We propose a superfield method to construct off-shell actions for N-extended conformal supergravity theories in three space-time dimensions. It makes use of the superform technique to engineer supersymmetric invariants. The method is…
The notion of spherically symmetric superfunctions as functions invariant under the orthosymplectic group is introduced. This leads to dimensional reduction theorems for differentiation and integration in superspace. These spherically…
Unfolded equations of motion for N = 1, D = 4 scalar supermultiplet are presented. We show how the superspace formulation emerges from the unfolded formulation. To analyze supersymmetric unfolded equations we extend the \sigma_-cohomology…
In this paper, we develop a momentum super space formalism for $\mathcal{N}=1,2$ superconformal field theories in three dimensions. First, we solve for super-correlators in the usual momentum superspace variables. However, we found that…
We present new off-shell formulations for the massive superspin-3/2 multiplet. In the massless limit, they reduce respectively to the old minimal (n=-1/3) and non-minimal ($n\neq -1/3, 0$) linearized formulations for 4D N=1 supergravity.…
We develop a manifestly conformal approach to describe linearised (super)conformal higher-spin gauge theories in arbitrary conformally flat backgrounds in three and four spacetime dimensions. Closed-form expressions in terms of gauge…
We evaluate one-loop partition functions of higher-spin fields in thermal flat space with angular potentials; this computation is performed in arbitrary space-time dimension, and the result is a simple combination of Poincar\'e characters.…
An explicit construction of theories of spinning particles, both massive and massless, is given with arbitrary extended supersymmetry on the world-line. As an application of our results, we give a universal description of 3D (and via…
Theories containing infinite number of higher spin fields require a particular definition of summation over spins consistent with their underlying symmetries. We consider a model of massless scalars interacting (via bilinear conserved…
We present a new method of deriving the off-shell spectrum of supergravity and massless $4D,~\mathcal{N}=1$ higher spin multiplets without the need of an action and based on a set of natural requirements: (a.) existence of an underlying…
We study the spectrum of certain two-particle operators in the supergravity regime of the D1-D5 system, focussing on the four-point correlators of tensor multiplets on $AdS_3\times S^3$ at tree level. In Mellin space, these are nicely…
The off-shell actions for $\cal N$-extended conformal supergravity theories in three dimensions were formulated in [1,2] for $1\leq {\cal N} \leq 6$ using a universal approach. Each action is generated by a closed super three-form which is…
The four point function of Conformal Field Theories (CFT's) with global symmetry gives rise to multiple crossing symmetry constraints. We explicitly study the correlator of four scalar operators transforming in the fundamental…
We discuss chirality-preserving nilpotent deformations of four-dimensional N=(1,1) Euclidean harmonic superspace and their implications in N=(1,1) supersymmetric gauge and hypermultiplet theories, basically following [hep-th/0308012] and…
The planar Dirac and the topologically massive vector gauge fields are unified into a supermultiplet involving no auxiliary fields. The superPoincar\'e symmetry emerges from the $osp(1|2)$ supersymmetry realized in terms of the deformed…
We propose a superspace formulation for conformal $(p,q)$ supergravity in two dimensions as a gauge theory of the superconformal group $\mathsf{OSp}_0 (p|2; {\mathbb R} ) \times \mathsf{OSp}_0 (q|2; {\mathbb R} )$ with a flat connection.…
In the framework of light-cone gauge formulation, massless arbitrary spin N=1 supermultiplets in four-dimensional flat space are considered. We study both the integer (super)spin and half-integer (super)spin supermultiplets. For such…
The correspondence between BRST and unfolded formulations of field equations on group manifolds and homogeneous spaces is described. The previously introduced nonstandard BRST operator, that underlies Sp(2M) invariant higher-spin field…

We introduce the spinor representations for osp(m|2n). These generalize the spinors for so(m) and the symplectic spinors for sp(2n) and correspond to representations of the supergroup with supergroup pair (Spin(m) x Mp(2n),osp(m|2n)). We…
