We investigate some aspects of Moyal-Weyl deformations of superspace and their compatibility with supersymmetry. For the simplest case, when only bosonic coordinates are deformed, we consider a four dimensional supersymmetric field theory…
We construct a new version of the higher covariant derivative regularization for a general ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theory formulated in terms of ${\cal N}=1$ superfields. This regularization preserves both supersymmetries of the…
We consider ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric U(1) gauge theory in a nonanticommutative ${\cal N}=2$ harmonic superspace with the singlet deformation. We generalize analytic superfield and gauge parameter to the nonanticommutative theory so that…
We consider a four dimensional generalized Wess-Zumino model formulated in terms of an arbitrary K\"{a}hler potential $\mathcal{K}(\Phi,\bar{\Phi})$ and an arbitrary chiral superpotential $\mathcal{W}(\Phi)$. A general analysis is given to…

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…
We analyze higher-group structure of a 6d model coupled with a self-dual 2-form gauge field. This model is defined from 6d axion-electrodynamics with a 1-form Chern-Weil(CW) symmetry gauged dynamically. The gauging leads to a…
We propose a superspace formulation for the Weyl multiplet of N=1 conformal supergravity in five dimensions. The corresponding superspace constraints are invariant under super-Weyl transformations generated by a real scalar parameter. The…
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 construct new heterotic string backgrounds which are analogous to superstring solutions corresponding to coset models but are not simply the `embeddings'of the latter. They are described by the (1,0) supersymmetric extension of the $G/H$…
We observe that the partition function of the set of all free massless higher spins s=0,1,2,3,... in flat space is equal to one: the ghost determinants cancel against the "physical" ones or, equivalently, the (regularized) total number of…
We construct models of coupled semi-dynamical (spin) and dynamical mirror multiplets of ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric mechanics in $d=1$ harmonic superspace. Specifically, we consider a semi-dynamical mirror multiplet ${\bf (3,4,1)}$ coupled…
We consider the frame-like formulation of reducible sets of totally symmetric bosonic and fermionic higher-spin fields in flat and AdS backgrounds of any dimension, that correspond to so-called higher-spin triplets resulting from the…
Effective superpotentials obtained by integrating out matter in super Yang-Mills and conformal supergravity backgrounds in N=1 SUSY theories are considered. The pure gauge and supergravity contributions (generalizing Veneziano-Yankielowicz…
We use the superconformal method to construct a new formulation for pure off-shell D=5, N=2 Poincar\'e supergravity and present its internal gauging. The main difference between the traditional formulation and our new formulation is the…
In Lagrangian gauge systems, the vector space of global reducibility parameters forms a module under the Lie algebra of symmetries of the action. Since the classification of global reducibility parameters is generically easier than the…
Conformal higher spin (CHS) field theory, which is a solid part of recent advanced checks of AdS/CFT correspondence, finds applications in cosmology. Hidden sector of weakly interacting CHS fields suggests a resolution of the hierarchy…
The requirements of N=1 superconformal invariance for the correlation functions of chiral superfields are analysed. Complete expressions are found for the three point function for the general spin case and for the four point function for…
The lack of any local solution to the first-order-in-h omegamn Seiberg-Witten (SW) map equations for U(1) vector superfields compels us to obtain the most general solution to those equations that is a quadratic polynomial in the ordinary…
It is well-known that conformal embeddings can be used to construct non-diagonal modular invariants for affine lie algebras. This idea can be extended to construct infinite series of non-diagonal modular invariants for coset CFTs. In this…
