We explicitly construct and list all unitary superconformal multiplets, along with their index contributions, in five and six dimensions. From this data, we uncover various unifying themes in the representation theory of five- and…
We present arguments to support the existence of weight spaces for supersymmetric field theories and identify the calculations of information about supermultiplets to define such spaces via the concept of "holoraumy." For the first time…
We show that the Hamiltonian of (N=1;d=10) super Yang-Mills can be expressed as a quadratic form in a very similar manner to that of the (N=4;d=4) theory. We find a similar quadratic form structure for pure Yang-Mills theory but this…
We construct a class of nonabelian superconformal (1,0) hypermultiplet theories in six dimensions by introducing an abelian auxiliary field. The gauge fields of this class of theories are non-dynamical, and this class of theories can be…
We present a twistor space that describes super null-lines on six-dimensional N=(1,1) superspace. We then show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between holomorphic vector bundles over this twistor space and solutions to the field…
We present a projective superspace formulation for matter-coupled simple supergravity in five dimensions. Our starting point is the superspace realization for the minimal supergravity multiplet proposed by Howe in 1981. We introduce various…
We complete the N=1 superfield action for the generic system of vector multiplets and hypermultiplets coupled to 5D supergravity, which is based on the superconformal formulation. Especially we clarify the gravitational couplings to the…
We construct a 6D nonabelian ${\cal N}=(1,0)$ theory by coupling an ${\cal N}=(1,0)$ tensor multiplet to an ${\cal N}=(1, 0)$ hypermultiplet. While the ${\cal N}=(1, 0)$ tensor multiplet is in the adjoint representation of the gauge group,…
Within the supertwistor approach, we analyse the superconformal structure of 4D N = 2 compactified harmonic/projective superspace. In the case of 5D superconformal symmetry, we derive the superconformal Killing vectors and related building…
In this paper I review the multiplet calculus of $N = 1$, $D = 1$ local supersymmetry with applications to the construction of models for spinning particles in background fields, and models with space-time supersymmetry. New features…
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 systematic and 'from the ground up' analysis of the 'minimal coupling' type of gauging of Yang-Mills symmetries in (2,2)-supersymmetric 1+1-dimensional spacetime. Unlike in the familiar 3+1-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric case,…
It is known that Yang-Mills theories on non-commutative space can be derived from large-N reduced models. Gauge fields in non-commutative Yang-Mills theories can be described as fluctuations of matrices expanded about an appropriate…
For the most general off-shell N = 2 supersymmetric sigma model in projective superspace, we elaborate on its formulation in terms of N = 1 chiral superfields. A universal (model-independent) expression is obtained for the holomorphic…
The spectrum of N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, calculated on the lattice, is presented. The masses have been determined on three different lattice spacings and extrapolated towards vanishing gluino mass. We present the extrapolation…
In physics literature about supersymmetry, many authors refer to "super Minkowski spaces". These spaces are affine supermanifolds with certain distinguished spin structures. In these notes, we make the notion of such spin structures precise…
The structure of on-shell and off-shell 2D, (4,4) supersymmetric scalar multiplets is investigated, in components and in superspace. We reach the surprising result that there exist eight {\underline {distinct}} on-shell versions and an even…
We present supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in arbitrary even dimensions with the signature (9+m,1+m) where $m=0,1,2,...$ beyond ten-dimensions up to infinity. This formulation utilizes null-vectors and is a generalization of our previous…
Unfolded equations of motion for N = 1, D = 4 scalar supermultiplet are presented. We show how the superspace formulation emerges from the unfolded formulation. To analyze supersymmetric unfolded equations we extend the \sigma_-cohomology…
Supersymmetry is studied in 2+1 dimensions. In addition to the multiplets corresponding to those in 3+1 dimensions the Clifford algebra allows an extra set. When the extra chiral multiplet is included, formulating supersymmetric QED3 in the…
