Abstract

By dimensional reduction of a massive supersymmetric B\wedge F theory, a manifestly N=1 supersymmetric completion of a massive antisymmetric tensor gauge theory is constructed in (2+1) dimensions. In the N=1-D=3 superspace, a new topological term is used to give mass for the Kalb-Ramond field. We have introduced a massive gauge invariant model using the Stuckelberg formalism and an abelian topologically massive theory for the Kalb-Ramond superfield. An equivalence of both massive models is suggested. Further, a component field analysis is performed, showing a second supersymmetry in the model.
