We propose a description of %manifestly supersymmetric continuous spin representations in $4D,\mathcal{N}=1$ Minkowski superspace at the level of equations of motions. The usual continuous spin wave function is promoted to a chiral or a…
A chiral superfield strength in N=2 conformal supergravity at linearized level is obtained by acting two superspace derivatives on N=4 chiral superfield strength which can be described in terms of N=4 twistor superfields. By decomposing…
It was recently demonstrated that N=1,2,3,4 super-Schwarzian derivatives can be constructed by applying the method of nonlinear realisations to finite-dimensional superconformal groups OSp(1|2), SU(1,1|1), OSp(3|2), SU(1,1|2), respectively,…
It was recently understood that one can identify a chiral algebra in any four-dimensional N=2 superconformal theory. In this note, we conjecture the full set of generators of the chiral algebras associated with the T_n theories. The…
The W_3 algebra of central charge 6/5 is realized as a subalgebra of the vertex operator algebra V_{\sqrt{2}A_2} associated with a lattice of type \sqrt{2}A_2 by using both coset construction and orbifold theory. It is proved that W_3 is…
In this review we show that a Clifford algebra possesses a unique irreducible representation; the spinor representation. We discuss what types of spinors can exist in Minkowski space-times and we explain how to construct all the…
We prove that critical and subcritical N=2 string theory gives a realization of an N=2 superfield extension of the topological conformal algebra. The essential observation is the vanishing of the background charge.
We construct W-algebra generalizations of the ^sl(2) algebra -- W-algebras W^{(2)}_n generated by two currents E and F with the highest pole of order n in their OPE. The n=3 term in this series is the Bershadsky--Polyakov algebra. We define…
The realizations of the exceptional non-linear (quadratically generated, or W-type) N=8 and N=7 superconformal algebras with Spin(7) and G_2 affine symmetry currents are reviewed. Both the N=8 and N=7 algebras admit unitary realizations in…
We consider a class of generalized Inonu-Wigner contraction for semidirect product of two particularly related semisimple Lie (super)algebras. The special class of such contractions provides D=4 Maxwell algebra and recently introduced…
The chiral algebra of 4D $\mathcal{N}=4$ SU$(N)$ super-Yang-Mills theory is an $\mathcal{N}=4$ superconformal vertex operator algebra. We analyse the structure of this algebra by studying recursively the constraints that are required by the…
Through consistent Kaluza-Klein reduction, we construct 3D $\mathcal{N} =2$ gauged supergravities corresponding to twisted compactifications of M5-branes on a product of constant curvature Riemann surfaces, including K\"{a}hler-Einstein…
An enhanced version of the conformal BMS$_{3}$ algebra is presented. It is shown to emerge from the asymptotic structure of an extension of conformal gravity in 3D by Pope and Townsend that consistently accommodates an additional spin-2…
We employ the non-linear realization techniques to relate the N=1 chiral, and the N=2 vector multiplets to the Goldstone spin 1/2 superfield arising from partial supersymmetry breaking of N=2 and N=3 respectively. In both cases, we obtain a…
There is an evidence that the N=2 Born-Infeld theory with spontaneously broken N=4 supersymmetry exhibits self-duality. We perform a further check of this hypothesis by constructing a new representation for the N=2 Born-Infeld action…
We consider Lie superalgebras under constraints of Hamiltonian reduction, yielding finite $W$-superalgebras which provide candidates for quadratic spacetime superalgebras. These have an undeformed bosonic symmetry algebra (even generators)…
We consider supersymmetry algebras in arbitrary spacetime dimension and signature. Minimal and maximal superalgebras are given for single and extended supersymmetry. It is seen that the supersymmetric extensions are uniquely determined by…
In this paper, we study the construction of the supersymmetric extensions of vertex algebras. In particular, for $N = n \in \mathbb{Z}_{+}$, we show the universal enveloping $N = n$ supersymmetric (SUSY) vertex algebra of an $N = n$ SUSY…
In this paper, we construct the super Witt algebra and super Virasoro algebra in the framework of the $\mathcal{R}(p,q)$-deformed quantum algebras. Moreover, we perform the super $\mathcal{R}(p,q)$-deformed Witt $n$-algebra, the…
We develop a general theory of $W$-algebras in the context of supersymmetric vertex algebras. We describe the structure of $W$-algebras associated with odd nilpotent elements of Lie superalgebras in terms of their free generating sets. As…
