Twisted SUSY Invariant Formulation of Chern-Simons Gauge Theory on a Lattice
We propose a twisted SUSY invariant formulation of Chern-Simons theory on a
Euclidean three dimensional lattice. The SUSY algebra to be realized on the
lattice is the N=4 D=3 twisted algebra that was recently proposed by D'Adda et
al.. In order to keep the manifest anti-hermiticity of the action, we introduce
oppositely oriented supercharges. Accordingly, the naive continuum limit of the
action formally corresponds to the Landau gauge fixed version of Chern-Simons
theory with complex gauge group which was originally proposed by Witten. We
also show that the resulting action consists of parity even and odd parts with
different coefficients.Comment: 22 pages, 5 figures; v2,v3 added references, v4 added two paragraphs

Species Doublers as Super Multiplets in Lattice Supersymmetry: Exact Supersymmetry with Interactions for D=1 N=2
We propose a new lattice superfield formalism in momentum representation
which accommodates species doublers of the lattice fermions and their bosonic
counterparts as super multiplets. We explicitly show that one dimensional N=2
model with interactions has exact Lie algebraic supersymmetry on the lattice
for all super charges. In coordinate representation the finite difference
operator is made to satisfy Leibnitz rule by introducing a non local product,
the ``star'' product, and the exact lattice supersymmetry is realized. The
standard momentum conservation is replaced on the lattice by the conservation
of the sine of the momentum, which plays a crucial role in the formulation.
Half lattice spacing structure is essential for the one dimensional model and
the lattice supersymmetry transformation can be identified as a half lattice
spacing translation combined with alternating sign structure. Invariance under
finite translations and locality in the continuum limit are explicitly
investigated and shown to be recovered. Supersymmetric Ward identities are
shown to be satisfied at one loop level. Lie algebraic lattice supersymmetry
algebra of this model suggests a close connection with Hopf algebraic exactness
of the link approach formulation of lattice supersymmetry.Comment: 34 pages, 2 figure
Formulation of Supersymmetry on a Lattice as a Representation of a Deformed Superalgebra
The lattice superalgebra of the link approach is shown to satisfy a Hopf
algebraic supersymmetry where the difference operator is introduced as a
momentum operator. The breakdown of the Leibniz rule for the lattice difference
operator is accommodated as a coproduct operation of (quasi)triangular Hopf
algebra and the associated field theory is consistently defined as a braided
quantum field theory. Algebraic formulation of path integral is perturbatively
defined and Ward-Takahashi identity can be derived on the lattice. The claimed
inconsistency of the link approach leading to the ordering ambiguity for a
product of fields is solved by introducing an almost trivial braiding structure
corresponding to the triangular structure of the Hopf algebraic superalgebra.
This could be seen as a generalization of spin and statistics relation on the
lattice. From the consistency of this braiding structure of fields a grading
nature for the momentum operator is required.Comment: 45 page
Lattice formulation of two-dimensional N=(2,2) super Yang-Mills with SU(N) gauge group
We propose a lattice model for two-dimensional SU(N) N=(2,2) super Yang-Mills
model. We start from the CKKU model for this system, which is valid only for
U(N) gauge group. We give a reduction of U(1) part keeping a part of
supersymmetry. In order to suppress artifact vacua, we use an admissibility
condition.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures; v2: typo crrected; v3: 18 pages, a version to

