Abstract

We construct the D=3, N=5 harmonic superspace using the SO(5)/U(1) x U(1) harmonics. Three gauge harmonic superfields satisfy the off-shell constraints of the Grassmann and harmonic analyticities. The corresponding component supermultiplet contains the gauge field A_m and an infinite number of bosonic and fermionic fields with the SO(5) vector indices arising from decompositions of gauge superfields in harmonics and Grassmann coordinates. The nonabelian superfield Chern-Simons action is invariant with respect to the N=6 superconformal supersymmetry realized on the N=5 superfields. The component Lagrangian contains the Chern-Simons interaction of A_m and an infinite number of bilinear and trilinear interactions of auxiliary fields. The fermionic and bosonic auxiliary fields from the infinite N=5 multiplet vanish on-shell.
