$\mathcal{N}=2$ higher-spin supercurrents
Abstract
We have constructed conserved higher-spin supercurrents for an arbitrary integer spin through the unconstrained superfield formulation of massless higher-spin theories in the harmonic superspace. The obtained supercurrents are gauge-invariant and determine consistent cubic interactions in the \textit{gauge superfield} \textit{supercurrent} form for massless spin and two massless spin supermultiplets. Such interactions and supercurrents exist only for . These supercurrents are the supersymmetric extension of Berends-Burgers-van Dam higher-spin currents and generalize the linearized Bel-Robinson tensor. The relevant supercurrents can be considered as the descendants of the principle supercurrent, which has a simple universal structure. An important feature of our outcomes is that, ultimately, all supercurrents are built from the superfield strengths, which are constructed from the unconstrained analytical higher-spin prepotentials.
