Basics of ${\cal N}=2, 4D$ conformal and Einstein supergravities in the harmonic superspace approach are outlined. The crucial merit of this formulation consists in that the relevant off-shell supermultiplets, in particular ${\cal N}=2, 4D$…

We consider the harmonic-superspace formalism in the $N=4$ supersymmetry using the $SU(4)/SU(2)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ harmonics which was earlier applied to the abelian gauge theory. The N=4 non-abelian constraints in a standard…

We modify the four-dimensional N=1 linearized supergravity in a way that components in each superfield are completely identified with fields in the full superconformal formulation. This identification makes it possible to use both…

Linearized supergravity in arbitrary dimension is reformulated into a first order formalism which treats the graviton and its dual on the same footing at the level of the action. This generalizes previous work by other authors in two…

We introduce a new background field method for N=2 superspace. (We treat projective hyperspace, but similar remarks apply for the harmonic case.) In analogy to N=1, background gauge fields are in the real representation, so the…

We introduce a doubled formalism for the bosonic sector of the maximal supergravities, in which a Hodge dual potential is introduced for each bosonic field (except for the metric). The equations of motion can then be formulated as a twisted…

We study the nonlinear realization of supersymmetry in a dynamical/cosmological background in which derivative terms like kinetic terms are finite. Starting from linearly realized theories, we integrate out heavy modes without neglecting…

We consider the bosonic sectors of supergravity theories in ten and eleven dimensions which correspond to the low energy limits of string theories and M-theory. The solutions of supergravity field equations are known as supergravity…

We present the harmonic superspace formulation of $\mathcal{N}=2$ gravitino multiplet, the simplest $\mathcal{N}=2$ half-integer spin gauge supermultiplet. It is shown that, quite similar to other $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge multiplets, the…

Analytical harmonic superfields are the basic variables of a standard harmonic formalism of SYM^2_4-theory. We consider superfield actions for alternative formulations of this theory using the unconstrained harmonic prepotentials. The…

We expand the generic model involving chiral matter, super Yang-Mills gauge fields, and supergravity to second order in the gravity and gauge prepotentials in a manifestly covariant and conformal way. Such a class of models includes…

We construct a ``pseudo-supersymmetric" fermionic extension of the effective action of the bosonic string in arbitrary spacetime dimension D. The theory is invariant under pseudo-supersymmetry transformations up to the quadratic fermion…

We discuss a 1+2 dimensional model with unconventional supersymmetry at the boundary of an AdS${}_4$, \,$\mathcal{N}$-extended supergravity. The resulting features of the supersymmetric boundary open the possibility of describing the…

The N-extended supersymmetric self-dual Poincar\'e supergravity equations provide a natural local description of supermanifolds possessing hyperk\"ahler structure. These equations admit an economical formulation in chiral superspace. A…

A discussion of the number of degrees of freedom, and their dynamical properties, in higher derivative gravitational theories is presented. The complete non-linear sigma model for these degrees of freedom is exhibited using the method of…

The field strength superfield of IIB supergravity on $AdS_5\xz S^5$ is expanded in harmonics on $S^5$ with coefficients which are $D=5, N=8$ chiral superfields. On the boundary of $AdS_5$ these superfields map to $D=4,N=4$ chiral…

Recently, a non-relativistic off-shell formulation of three dimensional Newton-Cartan supergravity was proposed as the $c \rightarrow \infty$ limit of three dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supergravity in arXiv:1505.02095. In the present paper…

We present the superfield generalization of free higher spin equations in tensorial superspaces and analyze tensorial supergravities with GL(n) and SL(n) holonomy as a possible framework for the construction of a non-linear higher spin…

We extend the covariant canonical formalism recently discussed in ref. [1] to geometric theories coupled to both bosonic and fermionic $p$-forms. This allows a covariant hamiltonian treatment of supergravity theories. As examples we present…

I will report on a top-down approach relating N=2, D=4 pure supergravity with non-trivial boundary behavior to a (2+1)-dimensional analog model which is able to describe the electronic properties of graphene-like materials. This is…
