We derive the Lagrangian for a new model of a massive rank-4 tensor field with generalized spin (2,1,1) in Minkowski spacetime of any dimension d>5, by using dimensional reduction applied to a reducible gauge model of a massless rank-4…
Massive spinning particle in $6d$-Minkowski space is described as a mechanical system with the configuration space $R^{5,1} \times CP^3$. The action functional of the model is unambiguously determined by the requirement of identical…
Off-shell $(4,q)$ supermultiplets in 2-dimensions are constructed for $q=1,2,4$. These are used to construct sigma models whose target spaces are hyperk\"ahler with torsion. The off-shell supersymmetry implies the three complex structures…
We construct in detail an N=1, D=4 superspace with the superconformal algebra as the structure group and discuss its relation to prior component approaches and the existing Poincar\'e superspaces.
We describe the ``universal'' action for massless superfields of all superspins in N = 1, D = 4 anti-de Sitter superspace as a gauge theory of unconstrained superfields taking their values in the commutative algebra of analytic functions…
We show how manifestly supersymmetric action for Wess-Zumino model can be constructed within the unfolded dynamics approach. The off-shell unfolded system for N = 1, D = 4 scalar supermultiplet is found. The action is presented in the form…
Using the superspace formulation for the 5D N = 1 Weyl supermultiplet developed in arXiv:0802.3953, we elaborate the concept of conformally flat superspace in five dimensions. For a large family of supersymmetric theories (including…
In this paper we study the supermultiplet structure of $\mathcal{N}=(1,1)$ General Massive Supergravity at non-critical and critical points of its parameter space. To do this, we first linearize the theory around its maximally…
We compute partition functions describing multiplicities and charges of massless and first massive string states of pure-spinor superstrings in 3,4,6,10 dimensions. At the massless level we find a spin-one gauge multiplet of minimal…
Extending the seminal work of Bilal and Gervais, we construct a tachyon-free, modular invariant partition function for critical superstrings on four-dimensional Minkowski x two-dimensional black hole. This model may be thought of as an…
We first propose a general method to construct the complete set of on-shell operator bases involving massive particles with any spins. To incorporate the non-abelian little groups of massive particles, the on-shell scattering amplitude…
The partial breaking of supersymmetry in flat space can be accomplished using any one of three dual representations for the massive N=1 spin-3/2 multiplet. Each of the representations can be ``unHiggsed'', which gives rise to a set of dual…
We present, for the first time, the complete off-shell $4D, {\cal N}=2$ superfield actions for any free massless integer spin ${\bf s} \geq 2$ fields, using the ${\cal N}=2$ harmonic superspace approach. The relevant gauge supermultiplet is…
This thesis is dedicated to the study of (super)spin projection operators and their applications on maximally symmetric (super)space backgrounds in three and four dimensions. On such backgrounds, the irreducible representations of the…
Unfolded equations of motion for symmetric massive bosonic fields of any spin in Minkowski and (A)dS spaces are presented. Manifestly gauge invariant action for a spin $s \ge 2$ massive field in any dimension is constructed in terms of…
We develop superspace techniques to construct general off-shell N=1,2,3,4 superconformal sigma-models in three space-time dimensions. The most general N=3 and N=4 superconformal sigma-models are constructed in terms of N=2 chiral…
In this paper we extend our recent results (hep-th/0304067) on the first order formulation for the massless mixed symmetry tensor fields to the case of massive fields both in Minkowski as well as in (Anti) de Sitter spaces (including all…
We discuss an $\cal{N}=2$ supergravity model that interpolates the full and the partial supersymmetry breakings. In particular, we find the conditions for an $\cal{N}=0$ Minkowski vacuum, which is continuously connected to the…
This work provides a smooth and everywhere well-defined extension of Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) supertranslations into the bulk of Minkowski space. The supertranslations lead to physically distinct spacetimes, all isometric to Minkowski…
We extend the discussion of arXiv:1007.5254 on massive Regge excitations on the first mass level of four-dimensional superstring theory. For the lightest massive modes of the open string sector, universal supermultiplets common to all…
