly discussed. In particular, it is emphasized that for certain class of quantum initial value problems nonlocal nature of the Euclidean action does not contradict the causality of effective equations of motion.

We consider the theories obtained by dimensional reduction to D = 1, 2, 3 of 4D supersymmetric Yang–Mills theories and calculate there the effective low-energy lagrangia describing moduli space dynamics — the low-dimensional analogs of the Seiberg–Witten effective lagrangian. The effective theories thus obtained are rather beautiful and interesting from mathematical viewpoint. In addition, thei...

Attempts to solve Yang-Mills theory must eventually face the problem of analyzing the theory at intermediate values of the coupling constant. In this regime neither perturbation theory nor the gravity dual are adequate, and one must consider the full string theory in the appropriate background. We suggest that in some nontrivial cases the world sheet theory may be exactly solvable. For the Gree...

We derive a boundary action of N = 2 super-Liouville theory which preserves both N = 2 supersymmetry and conformal symmetry by imposing explicitly T = T and G = G. The resulting boundary action shows a new duality symmetry.
