Non-conformal higher spin supercurrents
Abstract
In four spacetime dimensions there exist two off-shell formulations for the massless multiplet of superspin , where . These supersymmetric higher spin gauge theories, known as longitudinal and transverse, are dual to each other and describe two massless fields of spin and upon elimination of the auxiliary fields. They respectively reduce, in the limiting case of , to the linearised actions for the old minimal and the non-minimal supergravity theories. Associated with these gauge massless theories are non-conformal higher spin supercurrent multiplets which we describe. We demonstrate that the longitudinal higher spin supercurrents are realised in the model for a massive chiral scalar superfield only if is odd, , with .
