R-parity breaking phase transition in the susy singlet majoron model

We consider thermal properties of the susy singlet majoron model. We compute the critical temperature $T_c$ and the subsequent reheating temperature $T_{\rm RH}$ for $R$-parity breaking. Succesful baryogenesis constrains the parameter space via the requirements that $T_c$ and $T_{\rm RH}$ are lower than the electroweak phase transition temperature. A further constraint is provided by requiring that the gauge singlet should be kinematically allowed to decay, in order not to have a matter dominated universe at the time of nucleosynthesis. We have made a detailed study of the parameter space and find an upper limit for the susy breaking scalar mass $\mm\lsim 750~(900)$ GeV if $\gluino=100~(1000)$ GeV, which is valid except for certain special values of the singlet sector parameters.

The Higgs sector of a supersymmetric left-right model

We study the symmetry breaking sector of a supersymmetric left-right model based on the gauge group $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times U(1)_{B-L}$. The explicit mass matrices of neutral, singly charged and doubly charged scalars are constructed. In the minimum the $R$-parity is found to be spontaneously broken. An experimentally interesting feature of the model is that one of the doubly charged scalars is possibly light enough to be seen in the next linear collider.

Vector boson pair production in e-e- collisions with polarized beams

The $W$-boson pair production in $e^-e^-$ collisions with polarized beams is investigated. The helicity amplitudes are derived for general couplings and the conditions for a good high-energy behaviour of the cross-section are given. The results are applied to the heavy vector boson production in the context of the left-right symmetric model. The Ward identities and the equivalence theorem are also discussed.

Modular Invariants of $N=2$ Supersymmetric $SU(1,1)$ Models

We study the modular invariance of $N=2$ superconformal $SU(1,1)$ models. By decomposing the characters of Kazama-Suzuki model $SU(3)/(SU(2)\times U(1))$ into an infinite sum of the characters of $(SU(1,1)/U(1))\times U(1)$ we construct modular invariant partition functions of $(SU(1,1)/U(1))\times U(1)$.

Supersymmetric Gelfand-Dickey Algebra

We study the classical version of supersymmetric $W$-algebras. Using the second Gelfand-Dickey Hamiltonian structure we work out in detail $W_2$ and $W_3$-algebras.
