Abstract

We study the quantum structure of four-dimensional N=2{\cal N}=2 superfield sigma-model formulated in harmonic superspace in terms of the omega-hypermultiplet superfield ω\omega. The model is described by harmonic superfield sigma-model metric gab(ω)g_{ab}(\omega) and two potential-like superfields La++(ω)L^{++}_{a}(\omega) and L(+4)(ω)L^{(+4)}(\omega). In bosonic component sector this model describes some hyper-K\"{a}hler manifold. The manifestly N=2{\cal N}=2 supersymmetric covariant background-quantum splitting is constructed and the superfield proper-time technique is developed to calculate the one-loop effective action. The one-loop divergences of the superfield effective action are found for arbitrary gab(ω),La++(ω),L(+4)(ω)g_{ab}(\omega), L^{++}_{a}(\omega), L^{(+4)}(\omega), where some specific analogy between the algebra of covariant derivatives in the sigma-model and the corresponding algebra in the N=2{\cal N}=2 SYM theory is used. The component structure of divergences in the bosonic sector is discussed.
