The one-loop effective action (the Casimir gravitational energy) of the aribitrary Einstein supergravity on the background [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the Minkowski space with non-zero temperature, Td is the d-dimensional torus, is calculated. The problem of quantum breaking of supersymmetry is discussed. The Vilkovisky-De Witt effective action in the D-dimensional Einstein gravity with the Λ-term on the background [Formula: see text] is found. An idea is expressed that a temperature phase transition in Kaluza-Klein theories is possible. For d=5 gravity, the Vilkovisky-De Witt effective action on the [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is four-dimensional curved space-time with non-zero temperature, is found.

The one-loop effective action (EA) for arbitrary supersymmetric theory with broken supersymmetry on the background Rb × Td−n, where Rn, Td are n-dimensional curved space-time and d-dimensional torus, is obtained. Vilcovisky-De Witt EA in d = 5 (super)gravity on the background R4 × T1 at nonzero temperature is calculated with accuracy to linear curvature terms. Vacuum energy for open and closed superstrings with broken supersymmetry on the background M4 × T6, where M4 is Minkowski space, is also obtained. The question of the possibility of spontaneous compactification in models under consideration is analyzed.

In the present paper a general expression of quantum effective action for arbitrary d-dimensional supergravity on the background Rn×Td−n′ where Rn is n-dimensional curved space-time, Td is d-dimensional torus, is obtained as an expansion on the curvature and its derivatives. The mechanism of inducing Einstein gravity with zero Λ term is proposed. It is shown that the 4-dimensional gravity with the true sign of the Newton constant is induced from d=5 supergravity when antiperiodic boundary conditions are chosen for all fields of supermultiplet. The one-loop effective action is obtained for d=4, 5, 7, 10 supergravities with the accuracy of linear curvature terms. The one-loop Vilcovisky-De Witt effective action is also obtained for d=5 SG’s with the accuracy of linear curvature terms.

We obtain high temperature results for the one-loop effective action for composite fields in interaction with an Abelian gauge field and minimally coupled to gravity in a curved background space-time, using the Vilkovisky-DeWitt approach, by making a local expansion in the Riemann tensor and its derivatives. We also give results for the fields minimally coupled to gravity in an arbitrary curved background space-time at zero temperature, and for the case where the fields are nonminimally coupled to gravity in Euclidean de Sitter space. The results obtained are gauge-invariant and gauge-condition-independent on-shell as well as off-shell.

The one-loop Vilkovisky effective potential which is not dependent on a gauge and a parametrization of quantum field, is investigated. We have considered Einstein gravity on a background manifold of (flat space) × (d−4- sphere) or × (d−4- dimensional torus ), d is even, and of R3 × (1- sphere ), where R3 is flat space. The numerical calculation for the cases R4 × Td−4 (d = 6,8,10) and R3 × S1 is done. The solution to the one-loop corrected equations of motion is found, although the spontaneous compactification is not stable in these cases.

We suggest the quasiparticle picture behind the integrable structure of N=2 SYM theory which arises if the Lax operator is considered as a Hamiltonian for the fermionic system. We compare the meaning of BPS states with the one coming from the D-brane interpretation and give some evidence for the compositeness of the self-dual strings. The temperature phase transition with the disappearance of the mass gap is conjectured.

The alternating transverse Ising model with A and B sublattices is solved exactly in one and two dimensions, when a transverse field applied only to the A sublattice. The critical point of the honeycomb lattice is given as a function of the alternating transverse field. Moreover, the zero-temperature phase transition in the one-dimensional model with another alternating transverse field is discussed rigorously.

The ground-state instabilities for a one-dimensional lattice system of electrons with onsite (Hubbard) and bond-site (hopping) interactions are analyzed in a perturbative approach. The zero temperature phase diagram at different band fillings is drawn; an attractive (repulsive) bond-site interaction favors the appearance of a superconductor state at low concentrations of electrons (holes). A comparison with the exact results for the Hubbard model and previous works for particular cases is also discussed.
