Three-dimensional field theories with N=3 and N=4 supersymmetries are considered in the framework of the harmonic-superspace approach. Analytic superspaces of these supersymmetries are similar; however, the geometry of gauge theories with…

Harmonic superspaces for spacetimes of dimension $d\leq 3$ are constructed. Some applications are given.

We sketch recent applications of the harmonic superspace approach for off-shell formulations of $(4,4)$, $2D$ sigma models with torsion and for constructing super KdV hierarchies associated with "small" and "large" $N=4$ superconformal…

Representations of four-dimensional superconformal groups on harmonic superfields are discussed. It is argued that any representation can be given as a superfield on many superflag manifolds. Representations on analytic superspaces do not…

This is a brief survey of applications of the harmonic superspace methods to the models of N=4 supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SQM). The main focus is on a recent progress in constructing SQM models with couplings to the background…

We derive harmonic superspaces for N=2,3,4 SYM theory in four dimensions from superstring theory. The pure spinors in ten dimensions are dimensionally reduced and yield the harmonic coordinates. Two anticommuting BRST charges implement…

A short survey of some aspects of harmonic superspace is given. In particular, the $d=3, N=8$ scalar supermultiplet and the $d=6, N=(2,0)$ tensor multiplet are described as analytic superfields in appropriately defined harmonic superspaces.

We give a brief account of two recent applications of the harmonic superspace method: (i) an off-shell description of torsionful $(4,4)$ supersymmetric $2D$ sigma models in the framework of $SU(2)\times SU(2)$ harmonic superspace and (ii)…

Representations of four-dimensional superconformal groups on harmonic superfields are discussed. It is shown how various short representations can be obtained by parabolic induction. It is also shown that such short multiplets may admit…

We review some general and recent results on the characterization and construction of timelike supersymmetric solutions of 4-dimensional supergravity theories.

An introduction to and a partial review of supergravity theories is given, insisting on concepts and on some important technical aspects. Topics covered include elements of global supersymmetry, a derivation of the simplest N=1 supergravity…

The SU(3)/U(1) x U(1) harmonic variables are used in the harmonic-superspace representation of the D=4, N=3 SYM-equations. The harmonic superfield equations of motion in the simple non-covariant gauge contain the nilpotent harmonic analytic…

The paper addresses the question whether in four spacetime dimensions, besides standard supergravity theories, field theories exist whose symmetries include local spacetime translations and supersymmetries generated by transformations whose…

We consider the map of three-dimensional N=4 superfields to N=3 harmonic superspace. The left and right representations of the N=4 superconformal group are constructed on N=3 analytic superfields. These representations are convenient for…

We analyze the superfield equations of the 4-dimensional N=4 SYM-theory using light-cone gauge conditions and the harmonic-superspace approach. The harmonic superfield equations of motion are drastically simplified in this gauge, in…

In this review, we give a pedagogical introduction to a systematic framework for constructing and analyzing supersymmetric field theories on curved spacetime manifolds. The framework is based on the use of off-shell supergravity background…

This paper is a collection of lecture notes on the superfield approach in three- and four-dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theory. Many examples of the applications of this approach to different superfield models are considered.

We consider the harmonic-superspace ($HS$) system of equations that contains superfield $SYM^1_6$ constraints and equations of motion. A dynamical equation in the special $A$-frame is equivalent to the zero-curvature equation corresponding…

The N = 4 superfield phase space coordinates are given in the harmonic superspace. The expressions of the N = 4 classical equations of motion are determined in terms of the spinorial and harmonic supercharges. Furthermore, the N = 4…

We review harmonic superspaces of the D=3, N=3 and 4 supersymmetries and gauge models in these superspaces. Superspaces of the D=3, N=5 supersymmetry use harmonic coordinates of the SO(5) group. The superfield N=5 actions describe the…
