This paper presents a projective superspace formulation for 4D N = 2 matter-coupled supergravity. We first describe a variant superspace realization for the N = 2 Weyl multiplet. It differs from that proposed by Howe in 1982 by the choice…
On the basis of the local n=2 supersymmetry we construct the supersymmetric action for a set of complex scalar supermultiplets in the FRW model. This action corresponds to the dilaton-axion and chiral components of supergravity theory.
We derive, for $N\is2$ super-Yang--Mills with gauge group $SU(2)$ and massless matter, the supersymmetric quantum mechanical models describing the time evolution of multi-monopole configurations in the low energy approximation. This is a…
Relying on the geometrical set up of Special K\"ahler Geometry and Quaternionic Geometry, which I discussed at length in my Lectures at the 1995 edition of this Spring School, I present here the recently obtained fully general form of N=2…
We consider the class of four-dimensional N=2 gauged supergravities whose maximally symmetric ground states leave only one of the two supersymmetries intact. For these theories we derive the low-energy effective action below the scale of…
We show by explicit construction the existence of various four dimensional models of type II superstrings with N=2 supersymmetry, purely vector multiplet spectrum and no hypermultiplets. Among these, two are of special interest, at the…
We elaborate on a new N=2, d=3 supermultiplet (double-vector multiplet) with a non-trivial off-shell realization of the central charge. Its bosonic sector comprises two abelian gauge vector fields forming an SO(2) vector. We present a…
Starting from N=1 scalar supermultiplets in 2+1 dimensions, we build explicitly the composite superpartners which define a N=2 superalgebra induced by the initial N=1 supersymmetry. The occurrence of this extension is linked to the…
N=2 supersymmetric field theories in two dimensions have been extensively studied in the last few years. Many of their properties can be determined along the whole renormalization group flow, like their coupling dependence and soliton…
We review a recent progress in constructing low-energy effective action in N=4 super Yang-Mills theories. Using harmonic superspace approach we consider N=4 SYM in terms of unconstrained N=2 superfield and apply N=2 background field method…
The Coulomb branch of $N=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions is described in general by an integrable Hamiltonian system in the holomorphic sense. A natural construction of such systems comes from two-dimensional gauge…
It is shown that for N=2 supersymmetry a hidden symmetry arises from the hybrid structure of a quartic algebra. The implications for invariant Lagrangians and multiplets are explored.
We construct the D=3, N=5 harmonic superspace using the SO(5)/U(1) x U(1) harmonics. Three gauge harmonic superfields satisfy the off-shell constraints of the Grassmann and harmonic analyticities. The corresponding component supermultiplet…
We use superspace methods to study an SYK-like model with $\mathcal N=2$ supersymmetry in one dimension, and an analog of this model in two dimensions. We find the four-point function as an expansion in the basis of eigenfunctions of the…
We discuss a two-dimensional lagrangian model with $N=2$ supersymmetry described by a K\"{a}hler potential $K(X,\bar{X})$ and superpotential $gX^k$ which explicitly exhibits renormalization group flows to infrared fixed points where the…
We address the problem of classifying all N=2 supercurrent multiplets in four space-time dimensions. For this purpose we consider the minimal formulation of N=2 Poincare supergravity with a tensor compensator, and derive its linearized…
We present a new, alternative interpretation of the vector-tensor multiplet as a 2-form in central charge superspace. This approach provides a geometric description of the (non-trivial) central charge transformations ab initio and is…
Action of 4 dimensional N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory is written by employing the superfields in N=4 superspace which were used to prove the equivalence of its constraint equations and equations of motion. Integral forms of the…
We construct a new N=2 supersymmetric extension of a massive particle moving near the horizon of the extreme Kerr black hole. Our supercharges and Hamiltonian contain the proper number of fermions (two for each bosonic variables). The key…
We present the description in central charge superspace of N=4 supergravity with antisymmetric tensor coupled to an arbitrary number of abelian vector multiplets. All the gauge vectors of the coupled system are treated on the same footing…
