Constrained Superfields and Standard Realization of Nonlinear Supersymmetry
A constrained superfield formalism has been proposed recently to analyze the
low energy physics related to Goldstinos. We prove that this formalism can be
reformulated in the language of standard realization of nonlinear
supersymmetry. New relations have been uncovered in the standard realization of
nonlinear supersymmetry.Comment: 8+1 pages, Latex, expanded discussions on scalar and vector field
Nonlinear Realization of Spontaneously Broken N=1 Supersymmetry Revisited
This paper revisits the nonlinear realization of spontaneously broken N=1
supersymmetry. It is shown that the constrained superfield formalism can be
reinterpreted in the language of standard realization of nonlinear
supersymmetry via a new and simpler route. Explicit formulas of actions are
presented for general renormalizable theories with or without gauge
interactions. The nonlinear Wess-Zumino gauge is discussed and relations are
pointed out for different definitions of gauge fields. In addition, a general
procedure is provided to deal with theories of arbitrary Kahler potentials.Comment: 1+18 pages, LaTe

A Bound on the Superpotential
We prove a general bound on the superpotential in theories with broken
supersymmetry and broken R-symmetry, 2|W|< f_a F, where f_a and F are the
R-axion and Goldstino decay constants, respectively. The bound holds for weakly
coupled as well as strongly coupled theories, thereby providing an exact result
in theories with broken supersymmetry. We briefly discuss several possible
applications.Comment: 20 page
Synchronization Problems in Automata without Non-trivial Cycles
We study the computational complexity of various problems related to
synchronization of weakly acyclic automata, a subclass of widely studied
aperiodic automata. We provide upper and lower bounds on the length of a
shortest word synchronizing a weakly acyclic automaton or, more generally, a
subset of its states, and show that the problem of approximating this length is
hard. We investigate the complexity of finding a synchronizing set of states of
maximum size. We also show inapproximability of the problem of computing the
rank of a subset of states in a binary weakly acyclic automaton and prove that
several problems related to recognizing a synchronizing subset of states in
such automata are NP-complete.Comment: Extended and corrected version, including arXiv:1608.00889.

A note on "symmetric" vielbeins in bimetric, massive, perturbative and non perturbative gravities
We consider a manifold endowed with two different vielbeins
and corresponding to two different metrics and
. Such a situation arises generically in bimetric or massive
gravity (including the recently discussed version of de Rham, Gabadadze and
Tolley), as well as in perturbative quantum gravity where one vielbein
parametrizes the background space-time and the other the dynamical degrees of
freedom. We determine the conditions under which the relation can be
imposed (or the "Deser-van Nieuwenhuizen" gauge chosen). We clarify and correct
various statements which have been made about this issue.Comment: 20 pages. Section 7, prop. 6 and 7. added. Some results made more

Goldstino superfields for spontaneously broken N=2 supersymmetry
We examine spontaneously broken N=2 supersymmetry in four dimensions and
associate a spinor superfield with each Goldstino via a finite supersymmetry
transformation with parameters that are the Grassmann coordinates of N=2
superspace. Making use of a special choice of coset parametrization allows us
to develop a version of nonlinearly realized N=2 supersymmetry for which the
associated Goldstino superfields are defined on harmonic superspace, thereby
providing a natural mechanism for construction of a Goldstino action. The
corresponding superfield Lagrangian is an O(4) multiplet. This property is used
to reformulate the Goldstino action in projective superspace and in
conventional N=2 superspace. We show how to generate matter couplings of the
Goldstinos to supersymmetric matter using the N=2 harmonic, projective and full
superspaces. As a bi-product of our consideration, we also derive an N=2 chiral
Goldstino action.Comment: 20 pages, typos corrected, comments adde
Evidence for the classical integrability of the complete AdS(4) x CP(3) superstring
We construct a zero-curvature Lax connection in a sub-sector of the
superstring theory on AdS(4) x CP(3) which is not described by the
OSp(6|4)/U(3) x SO(1,3) supercoset sigma-model. In this sub-sector worldsheet
fermions associated to eight broken supersymmetries of the type IIA background
are physical fields. As such, the prescription for the construction of the Lax
connection based on the Z_4-automorphism of the isometry superalgebra OSp(6|4)
does not do the job. So, to construct the Lax connection we have used an
alternative method which nevertheless relies on the isometry of the target
superspace and kappa-symmetry of the Green-Schwarz superstring.Comment: 1+26 pages; v2: minor typos corrected, acknowledgements adde
