Bent waveguides for matter-waves: supersymmetric potentials and reflectionless geometries

TL;DR: Using methods of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, pairs of bent waveguides are found whose geometry-induced potentials share the same scattering properties, and reflectionless waveguide, dual to the straight waveguide, are identified.

Quantum vacuum, dark matter, dark energy and spontaneous supersymmetry breaking

TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of the vacuum condensates characterizing many physical phenomena was studied, and it was shown that the nonzero energy of the condensate may induce spontaneous supersymmetry breaking.

On supersymmetries in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics

TL;DR: In this article, the even, odd, and total supersymmetries as well as the invariance (super)algebras of one-dimensional nonrelativistic systems are determined and closed subsets generating kinematical invariance Lie superalgeses are pointed out.

SUSYQM and SWKB Approaches to the Relativistic Equations with Hyperbolic Potential V0 tanh2 (r/d)

TL;DR: In this paper, supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSYQM) and shape invariance were applied to investigate the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations with the hyperbolic potential V 0tanh2 (r/d).
Journal ArticleDOI

Extra)Ordinary Gauge Mediation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study models of "extra)ordinary gauge mediation" which consist of taking ordinary gauge mediation and extending the messenger superpotential to include all renormalizable couplings consistent with SM gauge invariance and an R-symmetry.

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.