Gauge symmetry enhancement in Hamiltonian formalism
We study the Hamiltonian structure of the gauge symmetry enhancement in the
enlarged CP(N) model coupled with U(2) Chern-Simons term, which contains a free
parameter governing explicit symmetry breaking and symmetry enhancement. After
giving a general discussion of the geometry of constrained phase space suitable
for the symmetry enhancement, we explicitly perform the Dirac analysis of our
model and compute the Dirac brackets for the symmetry enhanced and broken
cases. We also discuss some related issues.Comment: 8 pages, typos correcte
On the BPS Spectrum at the Root of the Higgs Branch
We study the BPS spectrum and walls of marginal stability of the
supersymmetric theory in four dimensions with gauge group SU(n)
and fundamental flavours at the root of the Higgs branch. The
strong-coupling spectrum of this theory was conjectured in hep-th/9902134 to
coincide with that of the two-dimensional supersymmetric
sigma model. Using the Kontsevich--Soibelman
wall-crossing formula, we start with the conjectured strong-coupling spectrum
and extrapolate it to all other regions of the moduli space. In the
weak-coupling regime, our results precisely agree with the semiclassical
analysis of hep-th/9902134: in addition to the usual dyons, quarks, and
bosons, if the complex masses obey a particular inequality, the resulting
weak-coupling spectrum includes a tower of bound states consisting of a dyon
and one or more quarks. In the special case of -symmetric
masses, there are bound states with one quark for odd and no bound states
for even .Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure
The self-dual gauge fields and the domain wall fermion zero modes
A new type of gauge fixing of the Coulomb gauge domain wall fermion system
that reduces the fluctuation of the effective running coupling and the
effective mass of arbitrary momentum direction including the region outside the
cylinder cut region is proposed and tested in the
gauge configurations of RBC/UKQCD collaboration.
The running coupling at the lowest momentum point does not show infrared
suppression and compatible with the experimental data extracted from the JLab
collaboration. The source of the fluctuation of the effective mass near
momentum 0.6GeV region is expected to be due to the domain wall fermion
zero modes.Comment: 12 pages 2 figures, extended arguments and references adde
Anomaly and quantum corrections to solitons in two-dimensional theories with minimal supersymmetry
We reexamine the issue of the soliton mass in two-dimensional models with N
=1 supersymmetry. The superalgebra has a central extension, and at the
classical level the soliton solution preserves 1/2 of supersymmetry which is
equivalent to BPS saturation. We prove that the property of BPS saturation,
i.e. the equality of the soliton mass to the central charge, remains intact at
the quantum level in all orders of the weak coupling expansion. Our key finding
is an anomaly in the expression for the central charge. The classical central
charge, equal to the jump of the superpotential, is amended by an anomalous
term proportional to the second derivative of the superpotential. The anomaly
is established by various methods in explicit one-loop calculations. We argue
that this one-loop result is not affected by higher orders. We discuss in
detail how the impact of the boundary conditions can be untangled from the
soliton mass calculation. In particular, the soliton profile and the energy
distribution are found at one loop. A "supersymmetry" in the soliton mass
calculations in the non-supersymmetric models is observed.Comment: 50 pages, LaTex, 2 figures. The version exactly matching that

Gauge Symmetry Enhancement and Radiatively Induced Mass in the Large N Nonlinear Sigma Model
We consider a hybrid of nonlinear sigma models in which two complex
projective spaces are coupled with each other under a duality. We study the
large N effective action in 1+1 dimensions. We find that some of the
dynamically generated gauge bosons acquire radiatively induced masses which,
however, vanish along the self-dual points where the two couplings
characterizing each complex projective space coincide. These points correspond
to the target space of the Grassmann manifold along which the gauge symmetry is
enhanced, and the theory favors the non-Abelian ultraviolet fixed point.Comment: 11 pages, REVTEX, typos are corrected, version to appear in Phys.

On the sign problem in 2D lattice super Yang--Mills
In recent years a new class of supersymmetric lattice theories have been
proposed which retain one or more exact supersymmetries for non-zero lattice
spacing. Recently there has been some controversy in the literature concerning
whether these theories suffer from a sign problem. In this paper we address
this issue by conducting simulations of the N=(2, 2) and N=(8, 8)
supersymmetric Yang--Mills theories in two dimensions for the U(N) theories
with N=2,3,4, using the new twisted lattice formulations. Our results provide
evidence that these theories do not suffer from a sign problem in the continuum
limit. These results thus boost confidence that the new lattice formulations
can be used successfully to explore non-perturbative aspects of
four-dimensional N=4 supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory.Comment: 22 pages, 12 figure
