Supersymmetry and quantum mechanics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the theoretical formulation of supersymmetric quantum mechanics and discuss many applications, including shape invariance and operator transformations, and show that a supersymmetry inspired WKB approximation is exact for a class of shape invariant potentials.

Vacuum configurations for superstrings

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied candidate vacuum configurations in ten-dimensional O(32) and E 8 × E 8 supergravity and superstring theory that have unbroken N = 1 supersymmetry in four dimensions.

Brownian motors: noisy transport far from equilibrium

TL;DR: In this paper, the main emphasis is put on directed transport in so-called Brownian motors (ratchets), i.e. a dissipative dynamics in the presence of thermal noise and some prototypical perturbation that drives the system out of equilibrium without introducing a priori an obvious bias into one or the other direction of motion.

Softly Broken Supersymmetry and SU(5)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors construct an explicit realistic SU(5) model in which softly broken supersymmetry is used to protect the Higgs doublets from quadratic mass renormalization.

Proof of the Positive-Action Conjecture in Quantum Relativity

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend their previous method of proving the positive mass conjecture to prove the positive action conjecture of Hawking for asymptotically Euclidean metric, which is crucial in proving the path integral convergent in quantum gravity theory.
