Distortion of a Phase Space Under the Darboux Transformation

The Darboux transformation operator technique is applied to construct exactly solvable anharmonic singular oscillator potentials and to study their coherent states. Classical system corresponding to a transformed quantum system is constructed with the help of the coherent states technique. It is shown that at classical level the Darboux transformation may be treated as a transformation of K\"ahler potential which leads to a distortion of the initial phase space.Comment: To be published in J.

Superfield theories on S3S^3 and their localization

We consider the superfield formulation of supersymmetric gauge and matter field theories on a three-dimensional sphere with rigid ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetry, as well as with ${\cal N}> 2$. The construction is based on a supercoset $SU(2|1)/U(1)$ containing $S^3$ as the bosonic subspace. We derive an explicit form of $SU(2|1)/U(1)$ supervielbein and covariant derivatives, and use them to construct classical superfield actions for gauge and matter supermultiplets in this superbackground. We then apply superfield methods for computing one-loop partition functions of these theories and demonstrate how the localization technique works directly in the superspace.Comment: 1+64 pages; v2: Section 4.2 and a reference are adde
