Scattering of Noncommutative Waves and Solitons in a Supersymmetric Chiral Model in 2+1 Dimensions
Interactions of noncommutative waves and solitons in 2+1 dimensions can be
analyzed exactly for a supersymmetric and integrable U(n) chiral model
extending the Ward model. Using the Moyal-deformed dressing method in an
antichiral superspace, we construct explicit time-dependent solutions of its
noncommutative field equations by iteratively solving linear equations. The
approach is illustrated by presenting scattering configurations for two
noncommutative U(2) plane waves and for two noncommutative U(2) solitons as
well as by producing a noncommutative U(1) two-soliton bound state.Comment: 1+13 pages; v2: reference added, version published in JHE
The sl(2n|2n)^(1) Super-Toda Lattices and the Heavenly Equations as Continuum Limit
The continuum limit of super-Toda models associated with the
affine (super)algebra series produces -dimensional
integrable equations in the spacetimes. The
equations of motion of the (super)Toda hierarchies depend not only on the
chosen (super)algebras but also on the specific presentation of their Cartan
matrices. Four distinct series of integrable hierarchies in relation with
symmetric-versus-antisymmetric, null-versus-nonnull presentations of the
corresponding Cartan matrices are investigated. In the continuum limit we
derive four classes of integrable equations of heavenly type, generalizing the
results previously obtained in the literature. The systems are manifestly N=1
supersymmetric and, for specific choices of the Cartan matrix preserving the
complex structure, admit a hidden N=2 supersymmetry. The coset reduction of the
(super)-heavenly equation to the spacetime (with a line segment) is
illustrated. Finally, integrable supersymmetrically extended models in
dimensions are constructed through dimensional reduction of the
previous systems.Comment: 12 page
Solitons of Sigma Model on Noncommutative Space as Solitons of Electron System
We study the relationship of soliton solutions for electron system with those
of the sigma model on the noncommutative space, working directly in the
operator formalism. We find that some soliton solutions of the sigma model are
also the solitons of the electron system and are classified by the same
topological numbers.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX2e, improvements to discussions, Version to be

Transmogrifying Fuzzy Vortices
We show that the construction of vortex solitons of the noncommutative
Abelian-Higgs model can be extended to a critically coupled gauged linear sigma
model with Fayet-Illiopolous D-terms. Like its commutative counterpart, this
fuzzy linear sigma model has a rich spectrum of BPS solutions. We offer an
explicit construction of the degree static semilocal vortex and study in
some detail the infinite coupling limit in which it descends to a degree
\C\Pk^{N} instanton. This relation between the fuzzy vortex and
noncommutative lump is used to suggest an interpretation of the noncommutative
sigma model soliton as tilted D-strings stretched between an NS5-brane and a
stack of D3-branes in type IIB superstring theory.Comment: 21 pages, 4 figures, LaTeX(JHEP3
Matrix Models and D-branes in Twistor String Theory
We construct two matrix models from twistor string theory: one by dimensional
reduction onto a rational curve and another one by introducing noncommutative
coordinates on the fibres of the supertwistor space P^(3|4)->CP^1. We comment
on the interpretation of our matrix models in terms of topological D-branes and
relate them to a recently proposed string field theory. By extending one of the
models, we can carry over all the ingredients of the super ADHM construction to
a D-brane configuration in the supertwistor space P^(3|4). Eventually, we
present the analogue picture for the (super) Nahm construction.Comment: 1+37 pages, reference added, JHEP style, published versio
Lost equivalence of nonlinear sigma and models on noncommutative space
We show that the equivalence of nonlinear sigma and models which is
valid on the commutative space is broken on the noncommutative space. This
conclusion is arrived at through investigation of new BPS solitons that do not
exist in the commutative limit.Comment: 17 pages, LaTeX2
On the N=2 Supersymmetric Camassa-Holm and Hunter-Saxton Equations
We consider N=2 supersymmetric extensions of the Camassa-Holm and
Hunter-Saxton equations. We show that they admit geometric interpretations as
Euler equations on the superconformal algebra of contact vector fields on the
1|2-dimensional supercircle. We use the bi-Hamiltonian formulation to derive
Lax pairs. Moreover, we present some simple examples of explicit solutions. As
a by-product of our analysis we obtain a description of the bounded
traveling-wave solutions for the two-component Hunter-Saxton equation.Comment: 1+19 pages, 3 figures; v2: reference added; v3: more references

Higher Loop Spin Field Correlators in D=4 Superstring Theory
We develop calculational tools to determine higher loop superstring
correlators involving massless fermionic and spin fields in four space time
dimensions. These correlation functions are basic ingredients for the
calculation of loop amplitudes involving both bosons and fermions in D=4
heterotic and superstring theories. To obtain the full amplitudes in Lorentz
covariant form the loop correlators of fermionic and spin fields have to be
expressed in terms of SO(1,3) tensors. This is one of the main achievements in
this work.Comment: 59 pages, 1 figure; v2: final version published in JHE
Vacuum Energy Cancellation in a Non-supersymmetric String
We present a nonsupersymmetric orbifold of type II string theory and show
that it has vanishing cosmological constant at the one and two loop level. We
argue heuristically that the cancellation persists at higher loops.Comment: 31 pages harvmac big, 6 figures. New version includes the 2-loop
analysis of hep-th/9810129 and elimination of one of the two heuristic
arguments for higher loop cancellatio
