Abstract We consider a family of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 superconformal field theories in four dimensions, defined as ℤq orbifolds of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory. We compute the chiral/anti-chiral correlation functions at a perturbative level, using both the matrix model approach arising from supersymmetric localisation on the four-sphere and explicit field theory calculations on the flat space using the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 superspace formalism. We implement a highly efficient algorithm to produce a large number of results for finite values of N , exploiting the symmetries of the quiver to reduce the complexity of the mixing between the operators. Finally the interplay with the field theory calculations allows to isolate special observables which deviate from $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 only at high orders in perturbation theory.

A general solution of the Batalin–Vilkovisky master equation was formulated in terms of generalized fields. Recently, a superfields approach of obtaining solutions of the Batalin–Vilkovisky master equation is also established. Superfields formalism is usually applied to topological quantum field theories. However, generalized fields method is suitable to find solutions of the Batalin–Vilkovisky master equation either for topological quantum field theories or the usual gauge theories like Yang–Mills theory. We show that by truncating some components of superfields with appropriate actions, generalized fields formalism of the usual gauge theories result. We demonstrate that for some topological quantum field theories and the relativistic particle both of the methods possess the same field contents and yield similar results. Inspired by the observed relations, we give the solution of the BV master equation for on-shell N=1 supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory utilizing superfields.

The quantization of the noncommutative [Formula: see text], U(1) super-Yang–Mills action is performed in the superfield formalism. We calculate the one-loop corrections to the self-energy of the vector superfield. Although the power-counting theorem predicts quadratic ultraviolet and infrared divergences, there are actually only logarithmic UV and IR divergences, which is a crucial feature of noncommutative supersymmetric field theories.

Using the Dirac method, we study the Hamiltonian consistency for three field theories. First, we study the electrodynamics a la Hořava and we show that this system is consistent for an arbitrary dynamical exponent z. Second, we study a Lifshitz type electrodynamics, which was proposed by Alexandre and Mavromatos [Phys. Rev. D 84, 105013 (2011)]. For this latter system we found that the canonical momentum and the electrical field are related through a Proca type Green function, however this system is consistent. In addition, we show that the anisotropic Yang–Mills theory with dynamical exponent z = 2 is consistent. Finally, we study a generalized anisotropic Yang–Mills theory and we show that this system is consistent too.

We follow Witten's proposal1 in the calculation of conformal anomaly from (d + 1)-dimensional higher derivative gravity via AdS/CFT correspondence. It is assumed that some d-dimensional conformal field theories have a description in terms of above (d + 1)-dimensional higher derivative gravity which includes not only the Einstein term and cosmological constant but also curvature squared terms. The explicit expression for two-dimensional and four-dimensional anomalies is found, it contains higher derivative corrections. In particular, it is shown that not only Einstein gravity but also theory with the Lagrangian L =aR2 + bRμνRμν + Λ (even when a=0 or b=0) is five-dimensional bulk theory for [Formula: see text] super-Yang–Mills theory in AdS/CFT correspondence. Similarly, the d + 1 = 3 theory with (or without) Einstein term may describe d = 2 scalar or spinor CFT's. That gives new versions of bulk side which may be useful in different aspects. As application of our general formalism we find next-to-leading corrections to the conformal anomaly of [Formula: see text] supersymmetric theory from d = 5 AdS higher derivative gravity (low energy string effective action).

Some aspects of recent development in the light-cone gauge and its special role in quantum-field theories are reviewed. Topics discussed include the two- and four-component formulations of the light-cone gauge, Slavnov–Taylor and Becchi– Rouet–Stora identities, quantum electrodynamics, quantum chromodynamics, renormalization of Yang–Mills theory and supersymmetric theory, gravity, and the quantum-induced compactification of Kaluza–Klein theories in the light-cone gauge.
