Higher dimensional supersymmetry in 4D superspace
Abstract
We present an explicit formulation of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories from 5 to 10 dimensions in the familiar superspace. This provides the rules for globally supersymmetric model building with extra dimensions and in particular allows us to simply write down SUSY preserving interactions between bulk fields and fields localized on branes. We present a few applications of the formalism by way of illustration, including supersymmetric ``shining'' of bulk fields, orbifolds and localization of chiral fermions, anomaly inflow and super-Chern-Simons theories.

Typos corrected. Added reference to early work by Marcus, Sagnotti and Siegel and a term to the non-Abelian Lagrangian for D>5 formally needed for gauge invariance. The results however remain unchanged
