Abstract

We present a new model of N=8\mathcal{N}{=}\,8 mechanics with semi-dynamic supermultiplets. The model is constructed as an interaction of N=4\mathcal{N}{=}\,4 supermultiplets which carry an implicit N=4\mathcal{N}{=}\,4 supersymmetry. The initial field content consists of three dynamical (1,4,3)({\bf 1, 4, 3}) multiplets: one bosonic and two fermionic. To ensure implicit N=4\mathcal{N}{=}\,4 supersymmetry, we introduce the superfields describing three semi-dynamical (4,4,0)({\bf 4, 4, 0}) multiplets: one fermionic and two bosonic. To avoid the second-order Lagrangian for fermions from the fermionic (1,4,3)({\bf 1, 4, 3}) multiplets, the conversion of their velocities into new auxiliary fields is carried out. After conversion, these multiplets turn into semi-dynamical mirror (4,4,0)({\bf 4, 4, 0}) multiplets without non-canonical terms in the N=8\mathcal{N}{=}\,8 Lagrangian at the component level. The final N=8\mathcal{N}{=}\,8 multiplet content is (1,8,7)(8,8,0)({\bf 1, 8, 7}) \oplus ({\bf 8, 8, 0}). As a first step to the ultimate N=4\mathcal{N}{=}\,4 superfield formulation of the model, we remind a natural description of the standard and mirror (4,4,0)({\bf 4, 4, 0}) multiplets in the framework of N=4,d=1\mathcal{N}{=}\,4, d{=}\,1 biharmonic superspace.
