Elaborating on previous work (hep-th/0605211, hep-th/0611247), we show how the linear and nonlinear chiral multiplets of N=4 supersymmetric mechanics with the off-shell content (2,4,2) can be obtained by gauging three distinct two-parameter…
We review the construction of 4D, N =2 globally supersymmetric off-shell nonlinear sigma models whose target spaces are the cotangent bundles of K\"ahler manifolds.
We use the manifestly N=2 supersymmetric, off-shell, harmonic (or twistor) superspace approach to solve the constraints implied by four-dimensional N=2 superconformal symmetry on the N=2 non-linear sigma-model target space, known as the…
We construct SU$(2|1)$, $d=1$ supersymmetric models based on the coupling of dynamical and semi-dynamical (spin) multiplets, where the interaction term of both multiplets is defined on the generalized chiral superspace. The dynamical…
We construct a new off-shell invariant in N=2, D=5 supergravity whose leading term is the square of the Riemann tensor. It contains a gravitational Chern-Simons term involving the vector field that belongs to the supergravity multiplet. The…
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…
We review harmonic superspaces of the D=3, N=3 and 4 supersymmetries and gauge models in these superspaces. Superspaces of the D=3, N=5 supersymmetry use harmonic coordinates of the SO(5) group. The superfield N=5 actions describe the…
We construct a variety of off-shell $N{=}8, d{=}1$ supermultiplets with finite numbers of component fields as direct sums of properly constrained $N{=}4, d{=}1$ superfields. We also show how these multiplets can be described in $N{=}8,…
An off-shell formulation is given for the ``supersymmetry in singular spaces'' which has recently been developed in an on-shell formalism by Bergshoeff, Kallosh and Van Proeyen using supersymmetry singlet `coupling constant' field and…
It is shown that canonical quantization of the $4d$ Siegel superparticle yields massless Wess-Zumino model as an effective field theory. Quantum states of the superparticle are realized in terms of the real scalar superfields which prove to…
Using superspace projection operators we provide a classification of (3/2,2) off-shell supermultiplets which are realized in terms of a real axial vector superfield, with or without compensating superfields. Any linearized supergravity…
In this paper we construct an unfolded formulation for the massive higher spin N=1 supermultiplets in four dimensional AdS space. We use the same frame-like gauge invariant multispinor formalism that was used previously for their Lagrangian…
We review a manifestly supersymmetric off-shell formulation of a wide class of torsionful $(4,4)$ $2D$ sigma models and their massive deformations in the harmonic superspace with a double set of $SU(2)$ harmonic variables. Sigma models with…
We construct a new two-dimensional N=8 supersymmetric mechanics with nonlinear chiral supermultiplet. Being intrinsically nonlinear this multiplet describes 2 physical bosonic and 8 fermionic degrees of freedom. We construct the most…
We propose a method to construct on-shell component actions for theories with 1/2 partial breaking of global supersymmetry within the nonlinear realization (coset) approach. In contrast with the standard superfield approach in which…
We introduce a new kind of non-relativistic ${\cal N}{=}\,8$ supersymmetric mechanics, associated with worldline realizations of the supergroup $SU(2|2)$ treated as a deformation of flat ${\cal N}{=}\,8$, $d{=}1$ supersymmetry. Various…
We analyze the $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric Wess-Zumino model dimensionally reduced to the $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric model in three Euclidean dimensions. As in the original model in four dimensions and the $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ model…
A non standard super extensions of the Poincare algebra (S-algebra [1,2]), which seems to be relevant for construction of various D=11 models, are studied. We present two examples of actions for point-like dynamical systems, which are…
We analyse the geometry of four-dimensional bosonic manifolds arising within the context of $N=4, D=1$ supersymmetry. We demonstrate that both cases of general hyper-K\"ahler manifolds, i.e. those with translation or rotational isometries,…
In our previous paper we construct a renormalizable Wess-Zumino action on BFNC superspace at the second order approximation of noncommutative parameters. The action contains about 200 terms which are necessary for renormalization. By…
