We consider general aspects of N= 2 gauge theories in three dimensions, including their
multiplet structure, anomalies and non-renormalization theorems. For U (1) gauge theories …

Abstract Lectures at the 1998 Les Houches Summer School: Topological Aspects of Low
Dimensional Systems. These lectures contain an introduction to various aspects of Chern …

Self-duality greatly reduces the mathematical difficulties of a theory but it is also a notion of
considerable physical significance. The new class of self-dual Chern-Simons theories …

In the last decade methods and techniques based on supersymmetry have provided deep
insights in quantum chromodynamics and other non-supersymmetric gauge theories at …

These lectures cover aspects of solitons with focus on applications to the quantum dynamics
of supersymmetric gauge theories and string theory. The lectures consist of four sections …

We study aspects of confinement in the M-theory fivebrane version of QCD (MQCD). We
show heavy quarks are confined in hadrons (which take the form of membrane-fivebrane …

We describe new solutions of Yang-Mills-Higgs theories consisting of magnetic monopoles
in a phase with fully broken gauge symmetry. Rather than spreading out radially, the …

We review some recent developments in the subject of quantum corrections to soliton mass
and central charge. We consider in particular approaches which use local densities for these …

Building on our previous results (Ref.[4]), we study D-brane and string prototypes in weakly
coupled (3+ 1)-dimensional supersymmetric field theory engineered to support (2+ 1) …
