Brane Dynamics and Four-Dimensional Quantum Field Theory
N. D. Lambert, P. C. West
We review the relation between the classical dynamics of the M-fivebrane and the quantum low energy effective action for N=2 Yang-Mills theories. We also discuss some outstanding i…
Introduction to Rigid Supersymmetric Theories
P. C. West
In these lectures we discuss the supersymmetry algebra and its irreducible representations. We construct the theories of rigid supersymmetry and gave their superspace formulations.…
Is N=4 Yang-Mills Theory Soluble?
P. S. Howe, P. C. West
The superconformal properties of N=4 Yang-Mills theory are most naturally studied using the formalism of harmonic superspace. Superconformal invariance is shown to imply that the G…
A Review of Strings
Peter West
Recent progress on the physical states and scattering amplitudes of the string is reviewed with particular emphasis on the relation between this string theory and the Ising m…
On the relation between integrability and infinite-dimensional algebras
M. D. Freeman, P. West
We review our work on the relation between integrability and infinite-dimensional algebras. We first consider the question of what sets of commuting charges can be constructed from…
