Using the worldline SU(2|1) superfield approach, we construct N=4 superconformally invariant actions for the d=1 multiplets (1, 4, 3) and (2, 4, 2). The SU(2|1) superfield framework automatically implies the trigonometric realization of the…

New models of the SU(2|1) supersymmetric mechanics based on gauging the systems with dynamical (1,4,3) and semi-dynamical (4,4,0) supermultiplets are presented. We propose a new version of SU(2|1) harmonic superspace approach which makes it…

We construct new models of `curved' SU$(4|1)$ supersymmetric mechanics based on two versions of the off-shell multiplet ${\bf(8,8,0)}$ which are `mirror' to each other. The worldline realizations of the supergroup SU$(4|1)$ are treated as a…

We define basics of $(4,4)\;\; 2D$ harmonic superspace with two independent sets of $SU(2)$ harmonic variables and apply it to construct new superfield actions of $(4,4)$ supersymmetric two-dimensional sigma models with torsion and mutually…

We define N=4, d=1 harmonic superspace HR^{1+2|4} with an SU(2)/U(1) harmonic part, SU(2) being one of two factors of the R-symmetry group SU(2)xSU(2) of N=4, d=1 Poincar\'e supersymmetry. We reformulate, in this new setting, the models of…

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 define the $SU(2)\times SU(2)$ harmonic superspace analogs of tensor and nonlinear $(4,4)$, $2D$ supermultiplets. They are described by constrained analytic superfields and provide an off-shell formulation of a class of torsionful…

We construct manifestly ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric off-shell superfield actions for the HKT $d=1$ sigma models on the group manifolds U(2) and SU(3), using the harmonic $d=1$ approach. The underlying $({\bf 4, 4, 0})$ and $({\bf 4, 4,…

Motivated by a recent interest in curved rigid supersymmetries, we construct a new type of N=4, d=1 supersymmetric systems by employing superfields defined on the cosets of the supergroup SU(2|1). The relevant worldline supersymmetry is a…

The ${\cal N}{=}8, 1D$ analytic bi-harmonic superspace is shown to provide a natural setting for ${\cal N}{=}8$ supersymmetric mechanics associated with the off-shell multiplet ${\bf (4, 8, 4)}$ . The latter is described by an analytic…

We elaborate on four different types of twisted ${\cal N}=(4,4)$ supermultiplets in the $SU(2) \times SU(2)$, 2D harmonic superspace. In the conventional ${\cal N}=(4,4)$, 2D superspace they are described by the superfields $\hat q^{i a}$,…

We develop a new superfield approach to N=4 supersymmetric mechanics based on the concept of biharmonic superspace (bi-HSS). It is an extension of the N=4,d=1 superspace by two sets of harmonic variables associated with the two SU(2)…

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…

We develop N=4 d=4 bi-harmonic superspace and use it to derive a novel form for the low-energy effective action in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. We solve the N=4 supergauge constraints in this superspace in terms of analytic superfields.…

We reconstruct the action of $N=1, D=4$ Wess-Zumino and $N=1, 2, D=4$ super-Yang-Mills theories, using integral top forms on the supermanifold ${\cal M}^{(4|4)}$. Choosing different Picture Changing Operators, we show the equivalence of…

We consider the harmonic-superspace formalism in the $N=4$ supersymmetry using the $SU(4)/SU(2)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ harmonics which was earlier applied to the abelian gauge theory. The N=4 non-abelian constraints in a standard…

We study quantum properties of SU$(2|1)$ supersymmetric (deformed ${\cal N}=4$, $d=1$ supersymmetric) extension of the superintegrable Smorodinsky--Winternitz system on a complex Euclidian space $\mathbb{C}^N$. The full set of wave…
