We investigate superfield formulation of the minimal $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-supersymmetry. It is shown that the integrability on $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-superspace guarantees the invariance of action. Then we present two superfields which carry distinct…
We investigate the possibilities of integration on the minimal $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-superspace. Two definitions are taken from the works by Poncin and Schouten and we examine their generalizations. It is shown that these definitions impose some…
We propose a natural $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$-graded generalisation of $d=2$, $\mathcal{N}=(1,1)$ supersymmetry and construct a $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-space realisation thereof. Due to the grading, the supercharges close with respect…
Superfields in 2-dimensional (2,2)-superspacetime which are independent of (some) half of the fermionic coordinates are discussed in a hopefully both comprehensive and comprehensible manner. An embarrassing abundance of these simplest…
In the standard formulation of relativistic quantum field theory, a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded structure is assumed to realize locality and the boson-fermion dichotomy. While $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-graded extensions are known to be allowed at the…
We show that a certain superfield formalism can be used to find an off-shell supersymmetric description for some supersymmetric field theories where conventional superfield formalism does not work. This "new" formalism contains even…
We construct the supergravity duals of marginal deformations of a (0,2) Landau-Ginsburg theory that describes the supersymmetric lowest Landau level. These deformations preserve supersymmetry and it is proposed that they are associated with…
We propose a very simple toy model of a $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-supersymmetric quantum system and show, via Klein's construction, how to understand the system as being an $N=2$ supersymmetric system with an extra $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-grading. That is,…
By compactifying gauge theories on a lower dimensional manifold, we often find many interesting relationships between a geometry and a supersymmetric quantum field theory. In this paper we consider conformal field theories obtained from…
We study the noncommutative superspace of arbitrary dimensions in a systematic way. Superfield theories on a noncommutative superspace can be formulated in two folds, through the star product formalism and in terms of the supermatrices. We…
The formulation of 2d-dilaton theories, like spherically reduced Einstein gravity, is greatly facilitated in a formulation as a first order theory with nonvanishing bosonic torsion. This is especially also true at the quantum level. The…
This review is devoted to some aspects of non-linear Supersymmetry in four dimensions that can be efficiently described via nilpotent superfields, in both rigid and curved Superspace. Our focus is mainly on the partial breaking of rigid…
Supersymmetry is used to derive conditions on higher derivative terms in the effective action of type IIB supergravity. Using these conditions, we are able to prove earlier conjectures that certain modular invariant interactions of order…
A quantum mechanical model that realizes the $ \mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$-graded generalization of the one-dimensional supertranslation algebra is proposed. This model shares some features with the well-known Witten model and is…
A fairly elementary introduction to supersymmetric field theories in general and the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) in particular is given. Topics covered include the cancellation of quadratic divergencies, the construction of…
The 2-dimensional space-time sine-Gordon field theory is extended algebraically within the n-dimensional space of extended complex numbers. This field theory is constructed in terms of an adapted extension of standard vertex operators. A…
The formalism of graded Poisson-sigma models allows the construction of N=(2,2) dilaton supergravity in terms of a minimal number of fields. For the gauged chiral U(1) symmetry the full action, involving all fermionic contributions, is…
A constrained superfield formalism has been proposed recently to analyze the low energy physics related to Goldstinos. We prove that this formalism can be reformulated in the language of standard realization of nonlinear supersymmetry. New…
The superalgebra of $\Z_2^2$-graded supersymmetric quantum mechanics is shown to be realizable in terms of a single bosonic degree of freedom. Such an approach is directly inspired by a description of the corresponding $\Z_2$-graded…
We formulate $R^2$ pure supergravity as a scale invariant theory built only in terms of superfields describing the geometry of curved superspace. The standard supergravity duals are obtained in both "old" and "new" minimal formulations of…
