Starting with a supersymmetric U(N)xU(N) gauge theory built in N=1 superspace, a nonsupersymmetric theory is obtained by ``twisting'' the gauginos into a different representation of the group than the gauge bosons. Despite the fact that…

We propose a N=2 twisted superspace formalism with a central charge in four dimensions by introducing a Dirac-K\"ahler twist. Using this formalism, we construct a twisted hypermultiplet action and find an explicit form of fermionic scalar,…

We classify possible supersymmetry-preserving relevant, marginal, and irrelevant deformations of unitary superconformal theories in $d \geq 3$ dimensions. Our method only relies on symmetries and unitarity. Hence, the results are model…

We consider rigid supersymmetric theories in four-dimensional Riemannian spin manifolds. We build the Lagrangian directly in Euclidean signature from the outset, keeping track of potential boundary terms. We reformulate the conditions for…

It is shown how in 3+3 dimensions, it is possible to have a superparticle Lagrangian that has manifest supersymmetry both on the world line and in the target space.

Any 4d theory possessing $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetry admits a so called $\mathcal{S}$-multiplet, containing the conserved energy-momentum tensor and supercurrent. When a defect is introduced into such a theory, the $\mathcal{S}$-multiplet…

We construct an action for the superconformal Chern-Simons theory with non-Abelian gauge groups in three-dimensional N=3 projective superspace. We propose a Lagrangian given by the product of the function of the tropical multiplet, that…

We consider four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ supergravity models of a kind appearing in string flux compactifications. It has been recently shown that, by using double three-form multiplets instead of ordinary chiral multiplets, one can…

We derive and discuss a new type of N=2 supersymmetric quantum mechanical sigma models which appear when the superfield action of the (1,2,1) multiplets is modified by adding an imaginary antisymmetric tensor to the target space metric,…

We consider a D=4 two-twistor lagrangian for a massive particle that incorporates the mass-shell condition in an algebraic way, and extend it to a two-supertwistor model with N=2 supersymmetry and central charge identified with the mass. In…

We demonstrate that two-dimensional N=8 supersymmetric quantum mechanics which inherits the most interesting properties of $N=2, d=4$ SYM can be constructed if the reduction to one dimension is performed in terms of the basic object, i.e.…

Covariantly we reformulate the description of a spinning particle in terms of the Poincar\'{e} group. We also construct a Lagrangian which entails all possible constraints explicitly; all constraints can be obtained just from the…

We discuss the relation between standard N=2 supergravity with translational gauging and N=2 supergravities with scalar-tensor multiplets with massive tensors and Abelian electric charges. We point out that a symplectic covariant…

We define the worldline harmonic SU(2|1) superspace and its analytic subspace as a deformation of the flat N=4, d=1 harmonic superspace. The harmonic superfield description of the two mutually mirror off-shell (4,4,0) SU(2|1)…

We generalize the conformally invariant topological quantum mechanics of a particle propagating on a punctured plane by introducing a potential that breaks both the rotational and the conformal invariance down to a ${\bf Z}_2$…

For general off-shell N=2 supergravity-matter systems in three spacetime dimensions, a formalism is developed to reduce the corresponding actions from superspace to components. The component actions are explicitly computed in the cases of…

With the motivation to develop superconformal field theory on S^3, we introduce a 2n-extended supersphere S^{3|4n}, with n=1,2,..., as a homogeneous space of the three-dimensional Euclidean superconformal group OSp(2n|2,2) such that its…

We consider a twisted version of the four-dimensional N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with gauge groups SU(2) and SO(3), and bare masses for two of its chiral multiplets, thereby breaking N=4 down to N=2. Using the wall-crossing…

The (4,0) supermultiplet in 6 dimensions contains a 4th rank tensor gauge field with the symmetries of the Riemann tensor and is superconformal, with 32+32 supersymmetries. Dimensional reduction on a circle gives the 5D N=8 supergravity…

We consider N=2 and N=4 supersymmetric gauge theories in two-dimensions, coupled to matter multiplets. In analogy with the N=2 case also in the N=4 case one can introduce Fayet-Iliopoulos terms.The associated three-parameters have the…
