We interpret superfields in a functorial formalism that explains the properties that are assumed for them in the physical applications. The starting point of this research was the need to understand in a sound mathematical framework some…
We sketch the construction of a derived enhancement of the reciprocity isomorphism of class field theory. Details will appear in a forthcoming joint paper of the authors with A. Raksit.
As the full off-shell theories of supergravity in the important dimensions of eleven and ten dimensions are currently unknown, we introduce a superfield formalism as a foundation and experimental laboratory to explore the possibility that…
In this paper we introduce a finite field analogue of a Lauricella hypergeometric series. An integral formula for the Lauricella hypergeometric series and its finite field analogue are deduced. Transformation and reduction formulae and…
The projective line over a field carries structure of a groupoid with a certain correspondence between objects and arrows. We discuss to what extent the field can be reconstructed from the groupoid.
We complete the N=1 superfield action for the generic system of vector multiplets and hypermultiplets coupled to 5D supergravity, which is based on the superconformal formulation. Especially we clarify the gravitational couplings to the…
We modify the four-dimensional N=1 linearized supergravity in a way that components in each superfield are completely identified with fields in the full superconformal formulation. This identification makes it possible to use both…
We apply Ferrara-Porrati-Sagnotti approach to the case of one-dimensional supersymmetric model with N=2 supersymmetry spontaneously broken to the N=1 one. We explicitly demonstrate that only one superfield can be treated as the Goldstone…
Simple constructions are given for finite semifields that include as special cases both old semifields and recently constructed semifields.
I provide some comments on Arithmetic Teichmuller Spaces constructed in my paper arXiv:2106.11452.
Nonlinear realizations superfield techniques, pertinent to the description of partial breaking of global N=2 supersymmetry in a flat d=4 super Minkowski background, are generalized to the case of partially broken N=1 AdS5 supersymmetry…
Three nonequivalent real forms of the complex twisted N=2 supersymmetric Toda chain hierarchy (solv-int/9907021) in real N=1 superspace are presented. It is demonstrated that they possess a global twisted N=2 supersymmetry. We discuss a new…
This paper has been withdrawn because the new one gr-qc/0512095 includes all its results (as well as those in gr-qc/0511016) in a clearer way.
We present expressions for the supercurrents generated by a generic $4D,~\mathcal{N}=1$ theory of complex linear superfield $\Sigma$. We verify that these expressions satisfy the appropriate superspace conservation equations. Furthermore,…
We derive the general supertrace formula for a system with $N$ chiral superfields and one nilpotent chiral superfield in global and local supersymmetry. The nilpotent multiplet is realized by taking the scalar-decoupling limit of a chiral…
We discuss the higher superspin superfield formalism of Kuzenko et al from the basis of a unified treatment of an unconstrained spinorial superfield prepotential, its action and a restricted set of gauge transformations. We recover previous…
Recent developments in supersymmetric unified theories are reviewed, with particular emphasis on supersymmetric grand unification and a brief discussion of recent ideas about extra dimensions.
For a finite separable field extension K/k, all subfields can be obtained by intersecting so-called principal subfields of K/k. In this work we present a way to quickly compute these intersections. If the number of subfields is high, then…
Although the chiral dotted spinor superfield should describe a Massive Superspin One Half multiplet, it has not been obvious how to derive this from an action. In this paper this is done by including a chiral undotted spinor superfield,…
A modification of the harmonic superfield formalism in $D=4, N=2$ supergravity using a subsidiary condition of covariance under the background supersymmetry with a central charge ($B$-covariance) is considered. Conservation of analyticity…
