Domain walls have been useful to construct models of brane-world.
We study composite system of domain walls forming junctions and netwroks.
U(NC) gauge theory with NF fundamental scalars admits BPS junctions of domain
walls. When the networks/webs of these walls contain loops, their size moduli
give localized massless modes. We construct K"ahler potential of their effective
action....

It is known that the fermionic shift symmetry of the N=1, U(N) gauge model with a
superpotential of an adjoint chiral superfield is replaced by the second
(spontaneously broken) supersymmetry in the N=2, U(N) gauge model with a prepotential
and Fayet-Iliopoulos parameters. Based on a diagrammatic analysis, we demonstrate how
the well-known form of the effective superpotential in the former...

Recently, non-perturbative effects in supersymmetric gauge theories are
intensively investigated by the help of closed string backgrounds.
Especially, the graviphoton background is used to calculate the instanton
partition function in N=2 super Yang-Mills (SYM) theory.
The deformed ADHM construction of instantons is quite efficient tool for the
investigation of non-perturbative...

Higher derivative terms in M-theory are investigated by applying the Noether method.
Cancellation of variations under the local supersymmetry is examined to the order
linear in $F$ by a computer program. Structure of $R^4$ terms is uniquely determined
and exactly matches with one-loop effective terms in type IIA superstring theory. A
part of $R^3F^2$ terms is also determined.

We propose a novel and simple method to compute the partition function of statistical mechanics, or the volume of
the moduli space of BPS vortices in supersymmetric gauge theory. We use a D-brane realization of the vortices and
T-duality relation to domain walls. We there use a special limit where domain walls reduce to gas of hard (soft) one-
dimensional rods for Abelian (non-Abelian)...
