We develop the geometry of four dimensional N=2 superspace where the entire conformal algebra of SU(2,2|2) is realized linearly in the structure group rather than just the SL(2,C) x U(2)_R subgroup of Lorentz and R-symmetries, extending to…

For every parabolic subgroup $P$ of a Lie supergroup $G$, the homogeneous superspace $G/P$ carries a $G$-invariant supergeometry. We address the question whether $\mathfrak{g}=\text{Lie}(G)$ is the maximal supersymmetry of this…

We study $(2,2)$ and $(4,4)$ supersymmetric theories with superspace higher derivatives in two dimensions. A characteristic feature of these models is that they have several different vacua, some of which break supersymmetry. Depending on…

We formulate the equations which determine a potential function in an $\mathcal{N}=1$ higher derivative supersymmetric mechanics compatible with the $osp(2|1)\oplus so(d)$ symmetry and provide a few explicit examples.

It is shown that the method of the nonlinear realization of local supersymmetry previously developed in framework of supergravity being applied to the n=(2,2) superconformal symmetry allows one to get the new form of the exactly solvable…

We prove versions of super spin-charge separation for all three of the symmetry groups SU(N), Sp(2N), and SO(N) of disordered Dirac fermions in 2+1 dimensions, which involve the supercurrent-algebras gl (1|1)_{N}, osp(2|2)_{-2N}, and…

We study d=2, N=(2,2) non-linear sigma-models in (2,2) superspace. By analyzing the most general constraints on a superfield, we show that through an appropriate choice of coordinates, there are no other superfields than chiral, twisted…

We extend the Kazama-Suzuki construction of models with N=(2,2) world-sheet supersymmetry to cosets S/K of supergroups. Among the admissible target spaces that allow for an extension to N=2 superconformal algebras are some simple Lie…

We obtain a realization of the Lie superalgebra $D(2, 1 ; \alpha)$ in differential operators on the supercircle $S^{1|2}$ and in $4\times 4$ matrices over a Weyl algebra. A contraction of $D(2, 1 ; \alpha)$ is isomorphic to the universal…

We present a systematic construction of classical extended superconformal algebras from the hamiltonian reduction of a class of affine Lie superalgebras, which include an even subalgebra $sl(2)$. In particular, we obtain the doubly extended…

We discuss super Schrodinger algebras with less supercharges from N=4 superconformal algebra psu(2,2|4). Firstly N=2 and N=1 superconformal algebras are constructed from the psu(2,2|4) via projection operators. Then a super Schrodinger…

We construct heterotic string theories on spacetimes of the form R^{d-1,1} times N=2 linear dilaton, where d=6,4,2,0. There are two lines of supersymmetric theories descending from the two supersymmetric ten-dimensional heterotic theories.…

Conformal supergravity provides an effective off-shell formalism to study higher derivative actions. We show that the $D=4$, $\mathcal{N}=2$ theory admits equivariantly closed forms. These may be used to compute closed-form expressions for…

The supersymmetric completion of higher-derivative operators often requires introducing corrections to the scalar potential. In this paper we study these corrections systematically in the context of theories with $\mathcal{N}=1$ global and…

The first group of differentiable cohomology of $\Diff(S^1)$, vanishing on the M\"obius subgroup $PSL(2,R)\subset\Diff(S^1)$, with coefficients in modules of linear differential operators on $S^1$ is calculated. We introduce three…

We propose a unified superfield formulation of N=4 off-shell supermultiplets in one spacetime dimension using the standard N=4 superspace. The main idea of our approach is a "gluing" together of two linear supermultiplets along their…

We present a manifestly $N=2$ supersymmetric formulation of $N=2$ super-$W_3^{(2)}$ algebra (its classical version) in terms of the spin 1 unconstrained supercurrent generating a $N=2$ superconformal subalgebra and the spins 1/2, 2 bosonic…

We review the OSp(1|4)-invariant formulation of N=1, D=4 supergravity and present its noncommutative extension, based on a star-product originating from an abelian twist with deformation parameter \theta. After use of a geometric…

Drinfeld realisations are constructed for the quantum affine superalgebras of the series ${\rm\mathfrak{osp}}(1|2n)^{(1)}$,${\rm\mathfrak{sl}}(1|2n)^{(2)}$ and ${\rm\mathfrak{osp}}(2|2n)^{(2)}$. By using the realisations, we develop vertex…

It is shown that the method of nonlinear realization of local supersymmetry being applied to the n=(1,1) superconformal symmetry allows one reduce the new version of the super-Liouville equation to the ordinary one owing to the relaxation…
