Abstract

We construct a new off-shell N=8\mathcal{N}{=}8, d=1d{=}1 nonlinear supermultiplet (4,8,4)(\mathbf{4,8,4}) proceeding from the nonlinear realization of the N=8\mathcal{N}{=}8, d=1d{=}1 superconformal group OSp(44)OSp(4^{\star}|4) in its supercoset OSp(44)SU(2)R{D,K}SO(4)\frac{OSp(4^{\star}|4)}{SU(2)_{\mathcal{R}}\otimes \left\{D,K\right\} \otimes SO(4)}. The irreducibility constraints for the superfields automatically follow from appropriate covariant conditions on the osp(44)osp(4^{\star}|4)-valued Cartan superforms. We present the most general sigma-model type action for (4,8,4)(\mathbf{4,8,4}) supermultiplet. The relations between linear and nonlinear (4,8,4)(\mathbf{4,8,4}) supermultiplets and linear N=8\mathcal{N}{=}8 (5,8,3)(\mathbf{5,8,3}) vector supermultiplet are discussed.
