We obtain by superfield methods the exceptional representations of the OSp(2N/4,R) and SU(2,2/1) superalgebras which extend to supersingletons of SU(2,2/2N) and F(4), respectively. These representations describe superconformally coupled…
We investigate the second cohomology space of the Lie superalgebra $\mathcal{K}(2)$ with coefficients in the superspace of weighted densities on the (1,2)-dimentional real superspace. We explicitly give cocycles spanning this cohomology…
It is shown that the previously known $N=3$ and $N=4$ superconformal algebras can be contracted consistently by singular scaling of some of the generators. For the later case, by a contraction which depends on the central term, we obtain a…

Non-degenerate real hypersurfaces of almost Hermite-like manifolds are examined. Tangential real hypersurfaces are introduced and the main identities of such hypersurfaces are obtained. With the help of these identities, contact metric…
In this paper we study metric deformations of indecomposable metric Lie superalgebras with dimensions less or equal to 6. We consider formal deformations obtained by even cocycles, because the odd ones can not be used for constructing…
