The dyon charge in noncommutative gauge theories
We present an explicit classical dyon solution for the noncommutative version
of the Yang-Mills-Higgs model (in the Prasad-Sommerfield limit) with a tehta
term. We show that the relation between classical electric and magnetic charges
also holds in noncommutative space. Extending the Noether approach to the case
of a noncommutative gauge theory, we analyze the effect of CP violation at the
quantum level, induced both by the theta term and by noncommutativity and we
prove that the Witten effect formula for the dyon charge remains the same as in
ordinary space.Comment: 17 page
N=2 Chern-Simons-Matter Theories Without Vortices
We study Chern-Simons-matter theories with gauge group
. We find that, when , the partition
function computed by localization dramatically simplifies and collapses to a
single term. We show that the same condition prevents the theory from having
supersymmetric vortex configurations. The theories include mass-deformed ABJM
theory with gauge group as a particular case.
Similar features are shared by a class of CS-matter theories with gauge group

Self-dual Chern-Simons solitons in noncommutative space
We construct exact soliton solutions to the Chern-Simons-Higgs system in
noncommutative space, for non-relativistic and relativistic models. In both
cases we find regular vortex-like solutions to the BPS equations which approach
the ordinary selfdual non-topological and topological solitons when the
noncommutative parameter goes to zero.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figure
A coordinate-dependent superspace deformation from string theory
Starting from a type II superstring model defined on in
a linear graviphoton background, we derive a coordinate dependent -deformed
, superspace. The chiral fermionic coordinates
satisfy a Clifford algebra, while the other coordinate algebra remains
unchanged. We find a linear relation between the graviphoton field strength and
the deformation parameter. The null coordinate dependence of the graviphoton
background allows to extend the results to all orders in .Comment: 14 pages, reference added, accepted for publication in JHE
