چکیده
We construct static and time dependent exact soliton solutions for a theory of scalar fields taking values on a wide class of two dimensional target spaces, and defined on the four dimensional space-time S 3 × IR. The construction is based on an ansatz built out of special coordinates on S 3. The requirement for finite energy introduces boundary conditions that determine an infinite discrete spectrum of frequencies for the oscillating solutions. For the case where the target space is the sphere S 2 , we obtain static soliton solutions with non-trivial Hopf topological charges. In addition, such hopfions can oscillate in time, preserving their topological Hopf charge, with any of the frequencies belonging to that infinite discrete spectrum.

Twistorial formulation of a particle of arbitrary spin has been constructed. Equations of twistor transformation are obtained for massive and massless spinning particles. Twistor space of the massive particle is formed by two twistors and two complex scalars. In the massive case, integral transformations relating twistor fields with usual space–time fields have been constructed.

We give character formulae for the positive energy unitary irreducible representations of the N-extended D=4 conformal superalgebras su(2,2/N). Using these we also derive decompositions of long superfields as they descend to the unitarity threshold. These results are also applicable to irreps of the complex Lie superalgebras sl(4/N). Our derivations use results from the representation theory of...

We develope a 5D mechanism inspired in the Campbell's theorem, to explain the (neutral scalar field governed) evolution of the universe from a initially inflationary expansion that has a change of phase towards a decelerated expansion and thereinafter evolves towards the present day observed accelerated (quintessential) expansion.
