A new class of N=2 locally supersymmetric higher-derivative invariants is constructed based on logarithms of conformal primary chiral superfields. They characteristically involve a coupling to R_{\mu\nu}^2 - 1/3*R^2, which equals the…

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 construct the Weyl multiplets of N=2 conformal supergravity in five dimensions. We show that there exist two different versions of the Weyl multiplet, which contain the same gauge fields but differ in the matter field content: the…

We consider a reducible ${\cal N}=4$, $d=1$ multiplet described by a real superfield as a coupling of the mirror ${\bf (1, 4, 3)}$ and ordinary ${\bf (3, 4, 1)}$ multiplets. Employing this so-called "long multiplet", we construct a coupled…
