چکیده
Using superfield Dyson–Schwinger equations, we compute the infrared dynamics of the semi–amputated full vertex, corresponding to the effective running gauge coupling, in N–flavour N = 1 supersymmetric QED3. It is shown that the presence of a supersymmetry–preserving mass for the matter multiplet stabilizes the infrared gauge coupling against oscillations present in the massless case, and we therefore infer that the massive vacuum is thus selected at the level of the (quantum) effective action. We further demonstrate that such a mass can indeed be generated dynamically in a self–consistent way by appealing to the superfield Dyson–Schwinger gap equation for the full matter propagator.

We study N = 2 supersymmetric Born-Infeld-Higgs theory in 3 dimensions and derive Bogomol’nyi relations in its bosonic sector. A peculiar coupling between the Higgs and the gauge field (with dynamics determined by the Born-Infeld action) is forced by supersymmetry. The resulting equations coincide with those arising in the MaxwellHiggs model. Concerning Bogomol’nyi bounds for the vortex energy,...

We review new aspects of integrable systems discovered recently in N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories and their topologically twisted versions. The main topics are (i) an explicit construction of Whitham deformations of the Seiberg-Witten curves for classical gauge groups, (ii) its application to contact terms in the u-plane integral of topologically twisted theories, and (iii) a connection be...

The calculation of next-to-leading log x corrections to the BFKL equation was completed last year [ 1, 2] after several years of theoretical effort. The results, for both anomalous dimension and hard Pomeron, show however signs of instability due to both the size and the (negative) sign of corrections, possibly leading to problems with positivity also [ 3]. If we write the eigenvalue equation c...

We study the gauge-invariant gaussian ansatz for the vacuum wave functional and show that it potentially posseses many desirable features of the Yang–Mills theory, like asymptotic freedom, mass generation through the transmutation of dimensions and a linear potential between static quarks. We point out that these (and other) features can be studied in a systematic way by combining perturbative ...
