Supersymmetry, supergravity, superspace and BRST symmetry in a simple model
Peter van Nieuwenhuizen
We give an introduction to rigid supersymmetry, supergravity and superspace by considering a quantum mechanical model. We analyze the constraints in superspace in this simplified m…
Supergravity as a Yang-Mills theory
Peter van Nieuwenhuizen
We give a simple introduction to ordinary and conformal supergravity, and write their actions as squares of curvatures.
New developments in the quantization of supersymmetric solitons (kinks, vortices and monopoles)
Anton Rebhan, Peter van Nieuwenhuizen, Robert Wimmer
We discuss the one-loop quantum corrections to the mass M and central charge Z of supersymmetric solitons: the kink, the vortex and the monopole. Contrary to previous expectations…
Quantum corrections to the mass and central charge of solitons in 1+1 dimensions
A. S. Goldhaber, A. Rebhan, P. van Nieuwenhuizen +1
We first discuss how the longstanding confusion in the literature concerning one-loop quantum corrections to 1+1 dimensional solitons has finally been resolved. Then we use 't Hoof…
Once more on the BPS bound for the susy kink
Andrei Litvintsev, Peter van Nieuwenhuizen
We consider a new momentum cut-off scheme for sums over zero-point energies, containing an arbitrary function f(k) which interpolates smoothly between the zero-point energies of th…
The equivalence between the operator approach and the path integral approach for quantum mechanical non-linear sigma models
Jan de Boer, Bas Peeters, Kostas Skenderis +1
We give background material and some details of calculations for two recent papers [1,2] where we derived a path integral representation of the transition element for supersymmetri…
