We successively reanalyzed modern Lie-algebraic approaches lying in the background of effective constructions of integrable super-Hamiltonian systems on functional $N=1,2,3$- supermanifolds, possessing rich supersymmetries and endowed with suitably related compatible Poisson structures. As an application, we describe countable hierarchies of new nonlinear Lax-type integrable $N=2,3$-semi-supersymmetric dynamical systems and constructed their central extended superconformal Lie superalgebra $\mathcal{K}(1|3)$ and its finite-dimensional coadjoint orbits, generated by the related Casimir functionals. Moreover, we generalized these results subject to the suitably factorized super-pseudo-differential Lax-type representations and present the related super-Poisson brackets and compatible suitably factorized Hamiltonian superflows. As an interesting point, we succeeded in the algorithmic construction of integrable super-Hamiltonian factorized systems generated by Casimir invariants of the centrally extended super-pseudo-differential operator Lie superalgebras on the $N=1,2,3$-supercircle.

We study the low energy effective dynamics of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ superconformal theories on their generalized Coulomb branch. The low energy effective gauge couplings are naturally encoded in algebraic curves $\mathcal{X}$, which we derive for general values of the couplings and mass deformations. We then recast these IR curves $\mathcal{X}$ to the UV or M-theory form $\mathcal{C}$: the punctured Riemann surfaces on which the M5 branes are compactified giving the four-dimensional theories. We find that the UV curves $\mathcal{C}$ and their corresponding meromorphic differentials take the same form as those for their mother four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ theories of class $\mathcal{S}$. They have the same poles, and their residues are functions of all the exactly marginal couplings and the bare mass parameters which we can compute exactly. Full article

The QCD Lagrangian is based on quark and gluonic fields—not squarks nor gluinos. However, one can show that its hadronic eigensolutions conform to a representation of superconformal algebra, reflecting the underlying conformal symmetry of chiral QCD. The eigensolutions of superconformal algebra provide a unified Regge spectroscopy of meson, baryon, and tetraquarks of the same parity and twist as equal-mass members of the same 4-plet representation with a universal Regge slope. The predictions from light-front holography and superconformal algebra can also be extended to mesons, baryons, and tetraquarks with strange, charm and bottom quarks. The pion $q\overline{q}$ eigenstate has zero mass for $m_q=0.$ A key tool is the remarkable observation of de Alfaro, Fubini, and Furlan (dAFF) which shows how a mass scale can appear in the Hamiltonian and the equations of motion while retaining the conformal symmetry of the action. When one applies the dAFF procedure to chiral QCD, a mass scale $\kappa$ appears which determines universal Regge slopes, hadron masses in the absence of the Higgs coupling. One also predicts the form of the nonperturbative QCD running coupling: ${\alpha }_s\left(Q^2\right)\propto e^{-Q^2/4{\kappa }^2}$ , in agreement with the effective charge determined from measurements of the Bjorken sum rule. One also obtains viable predictions for spacelike and timelike hadronic form factors, structure functions, distribution amplitudes, and transverse momentum distributions. The combination of conformal symmetry, light-front dynamics, its holographic mapping to AdS ${}_5$ space, and the dAFF procedure thus provide new insights, not only into the physics underlying color confinement, but also the nonperturbative QCD coupling and the QCD mass scale.

We investigate cubic interactions between a chiral superfield and higher spin superfields corresponding to irreducible representations of the $4D,\mathcal{N}=1$ super-Poincaré algebra. We do this by demanding an invariance under the most general transformation, linear in the chiral superfield. Following Noether’s method we construct an infinite tower of higher spin supercurrent multiplets which are quadratic in the chiral superfield and include higher derivatives. The results are that a single, massless, chiral superfield can couple only to the half-integer spin supermultiplets $(s+1,s+1/2)$ and for every value of spin there is an appropriate improvement term that reduces the supercurrent multiplet to a minimal multiplet which matches that of superconformal higher spins. On the other hand a single, massive, chiral superfield can couple only to higher spin supermultiplets of type $(2l+2,2l+3/2)$ (only odd values of s, $s=2l+1$ ) and there is no minimal multiplet. Furthermore, for the massless case we discuss the component level higher spin currents and provide explicit expressions for the integer and half-integer spin conserved currents together with a R-symmetry current.
