N-fold supersymmetry in quantum mechanics—analyses of particular models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate particular models which can be N-fold supersymmetric at specific values of a parameter in the Hamiltonians, such as a periodic potential and a parity-symmetric sextic triple-well potential.

A predictive mirror twin Higgs with small Z2 breaking

TL;DR: Harigaya et al. as discussed by the authors showed that the mirror twin Higgs (MTH) model can have an observationally viable cosmology if the twin mass spectrum leads to twin neutrino decoupling before the SM and twin QCD phase transitions.

Supersymmetry and potentials with bound states at arbitrary energies. II

C V Sukumar
- 21 Jun 1987 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, it has been shown that a potential Vn( chi ) in one dimension which supports no bound states may be used as a reference potential from which, by successive applications of the concept of a supersymmetric partner to a given Hamiltonian, it is possible to find a potential vn(chi ) which supports any specified number n of bound states at any chosen energies Ej, j=1,...,n.

Algebraic solutions of shape-invariant position-dependent effective mass systems

TL;DR: In this article, a general scheme for obtaining algebraic solutions of quantum mechanical systems with position-dependent effective mass is discussed, which is based on the concepts of supersymmetric quantum mechanics and shape invariance.

A supersymmetric matrix model: III. Hidden SUSY in statistical systems

TL;DR: The Hamiltonian of a supersymmetric matrix model has been shown to become block-diagonal in the large-N, infinite "t Hooft coupling limit" as discussed by the authors, thus implying non-trivial (and apparently yet-unknown) relations within their spectra.

Chiral-symmetry breakdown in large-N chromodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in the limit of a large number of colors, under reasonable assumptions, this symmetry group must spontaneously break down to diagonal σ(n) under chiral conditions.

On constrained instantons

TL;DR: In this article, a simple method is presented for doing systematic constrained instanton calculations in models such as φ4 or Higgs theories where the presence of a mass term prevents the existence of a classical solution.
